Downham opened the scoring in the opening minute after Daniel Foulsham scored at the second attempt.

But the Tangerines' were soon level when Danny McKail and Ben Deacon combined before Andy Moody forced the ball home.

Acle United reached the fourth round with a 3-1 third round replay win against Anglian Combination leaders Cromer Town, thanks largely to Ben Morgan's double. A Roy Bevis hat-trick ensured Sheringham joined them as they beat Blofield United 6-2.
