Sunday football round-up: CSKA’s Allen fires four in goal-den tie against South Holland

Also progressing are AFC Moulton Seas End, who defeated hosts Nations United 3-1.

The final side through are Fishtoft Sunday, who beat hosts Jubilee 2-1 thanks to strikes from Ben and Ollie Walker. Laurence Price replied for Jubilee.
