Fifteen corners in the first half-hour only brought frustration as Reepham dominated the game but failed to score.
There was some attractive passing and Andy Gooch and Rodney Drake were controlling the midfield. However, it was not until just before half-time that the breakthrough came when Kevin White tapped into an empty net from close range.
In the second period, Reepham went on the rampage and on an increasingly uneven surface, two goals from Leon Huckle and another from White saw the visitors easing into the next round.
On the hour the Robins' management made three substitutions and shortly after these changes Reepham had four players booked. The game, was played in a good spirit and had not seen a bad tackle.
Swaffham grasped the opportunity and grabbed two goals back through Ben Durrant and Reece Tuck.
