Carl Heggs scrambled the ball home for the only goal after 84 minutes

King's Lynn left it very late to make progress in the FA Trophy at the weekend but there are far more pressing issues coming up this week.

Lynn have a big tax bill to settle over the next few days and their cause has not been helped by the sudden resignation of the financial director.

If the debt is not cleared then the club are likely to face a High Court winding up order.

There have been words of hope from Michael Chinn, one of Lynn's directors, who is working hard to come up with a timely resolution.

Many people will be hanging on to those words of hope but this is very worrying time for the club.

All of which detracts from Lynn's exploits on the pitch and an unbeaten run that now stretches to nine games.

The Linnets struggled to break down Salford City but experienced player-manager Carl Heggs came off the bench to get the all important goal on 84 minutes.

It was good to see Wroxham safely navigate their FA Vase second round replay at Halstead.

After being held to a goalless draw at Trafford Park on Tuesday, Steve Spriggs got a couple as The Yachtsmen won 3-1 and will now be away to Flackwell Heath in the third round.

Finally, many congratulations to both Mattishall and Spixworth United for their exploits in the Norfolk Senior Cup.

The Anglian Combination sides punched above their weight to beat Diss Town and King's Lynn reserves respectively.

It means there will be a new name on the trophy this season with Lynn Reserves having beaten Wroxham in the final at Carrow Road earlier this year.

The draw for the Quarter Finals will be made live on Local Report this Friday.
