FA Cup Second Round Draw As Nine Non-League Clubs Discover Their Fate

The FA Cup second round draw has thrown up some intriguing ties as a clutch of non-league clubs continue their journey in the world’s oldest cup competition.

The lowest-ranked side left are seventh tier Wimborne Town, and their reward for stunning League Two Crawley in the first round is a visit from League One side Bradford City.

Two other sides from the seventh tier are also in with a shout of reaching the prestigious third round – when Premier League and Championship sides enter the competition: Guiseley will host Notts County whilst Plymouth Parkway will welcome Barnet.

Two of the other non-league sides left were drawn against each other with Barrow – conquerors of Gillingham – set to host Kidderminster Harriers, who dumped out third tier Doncaster Rovers in style.

Dover Athletic, of the National League South, will host 2021 FA Cup winners Leicester City in one of the ties of the round whilst AFC Fylde will welcome Luton Town.

Sixth tier Salisbury were drawn at home to League One Blackpool whilst Carlisle, of the National League, will fancy their chances of an upset away at York City.

The second round is scheduled to take place on the weekend starting Friday, December 4. Winners will receive £79,500 in prize money, with £21,200 for the losers.
