T&A League side Fairbank took the plaudits when they came away from former cup winners South Bradford with an outstanding 5-1 victory in the Bradford & District FA Senior Cup.
The visitors went in front on 15 minutes with a well-taken goal from Nassar Hussain. Two minutes before the interval, they struck again when a length of the field move was finished off with a 20-yarder from Bilal Saleem.
Fairbank maintained their dominance in the second half against opponents from the West Riding County Amateur League, who just missed out on promotion to the top flight last season.
Farooq Mia, Mohammed Jamil and Mohammed Ismaeel added further goals before T Oddy pulled a consolation goal back in the dying stages.
A dour all-T&A League clash saw Lidget Green edge out East Bowling with a strike from Iklaq Hamed after 65 minutes to earn a trip to County Amateur opponents Dudley Hill Rangers.
Bradford All Stars enjoyed a convincing 5-0 victory over Sporting Athletic, while four goals each from Danny Harris and Liam Charles helped Bradford Arms hit double figures against Ventnor Youth in a 10-1 thrashing.
A terrific hat-trick from Chris Humphries gave West Bowling a comfortable passage into the next round in a 4-1 triumph over Abundant Life. Sazad Ashrak had scored earlier for hosts Bowling before Les Oliver replied for the visitors.
D Firth notched a triple for Crag Road United as they romped to a 10-4 success at Thornbury YCC.
