Bradley Bubb fired Wealdstone one step closer to Wembley as they blitzed Billericay Town 5-2 in the Buildbase FA Trophy sixth round.
The Stones netted four times in the first half with Bubb opening the scoring after 20 minutes before Rob Swaine responded seven minutes later.
It took Bubb just two minutes to double his tally, which Ricky Wellard and Matt Whichelow then increased, leaving Billericay trailing 4-1 at half time.
The forward completed his hat-trick on 50 minutes, with Ricky Modeste’s 66th-minute strike merely a consolation for the home side.
Six goals were scored between Leyton Orient and Gateshead as a spirited display saw the Heed return from 3-0 down to earn a draw at Brisbane Road.
Josh Koroma opened the scoring for Orient on 35 minutes with a fine strike from outside the box.
Orient deepened Gateshead’s predicament after the break, as Ebou Adams found the top-right corner from 25 yards on 52 minutes and Josh Coulson turned a free-kick in from close range five minutes later.
But Danny Johnson hammered home on 68 and 78 minutes to give Gateshead hope of a comeback, which was duly delivered by Peniket’s heroic last-gasp finish.
The clash between Stockport County and Brackley Town also ended on equal terms, with a 1-1 draw ensuring a replay next Tuesday.
Brackley opened the scoring on 69 minutes when Shane Byrne’s corner was nodded down by Alex Gudger and knocked home by Lee Ndlovu.
County restored parity just four minutes later, as Dan Cowan’s cross from the right was met by Jason Oswell, whose header hit the woodwork before Jimmy Ball converted on the rebound.
The only goalless game was not short of excitement, as Bromley drew at home with Spennymoor Town to force a replay.
Bromley’s Louis Dennis had a low strike cleared off the line on 16 minutes by defender James Curtis, before George Porter brushed the crossbar from 20 yards out.
Curtis was heroic for Spennymoor, bravely going in for a goal-saving challenge on Dennis on 37 minutes.
The visitors had their share of chances, with Brandon Hanlon’s header on 83 minutes giving Bromley their best scoring opportunity of the match but an outstanding performance from Spennymoor stopper Dan Lawson ensured they clung on to force a replay.
