Altrincham missed chances to claim the win, before Harriott secured the win by finding the top corner with a stunning finish late on.

Southern League team Chesham United were no match for Bradford City, whose progress never looked in doubt as Kyel Reid and James Hanson both scored before Gary Liddle and Devante Cole secured a 4-0 win in stoppage time.
