This season?s FA Cup began today and as we know every season, it certainly produced an upset here and there, and unfortunately the Swans were involved in one.
Newly promoted Barnet faced a tough challenge at home to League One leaders, Southend. Freddie Eastwood got the only goal in the first minute, which was enough to send them through to the 2nd Round.
Paul Hayes also scored the only goal in the game between Barnsley and Darlington as another League 1 club progressed to the 2nd round.
The first upset to tell you about was AFC Bournemouth who were embarrassed on home soil at the hands of non-league side Tamworth. Ward put them ahead after half an hour before Stock grabbed an equaliser. 9 minutes from the end though, Storer scored the rebound from a missed penalty to produce a huge upset.
Gary Johnson?s Bristol City faced an early exit after a 2-0 home defeat against League 2 side, Notts County as Tann and Baudet scored the goals to put them through.
Another League 1 side suffered an early upset in the cup. Gillingham conceded a goal against Unibond Premier side Burscough after just 10 minutes but they managed to fight back in the 2nd half. Jarvis and Saunders scored to put Gillingham ahead but 2 goals in the last 2 minutes produced a big upset. Cox put the ball in his own net before Rowan grabbed a surprising winner for the non-league side.
Scunthorpe could only manage a 2-2 draw at Bury so they?ll go back to Glanford Park for the replay.
Colchester equalled their record victory but it did take 39 minutes to open the scoring. Greg Halford scored from a free-kick before 8 more goals gave them a huge victory over Leamington, who beat Ossett Town 3-2 in the final qualifying round.

MK Dons failed to overcome Lincoln at Sincil Bank after a 1-1 draw. The home side took the lead after 29 minutes when Robinson scored with a diving header. Edds then grabbed an equaliser late in the first half after his long-range shot took a deflection.
Nottingham Forest could only manage a draw at home to Weymouth as Harris cancelled out Holt?s 39-minute opener.
