Nathaniel Olawole scored twice in extra-time as Staines Town beat Harrow Borough 5-3 in dramatic fashion in the FA Youth Cup Preliminary Round on Tuesday night.

Myles Morris put Harrow ahead with Olawole equalised but goals from Farradeen Muhammed and Aaron Dixon had the visitors in control at 3-1 after 32 minutes.

But Olawole found the back of the net twice more to level the match at 3-3 before grabbing the headlines in extra-time with another pair.

Elsewhere, Aaron Brett scored a hat-trick as Worcester City saw off Stafford Town 3-1 to seal their spot in the hat for the FA Youth Cup First Qualifying Round.

Brett capitalised on a mix up in the Stafford defence on 25 minutes to open the scoring but the hosts were level just minutes into the second period.

Milo Elmes then set up Brett for his second to regain the lead with 50 minutes played before the young striker completed his hat-trick with 12 minutes to go.

Also in the draw for First Round Qualifying are Swaffham Town after they beat Wisbech St Mary 9-0 with Sam Carter and Kieran Bruce both finding the back of the net twice.

And there were also big wins for Bracknell Town, who beat Highmoor Ibis 5-1, and Ashford United as Alfie Hacker and Liam McCreadie both scored hat-tricks in their 8-2 win over Chatham Town.

Lewis Risk and Josh Hastings got the other two goals as United strolled into the next round.

Finally, a Will McKechnie penalty proved crucial for Knaphill as they beat Metropolitan Police 5-4 after extra-time with Wroxham knocking Bury Town out with a 2-0 win.

Lichfield City are also through after a 3-2 win over Sporting Khalsa, Margate beat Thamesmead Town 3-0 while Steyning Town progressed at the expense of Chichester City after a 5-1 victory.
