The Southern League Division One South & West side beat the Conference Premier outfit 2-1 on Tuesday.

Daventry Town, also in the eighth tier, have been drawn away at Chesterfield.

There will be a Lincolnshire derby as Conference Premier side Grimsby host Scunthorpe United, of League Two, in the ties played on 9 and 10 November.

AFC Wimbledon, the phoenix club set up by supporters after the demise of 1988 FA Cup winners Wimbledon, will welcome Coventry City, the side that lifted the famous trophy a year previously.

Conference South side Bishop's Stortford will welcome Aidy Boothroyd's League Two strugglers Northampton Town, while their league rivals Staines Town travel to near neighbours Brentford, where Swans manager Marcus Gayle started his career.

And fellow non-league clubs Gloucester and St Albans City host Football League opposition in the form of Fleetwood and Mansfield respectively.

League One leaders Leyton Orient, the highest ranked side to come in at the first-round stage, have a home tie against Conference Premier Southport.
