Nantwich Town moved one step closer to the FA Cup First Round proper with a fine victory over Trafford FC.
Two goals from Alex Panter and a third from Paddy Kennedy were enough to secure a 3-1 win at the Swansway Stadium.
Panter was a very early substitute for the Dabbers coming on in the fourth minute for the injured Fenton Green.
And just six minutes later, Panter opened the scoring when he smashed in from close range after good work by Roxburgh.
But the visitors hit back on 20 minutes when a powerful shot by Davies was pushed into the path of Bradshaw who tucked away the equaliser.
Panter almost restored the Nantwich lead three minutes later but was denied from close range by Booth in the Trafford goal.
Byron Moore cracked a fine effort off the post on 38 minutes but soon after Nantwich were back in front.
A corner was cleared but Nantwich recycled it well and a cross was headed home by Kennedy to make it 2-1.
After the break, both teams traded attacks before the Dabbers sealed victory on 58 minutes.
Panter was left free to smash a shot high into the net for a 3-1 lead.
The visitors huffed and puffed in a bid to get back into the game, but Nantwich defended well for the remainder of the match.
The Dabbers will discover on Monday who they face in the third qualifying round, with ties due to be played on September 27.
Nantwich are now just two wins away from the First Round Proper.
