Fifteen non league sides caused FA Cup upsets whilst playing out their Second Qualifying Round matches over the weekend.
A total of 160 teams took part in this stage of the competition, including the 116 winners from the First Qualifying Round and 44 entering at this stage from the two leagues at Level 6 of English football. The latest round included fourteen teams from Level 9, the lowest-ranked teams still in the competition.
There were two clubs from Level 9 that beat teams from a league higher than themselves, they were Hadley (who beat Ramsgate 1-0) and Tavistock (came away 4-0 winners against Highworth Town).

Unbelievable scenes as local football team @OfficialTmufc defy the odds to get through to the next round of the FA Cup! Not only did they beat a team 2 divisions higher, but they did it playing with 10 men for most of the second half! Congrats to the players & staff! #Tooting pic.twitter.com/xbFXajk5RW
