George Fenton’s last-gasp winner sent Chesham United into the first round proper of The FA Trophy after they beat Frome Town 2-1.
The defender popped up at the back post to fire in a header deep into stoppage-time of their third round qualifying replay.
Frome had taken the lead just before half-time through Mitchell Page, but Chesham - who face Bradford City in the Emirates FA Cup second round on Sunday - hit back early in the second half when Dave Pearce lashed home a penalty.
