Silsden 1, Harrogate Town 4
The Cobbydalers took the lead in their West Riding County Cup tie against Blue Square North visitors Harrogate Town but the higher-ranking side booked their place in the last eight.
Graham Holmes dug a cross from Martin Packer out of his feet to open the scoring in the 13th minute. Harrogate turned the tie with a hat-trick from Danny Holland.
The striker grabbed his first in the 17th minute, he then netted a free kick in the 72nd minute and completed his treble with a simple side-foot after poor defending by the home side three minutes later.
Three minutes from time, Gary Wittington scored Town's fourth with a half-volley.
"It was nowhere near a 4-1 rout. The scoreline is very harsh on our lads," said Cobbydalers boss Paul Schofield.
"Harrogate are a very, very good side and they had a lot of experience in the squad so they took it seriously. We did okay for three quarters of the game, but that isn't good enough so we are out of the cup."
