First round qualifying
Wednesday 23 September 2015
The Robins went into half-time up 8-0 as Ellicott and Thompson both doubled their tally and things only got worse for the home side as Cheltenham reached double figures on the hour mark.
And the game became even more one-sided as Alex Dinmore and Karnell Chambers completed hat-tricks.
Daniel Keane grabbed a second-half hat-trick after coming on as a substitute as FC Halifax Town sealed a 9-2 win over Nostell Miners Welfare.
The Shaymen went in at half time 5-0 up and they quickly added another early on in the second half, however Nostell did not give way easily as they pulled two goals back.
The night however belonged to Keane as he scored three goals in the last six minutes of the game.
Elsewhere, there was a dramatic finish for Wrexham as they defeated West Didsbury & Chorlton 2-1.
West Didsbury’s George Jones equalised after a first-half penalty from Jamie McColl but it was the Welshman Danny Roberts who gave Wrexham the win with a 95th-minute goal.
There was even later drama for Enfield Town who scored an extra-time winner against Spelthorne Sports to win 2-1.
The game ended at 1-1 after 90 minutes but it was a Joe Fernandes double that sent the Towners into the next round.
Meanwhile, Harry Limb bagged a 19-minute hat-trick as Boston United came from behind twice to beat Anstey Nomads 4-2.
Cosmos Mathwasa and Harry Schofield fired the away side into the lead but Limb’s hat-trick put the Pilgrims in command and into the hat.
