The win also moved Mansfield into the top three automatic promotion places.

First round winners will pick up £40,000 from the competition's prize fund.

It has been a great weekend for Stags fan who also learned they will get the chance to once again watch games from the club's iconic North Stand – their spiritual home before it was given exclusively to away fans – on a trial basis.
