Although Boro's game at Long Eaton was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, the other two 3rd Round ties did go ahead.
Nostell MW progressed to the 4th round following their 3-2 victory over Dinnington Town.
The game of the night must have been the Armthorpe Welfare v Parkgate game which finished with 10 goals.
Welfare were 3 goals up after just 15 minutes, 2 of which were debatable penalty decisions, they will know how Boro felt when they played us just 3 days ago, enough said !
Anyway, all credit to Gate as they fought back and it took them just 3 minutes following Welfare's 3rd goal to pull 1 goal back, then in the 24th minute Gate's Craig Fletcher pulled another goal back.
However, Leo Fortune-West grabbed Welfare's 4th goal just 5 minutes later.
Sam Smith came close to grabbing Gate's 3rd but half time arrived with the score 4-2.
The 2nd half belonged to Parkgate, they scored their 3rd goal within 1 minute of the re-start, making the deficit just a single goal, then just before the hour mark Gate were level at 4-4.
Tom Roebuck put Gate into the lead for the first time when he saw the Welfare 'keeper off his line and fired a 40 yard shot high into the top corner of the net.
Then with just 5 minutes remaining Jamie Smith put Gate 6-4 up and that was the final score.
A great comeback from Parkgate and they now travel to Worksop Parramore in the 4th Round.
