Guiseley booked their place in the last 16 of the FA Trophy on Saturday with a 2-1 win over a spirited Dulwich Hamlet side at Champion Hill.
The Lions – playing their first game since the 1-1 draw at Grimsby Town a fortnight ago – began brightly and led after 16 minutes courtesy of James Hurst’s first goal for the club.

That lead was doubled inside half an hour when Anthony Dudley scored for the first time since returning to the club on loan – the young forward benefiting from a deflection to beat the hosts’ goalkeeper.
Mitchell Nelson reduced the arrears before half-time but the Lions held firm amid late pressure to ensure progression and book their place in Monday’s draw.
