Maidstone United fired nine goals away from home for the second round in succession after drubbing ten-man Banstead Athletic in the FA Cup First Qualifying Round on Saturday.

The Stones - who won 9-0 at Corinthian in the previous round - were 4-1 up before the hosts - who play one level below the Stones in the football pyramid - had their keeper sent-off before half-time.

Baff Addae and Shaun Welford each grabbed a hat-trick with Alex Flisher, James Pinnock and Alex Waugh also on target for the visitors, who didn't score in the final 25 minutes.

The winners in this round earn £3,000 prize money and a place in Monday lunchtime's draw. See KentOnline for draw details from Monday afternoon.

Cray Wanderers continued their fine form with a 3-0 win at Hastings United to progress to the next round.

Tommy Whitnell scored twice for the visitors - who have now won six in a row in all competitions - with Aaron Day netting the Wands' other goal.

Hythe Town brushed aside old Kent League rivals Erith & Belvedere 5-2 at Reachfields as they bid to repeat last season's heroic run to the First Round proper.

Laurence Harvey gave the hosts a third-minute lead and Brendon Cass made it 2-0 five minutes later, and despite the visitors pulling one back on 15 minutes, Lloyd Blackman added a third for Hythe on 22 minutes and Dave Cook (pictured) made it 4-1 in first half-stoppage time.

Blackman grabbed his second 15 minutes from time before a late Deres consolation.

Margate breezed past Tooting & Mitcham 3-0 at Hartsdown Park.

Kwesi Appiah was the hero with two goals, one from the spot, to take his tally to six for the season in all competitions.

Appiah opened the scoring with a 15th minute penalty but it wasn't until 15 minutes from time that he added the second and there was still time for Tom Bradbrook to head the third late-on.

Elsewhere Thamesmead Town overcame Shoreham 2-0 with Theo Fairweather-Johnson opening the scoring on six minutes and Rikki Cable sealed their passage to the Second Qualifying Round on 64 minutes.

Kent Hurlimann League Premier Division side Beckenham Town produced a fine display to upset Met Police of the Ryman League, Premier Division 4-2.

Adam Greenway scored a brace inside 10 minutes for Becks and despite Police pulling one back on the half-hour, Alfie Nunn made it 3-1 before the break.

Ben Slade added a fourth five minutes from time before the Met struck a consolation.

Erith Town shocked league rivals Herne Bay 3-2 at Winch's Field, inflicting Bay's first competitive defeat since January.

Bay began brightly and opened the lead through Darren Marsden but the visitors levelled on the hour through Chris Walker, who then turned the game on its head with a second 13 minutes from time.

Neil Perkins drew the hosts level three minutes later only for Walker to be fouled for an 85th-minute penalty and Liam Burgess to convert from the spot to send the Dockers through to the Second Qualifying Round for the fourth successive season.

Elsewhere Folkestone Invicta went down 3-0 at home to big-spending Whitehawk while Sittingbourne crashed out 1-0 at Bognor Regis Town, Chatham Town suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Worthing and Faversham Town fell to a 3-0 reverse at Carshalton.
