FA VASE ROUND UP - 03/10/09

James Fraser scored on his debut as Whitehawk cruised into the second round of the FA Vase.
The former Bristol Rovers professional, who had loan spells with Lewes and Bognor last season, only signed for the Hawks on Friday.
But he needed just 37 minutes to break his duck for the club with the opener in a 5-0 win at East Grinstead.
Midfielder Josh Jones chipped in with a double to make it six goals in five games, while Wes Tate and substitute Matt Geard added one apiece.
Joint boss Darren Freeman said: “The Vase is something we want to go far in and something we believe we can do well in.”
Former Lewes goalkeeper Stuart Robinson, who has been signed from Farnborough, also made his debut but was rarely troubled.
Eastbourne United fought back from 2-0 down to win 4-3 after extra time at home to Greenwich Borough.
Lucas Mann, Brad Manton with a terrific strike, Steve Morris and Carl Harris, with a 97th-minute winner, got the goals.
Peacehaven boss Peter Edwards, who once took the club to the quarter-finals, guided them into the second round with a 3-1 defeat of Chichester thanks to goals from Carl Dunk, Tom Levitt and Craig Bunch.
Edwards said: “I don’t think we have a quarter-final side at the moment but to get through is good experience for them.”
Scott Osborne enjoyed his first win as Crowborough boss with a 3-2 success at Ringmer thanks to strikes from Luke Leppard, Scott Treleaven and Chris Ransome.
Osborne said: “We have got the team spirit back and deserved to win the game. This is a 50-50 partnership between me and Jeff O’Brien. He is a brilliant coach.”
Dave Walker headed home an injury time Lewis Hamilton free-kick to give Arundel a 2-1 victory at Molesey.
Rob Grove gave Mullets the lead but Moles levelled from a disputed penalty. Walker capped a fine game at centre-half with the winner after Scott Tipper had earlier missed a penalty.
Arundel assistant boss Simon Butler said: “It wasn’t a football spectacle but we got the win.”
Shoreham joint-boss Mark Burt hopes to finish the job in a replay tomorrow after drawing 1-1 at Bedfont on Saturday.
He said: “They are not a bad side but I thought we were worth a win. We’re still in it and hopefully we can do the job tomorrow.”
Nick Fogden’s sweetly struck volley put Shoreham ahead but Bedfont levelled when a wicked bounce favoured their striker.
