Nostell Miners Welfare booked their place in the Preliminary Round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 home win over Winsford United on Tuesday.
Having snatched a replay with a last minute equaliser on Saturday, the KoolSport NCEL Premier Division side took full advantage to set up a clash at Warrington Town at the end of the month.
Neil Beardsmore and Paul Bedford had them two-up by the break before Oli Johnson ended the tie as a contest on 59 minutes.

That was after Matthew Jackson had given Welfare the lead on 19 minutes.

James Bonarius had put Taddy ahead with a 54th-minute penalty before Craig Conway levelled in injury time.
And, the visitors went on to win the shoot-out 4-3.
Teversal forced extra time with a last minute penalty from Jack Townroe after Kieran Thacker's own goal had given their visitors Worsbrough Bridge Athletic an early lead.
But, it was the away side who had the better of the further half-hour with Luke Forgione's spot kick and Ryan Poskitt putting the game beyond Teversal although Marc Rathbone pulled one back for the hosts late on.
It was also a 3-2 extra-time win for Rainworth Miners Welfare at Staveley Miners Welfare.
Robbie Clarke got the vital goal after 106 minutes, his second of the evening, after Ryan Damms had levelled for Staveley on 80 minutes.
