Just 48 hours after knocking Isthmian North side Bowers & Pitsea out of the FA Cup, Woods gave a debut to Sam Sollosi and took a 19th-minute lead through Jaedon Phillips.

The visitors levelled soon after, but Luke Steele restored Woodford’s lead on the half-hour mark and Yemi Adelani made it 3-1 on 39 minutes.

Adelani struck again just before half-time, but Park View hit back after the restart.

And it remained that way until six minutes from time when Jack Hilaire netted a fifth for the hosts, with Adelani completing his hat-trick in stoppage time to seal a 6-2 victory. 

Woods will host Enfield Borough in the next round on September 23, but return to Essex Senior League action on Monday with a trip to Buckhurst Hill.

Boss Shane Baptiste posted: “Excellent win, made 14 changes tonight & very impressed with performances. Time to recover & prepare for a huge game on Monday.

“Massive thanks to our fans tonight @woodfordtownfc.”

May & Baker were also celebrating after a 3-1 win over Hoddesdon Town in Thurlow Nunn League Division One South.

Having announced the signings of Eligijus Dapkus and Trevor Harding earlier in the day – and included both in their starting line-up – they fell behind at Aveley’s Parkside Stadium after just nine minutes.

The visitors had chances to widen the gap before the break, but Liam Nugent was kept busy in the Hoddesdon goal as well during an entertaining 45 minutes and rescued by the woodwork on two occasions.

Nugent he was finally beaten by a Remi Awosanya equaliser on 70 minutes, though, and Daniel Barth put Bakers 2-1 up before a Gabriel Odili penalty sealed the points for Jimmy Donald’s side.

“Delighted with the win,” Donald posted.

“We were good value for it. 7 shots on target in the 1st half and hitting the post twice, quite unlucky to be behind at the break, but we showed real character and determination to continue playing the way we want.

“Really pleased with the 2 debuts in Eli & Trev, players that bring quality we want to enable the way we want to play.”

The FA Vase action continues on Saturday as Ilford host Hackney Wick at Cricklefields, while Barking head to Potton United and Newbury Forest visit Harlow Town.

Tower Hamlets travel to Snodland Town, while Clapton are also on the road at Sheerwater.

Meanwhile, Clapton Community welcome Dunmow Town to the Old Spotted Dog in the Thurlow Nunn League, while Hutton head to Wormley Rovers.
