This season's Emirates FA Cup Final will take place on Saturday 23 May 2020

Ten-man Tooting & Mitcham United produced a huge upset to see off National League South’s Dorking Wanderers with a 1-0 win to edge into the Emirates FA Cup third round qualifying.

Dorking, who play two tiers above their hosts, were left shell-shocked after Danny Bassett fired the Terrors ahead five minutes into the second half.

Not even a one-man advantage could help the visitors as Sole Patterson-Bohn was sent off with 30 minutes to play sparking on-pitch celebrations from the players and rapturous applause from the home fans at the final whistle.

Meanwhile ninth-tier team Hadley produced another upset with a 1-0 win over Ramsgate.

The Bricks, who play in the Essex Senior League, had beaten Arlesey Town 3-2 to set up a date with Isthmian South East Division opponents Ramsgate.

And it was Tom Milton who was the hero on the day as his 14th-minute header proved to be the only goal of the game and ensured the Barnet-based team safe passage into the next round.

Elsewhere Oxford City enjoyed an emphatic 7-0 victory over North Leigh at Marsh Lane.

There were six different goalscorers and an own goal for the hosts as they made light work of their fellow Oxfordshire opponents.

Jack Self opened the scoring less than two minutes after kick off before an own goal, Ben Jefford and well-taken free kick by Josh Ashby made it 4-0.

Kyran Wiltshire and Jenson Wright added another each in the final ten minutes before Rhys King finished calmly two minutes into his debut from the bench to round off the afternoon in style.

There were also heavy victories for Welling United, who beat Chipstead 7-0, Buxton, who downed Corby Town 5-0 and Gateshead, who thrashed Ramsbottom United 6-0.

Dulwich Hamlet rocked Bognor Regis Town 6-1 at Champion Hill courtesy of a brace from Danny Mills and Nyren Clunis with Quade Taylor also on the scoresheet. 

And Tavistock produced another notable result against higher tier opponents with a 4-0 win over Highworth Town.

Meanwhile Cray Wanderers produced a Sunday blockbuster as they swept aside Soham Town Rangers 5-2 - Joseph Taylor scoring a hat-trick - and Chertsey Town saw off Biggleswade 3-1.
