Macclesfield produced a statement result, brushing aside National League North side South Shields 5-0 to advance to the third qualifying round of this season's FA Cup.The Silkmen have started their league campaign in fine form and sit atop the Northern Premier League table with six wins and two draws from their opening eight games, but they took their performance to the next level with a stand-out display against full-time opposition from the league above.
A first-half brace from captain Paul Dawson gave Macclesfield a healthy lead at half-time, then Tre Pemberton and Justin Johnson stretched their advantage either side of the hour mark before substitute Edy Maieco added further gloss to the scoreline in stoppage time.
Robbie Savage's side were one of three from the Northern Premier League divisions to book their place in the next round with victory over higher-level opposition.
Another of the day's surprise results came at the MAP Group UK Stadium, where NPL newcomers Stockton Town ran out 3-2 winners against Marine, who were themselves promoted from Step 3 last season.
Goals from Glen Butterworth, Tom Coulthard and Michael Fowler saw the Anchors reach the third qualifying round stage of the competition for the first time in their history. NPL Midlands Division side Anstey Nomads were also big winners on Saturday, toppling Step 3 Mickleover 1-0 on the road.
The only goal of the game came with 16 minutes on the clock through Leo Brown.
Many other NPL teams will be in the draw for the next round, although they will need to play second qualifying round replays on Tuesday night in order to move forward in the competition.
Newcastle Town of the NPL West Division came mightily close to pulling off a big FA Cup upset against National League North heavyweights Scunthorpe United, leading 1-0 until the 78th minute when Brad Nicholson rescued a draw for the current National League North leaders.
Dunston also picked up a credible result at home, drawing 1-1 with Step 2 Scarborough Athletic.
Ilkeston Town led 1-0 at National League North outfit Hereford but were pegged back and forced to settle for a replay, while Leek Town produced a performance to be proud of at full-time Kidderminster Harriers but fell just short.
The visitors led 1-0 heading into the final quarter, but Kidderminster captain Amari Morgan-Smith equalised 13 minutes from time before tucking home an injury-time winner.
The draw for the third qualifying round will be published at 1pm on Monday.

HEREFORD MATCH REPORT
MATCH REPORT | Hereford 1-1 Ilkeston Town
14th September 2024 by Hereford FC
Hereford drew 1-1 with Ilkeston Town meaning that the game will be replayed at the New Manor Ground to see who qualifies for the next round of the FA Cup.
The away side took the lead in the 43rd minute through the in-form Tom Cursons before Yusifu Ceesay equalised for the Bulls just past the hour mark.
Paul Caddis made four changes to the side that drew to Spennymoor with Kyle Howkins, Aurio Teixeira, Alex Babos and Andy Williams replacing Aaron Skinner, Lawson D’Ath,
Ahkeem Rose and Montel Gibson who has left the club.
Ian Deakin made three alterations to the team that lost to Worksop with Harvey Kirby-Moore, George Wilkinson and Jordan Stevens coming in for James Perch, Connor Brown and Jono Wafula.
The home side had the first shot of the game in the sixth minute after Williams flicked a header towards Chay Tilt who played in Ceesay but the winger dragged his effort well wide.
After a very quiet period with no chances for either side, in the 28th minute, Tate Campbell beat his man in the middle of the park and worked some space for a shot from range but his effort was just wide of the post.
In the 32nd minute, Babos delivered a brilliant corner which found Matt Preston but the centre-half had his header saved by Owen Mason.
Those chances seemed to spark some life into the game as just two minutes later a poor clearance from an Ilkeston defender dropped to Babos who was free just inside the box but the Welshman fired his effort well over.
Deakin’s side then took the lead in the 43rd minute when Harvey Kirby-Moore charged into the box, he then squared it to Cursons who slotted it into the bottom left corner.That brought the first half to a close meaning that the visitors were a goal ahead going into the break.
The second 45 got off to an even quieter start with no chances for either team in the early stages.
That was until the 64th minute when the Bulls equalised after Sammy Robinson laid it off for Rose, the substitute then hit the post with his effort but the ball deflected straight out to Ceesay who fired home.
Ilkeston had a great chance in the 75th minute after a defensive mix-up between Lewis Hudson and Howkins put Cursons through on goal but the number nine dragged his shot wide.
Six minutes later Ceesay drove forwards with the ball and into the box, he then played it to Williams but the striker could not keep his effort down.
Cursons had another brilliant opportunity in the 87th minute when he was played in on goal but he once again put his shot wide.
The Bulls pushed for a late winner but could not find one meaning that the game finished 1-1 and goes to a replay.
Hereford FC XI- A. Chapman, S. Robinson, K. Howkins, M. Preston (A. Skinner 45’), L. Hudson, A. Teixeira (L. D’Ath 45’), T. Campbell, C. Tilt (C. Matwasa 90’), A. Babos (A. Rose 45’), Y. Ceesay, A. Williams (A. Rooney 84’)
