The Bloaters go into today's draw along with Wroxham, who beat Mulbarton Wanderers 3-0 and Kirkley & Pakefield, who won 2-0 at Gorleston.
Swaffham will try again after a 0-0 draw at Framlingham – the replay is at Shoemakers Lane tomorrow (7.45pm).
Yarmouth went into their game on the back of two disappointing performances in the league, with the Bloaters management duo of Martyn Sinclair and Adam Mason challenging the players to produce a much more committed display against Thetford Town.
Sean Perfect headed against the bar early on, but the visitors went ahead through Valter Rocha – back at Thetford after a short spell with King's Lynn Town. Yarmouth responded, though, with two goals in the final two minutes of the half. Perfect fired in the equaliser before Kieran Hagan drifted in from the right and past two defenders before chipping the goalkeeper. In the first minute of the second half Hagan made it 3-1 to secure Yarmouth's progress.

Mason said: 'After the Ely performance we saw some good character from our players all week. The performance and reaction are as pleasing as being in the hat for the next round.'
Wroxham took the lead just before half-time against Mulbarton, thanks to Cruse Nydazayo. Mac Gee added a second before Jordan Bond made it 3-0 with a penalty.
