The East Lincs Combination Division Three side hosted Division Two leaders in the second leg of their cup tie after drawing 2-2 away in the first leg.
Rasen raced into a two-goal lead as Kerim Djerbi struck after two minutes, and George Bennett added a second just three minutes later.

And two second-half goals without reply took Alford into the second round.
Town are without a fixture this weekend, but return on Saturday, November 2 with a tough trip to Horncastle in round two of the County Cup.
