The original tie at Sincil Bank last Saturday ended goalless, but the Imps were expected to progress against the team 42 places below them in English Football pyramid. But Paul Vines’ hat- trick was enough to see the Colston Avenue club through to round three.
Carshalton are the lowest rank side definitely through to the third round and will face either Newport County or Worksop Town for a place in the last eight. Vines’ superb treble came in a maniac 18 minute spell either side of half-time to give the hosts a commanding 3-0 lead. Jake Sheridan’s late strike was mere consolation for Lincoln and their thoughts now turn to domestic issues and trying to avoid a second consecutive relegation.
Following Saturday’s latest postponement between Conference North side Hinckley United and cup favourites Luton Town, Wednesday’s second round tie ended in a stalemate meaning both sides will have to replay once more after three previous postponements. Hatters Goalkeeper Mark Tyler was by far the busier of the two and pulled off some excellent saves to preserve Luton’s cup quest. The replay will take place on Monday evening at Kenilworth Road. An extra game is something that Luton could potentially have done without as they now face a period of four games in just eight days.
