Macclesfield winning away at East Thurrock is about the only shock of the round.

A quick scan of the results showed about seven or eight wins for teams in a lower division than their opponents. Hardly a lack of surprise results.

Didn't know you were just talking about the non league v league matches. In that respect you are absolutely right.

It's the rarity of shocks that makes the cup wonderful.

If there were loads of lower league clubs beating bigger opposition then it would take away some of the magic of Alty's proud history.
