The Non-League Paper’s FA Trophy Team of the Day

He’s our pick of Saturday’s top performers.

bognor-regis_leyton-orient_130118_0004

Leyton Orient avoided a scare at the National League South’s Bognor Regis Town by eventually seeing the hosts off after extra time to make the last 16.
The same couldn’t be said for Chester, who crashed out at Bognor’s league rivals East Thurrock United.
Solihull Moors were another National League side to tumble out to lower league opposition. Spennymoor Town brushed them aside 2-0.
The Evo-Stik Premier’s Warrington Town were seconds away from beating Ebbsfleet United until Sean Shields spared their blushes in stoppage time.
Step 3 Marine pushed Dover Athletic all the way, eventually falling 4-3 in the tie of the round.
Bromley safely made it through by dispatching Blyth Spartans.
