Pitmen out after home loss to Alfreton
Hednesford Town's FA Cup hopes ended after a hat-trick from Alfreton's Jordan Robertson saw the away side through 4-2.
In a six-goal thriller the Pitmen played with 10 men for well over an hour.
Hednesford scored in the 13th minute when Ahmed Obeng cut inside and fired a low shot into the bottom corner.
But, six minutes later, Ryan Wilson's header was fired home inside the six-yard box by Robertson.
Two minutes after that, Hednesford goalkeeper Dave Parton misjudged a long ball and Dan Bradley slid home into an empty net.
Then in the 27th minute as Bradley broke clear and was brought down by Parton, who was dismissed.
Substitute goalkeeper Lloyd Ransome came on for striker Nathan Modest, but couldn't keep out Robertson's penalty.
Alfreton sealed it in the 62nd minute through Robertson, although Adam Thomas later won a penalty for the Pitmen and John Disney netted the rebound after his spot-kick was saved.
