PILGRIMS AND GLOVERS THROUGH, BUT GRECIANS ARE OUT

Plymouth Argyle and Yeovil Town booked their places in the second round of the FA Cup with wins over AFC Fylde and Crawley Town respectively, but Exeter City bowed out to Warrington Town.

The Pilgrims saw off their Vanarama Conference North opponents thanks to headed efforts from Peter Hartley and Marvin Morgan, and the Glovers defeated their fellow League One outfit by a single goal courtesy of a strike from Jordy Hiwula.

Meanwhile, Exeter City did not enjoy such fortune as they were eliminated by Warrington Town, the lowest ranked team left in the competition.

Warrington skipper Craig Robinson, brother of MK Dons manager Karl, powered home a David Mannix corner after seven minutes, which proved to be decisive for the Cheshire side managed by Shaun Reid, the brother of former Plymouth Argyle manager, Peter Reid, as they held on to clinch victory.

The Grecians went close as David Noble hit the woodwork and Matt Grimes had a shot cleared off the line, but it was to no avail as they bowed out of the cup.
