Boreham Wood sit 11th in the National League table but the Hertfordshire-based side booked their place in the third round through Sunday’s 2-0 win at Joey Barton’s Bristol Rovers. Boreham Wood are now the lowest ranked team left in the competition and one of four non-league sides left in the pot for Monday evening’s third round draw which sees the introduction of all Premier League and Championship sides.

National League leaders Wrexham sealed their passage into the last 64 through Saturday’s 4-1 victory at home to Farnborough Town. Chesterfield, who are third in the National League, also won 2-0 at AFC Wimbledon whilst the National League’s ninth-placed side Dagenham & Redbridge held visiting Gillingham to a 1-1 draw. The Daggers face a replay at Gillingham on Tuesday evening.
