Harrogate Town meet Bradford Park Avenue for the right to host either Leamington or Gainsborough, who meet tomorrow night in a replay.

Scarborough Athletic, back in the resort town this term after a decade away, are also in replay action on Tuesday at Stratford Town with Hyde awaiting the winners in the next round.

Ossett Town and Northwich, who shared four goals in a thrilling tie at the weekend, also meet tomorrow for the right to travel to Solihull Moors.

South Shields, conquerors of York City last Saturday, will host Hartlepool United in what is arguably the pick of the ties in the northern section of the draw. The clash between former Football League members, Dagenham & Redbridge and Leyton Orient, is one of the highlights in the southern half along with Aldershot’s home tie with Torquay United.

The ties will be played on the weekend of October 14 and 15.
