The Dorset part-timers of the Southern League Premier Division South took the lead through Yang Seung-woo's stunning strike after nine minutes, with Cameron Munn deflecting in Jackson King's shot 11 minutes from time to seal the upset on Sunday (Monday AEDT).

Stockport survived a scare to beat Cray Wanderers of the Isthmian League Premier Division 3-2.

The League One high-flyers were facing a shock exit when they fell two goals behind in the first half, a situation not helped by a red card for goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond for a foul outside the box.

From the free-kick, defender Alex Hernandez found the top corner to make it 2-0, but Stockport staged a late fightback, with Kyle Wootton and, in added time, Mikael Mandron scoring to take the tie to extra time before Lewis Fiorini's penalty won it.

Eighth-tier Stafford Rangers also led EFL opposition 2-0 before bowing out, Grimsby finding themselves facing an embarrassing exit against a team four divisions lower before hitting back to make it 3-3 after extra time, eventually going through on penalties.

League Two Oldham beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 after extra time thanks to Will Sutton's winner.
