Giant-killers Gateshead to face League Two leaders Walsall as FA Cup second round draw revealed | OneFootball

At least two National League sides are guaranteed a spot in the FA Cup third round after the second round draw took place on Monday night.

National League South side Slough Town - the lowest-ranked team left in the competition, 21st in the sixth tier - will host National League North Macclesfield, while South side Chelmsford City will be at home to Weston-super-Mare.

The winners of the final first round proper tie, National League Tamworth versus League One Leyton Orient, will be away at Salford City in the last round before the Premier League and Championship teams enter the fray.

In total 11 non-league sides, including five sixth-tier teams, progressed to the second round, with Tamworth potentially set to join them after the conclusion of Monday’s fixture.

Boreham Wood, who dumped League Two’s Crawley out, will be at home to another League Two side, Newport County, who sit just three places above them in prime ‘cupset’ territory.

League One’s Wigan Athletic, who made a narrow escape on penalties against National League South team Hemel Hempstead, are at home to fourth-tier Barrow. Brackley Town, who edged past Notts County on penalties, will host Burton Albion.

The draw took place at The Lamb Ground, home of minnows Tamworth, before their game against Leyton Orient. The second round ties will be played from 5-8 December.
