Nineteen non league sides caused FA Cup upsets whilst playing out their Preliminary Round matches over the weekend.
A total of 136 teams, from Level 7 and Level 8 of English football, entered at this stage of the competition along with the 184 winners from the Extra Preliminary Round.
This round contained 25 teams from Level 10; the lowest ranked teams in the competition and a lucky few managed to grab a place in the First Qualifying Round draw on Monday.
One of those level 10 sides was AFC Varndeanians who knocked out level 9 club Guildford City 2-1 away from home and in their tweet below, certainly had a good journey back…

The other level 10 clubs to knocked out teams from a league or two above were Lichfield City (3-0 v Haughmond), March Town United (2-1 v Wellingborough), Sutton Athletic (6-0 v Ashford Town) and Hythe & Dibden (2-1 v Horndean).
Many level 9 clubs also knocked out clubs higher than than in the non league pyramid, Walthamstow can be seen applauded off after knocking out Great Wakering Rovers with a 2-0 win. (And the draw is Monday, not Tuesday as stated below)
FT: @walthamstowfc 2 v 0 @GWRovers
