John Mills pounced in extra time to bag his 41st goal of the season and send Hereford FC through to the FA Vase semi-final with a 3-2 victory over Camberley Town.
The visitors, who have reached five cup finals in the last two seasons, took the lead midway through the first half with Matthew Bunyan on target.

Hereford levelled the score though on 66 minutes with a Mike Symons penalty, but with 15 minutes left on the clock Bunyan bagged his and Camberley’s second.
An upset looked on the cards, but the Bulls pulled level with 10 minutes to go through Mustapha Bundu and moved a step closer to Wembley when Mills struck in the 120th minute.
Steve Claridge’s Salisbury will join them in the last four following a 3-0 win over Ashford United.
Kane O’Keefe got the ball rolling with his 20th goal of the season and Taurean Roberts doubled the advantage on the stroke of half-time.
And, seconds after the restart, O’Keefe scored his second and Salisbury’s third to ensure their progress.
Bowers & Pitsea will replay their quarter-final clash with Kidlington next weekend after a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Len Salmon Stadium.
Kristian Thomas struck twice in the opening 10 minutes to stun the home side, but Bowers pulled a goal back on 12 minutes when Alfie Hilton turned in James Stevens’ cross.
That is the way it stayed until the interval, but within the first 20 minutes of the second half Bowers were in front, Stevens curling in a free-kick before Lewis Manor completed the turnaround.
Kidlington though, refused to be beaten, and Anaclet Odhiambo popped up with the equaliser to send the tie to extra time.
But with the sides unable to be separated in the additional 30 minutes they will go again next weekend.
