Bridlington Town made sure they definitely progressed in the FA Cup, after a third meeting with Knaresborough, on Tuesday.
FA chiefs demanded a third meeting between the sides despite Brid beating Knaresborough 2-1 in last week's FA Cup replay.
The sides had initially drawn 0-0 to necessitate the replay.
However, during extra-time in the replay, the match referee had mistakenly advised Knaresborough they could not make further substitutions, when later it emerged they could.
So the sides met again at the Mounting Systems Stadium.
Ahmed Salam was on target midway through the first half with Michael Coulson's astonishing35-yard free-kick putting Brid 2-0 up at the break.
19 minutes from time, Coulson made it 3-0 with a diving header.
Knaresborough pulled one back before Jake Day made sure with a fourth, nine minutes from time.
If finished 4-1 and Brid will therefore go to West Auckland Town on Saturday in the FA Cup Preliminary Round with £1,444 on the line.
