    Thanks to Tamworth's heroics last night we are now guaranteed at least five non-league clubs in Sunday night's draw for the second round of the FA Cup.

    With Brackley hosting Braintree, Gainsborough Trinity heading to now managerless Hednesford Town, Solihull Moors at home to Maidstone United and Tonbridge Angels facing debutants Harborough Town, non-league will be well represented no matter what happens elsewhere this weekend.

    But who will write the big headlines this afternoon?

    Still without a League One victory this season, Burton will hope to avoid further embarrassment at home to Scarborough Athletic of the National League North while Crawley, on the back of seven defeats from their past eight League One games, go to Maidenhead United.

    Morecambe are propping-up the EFL and can hardly be relishing a game on National South Worthing's artificial surface.

    Nathan Jones takes his Charlton side to Southend United where the Addicks' boss is still held in high regard from his playing days at Roots Hall.

    Rushall Olympic might be second from bottom of the National North but Accrington Stanley will travel to the West Midlands on high alert.

    Aldershot Town put seven goals past Swindon in round one last season and then won at Stockport so Bradford City will be wary of their visit to Valley Parade.

    South-west and family honour is at stake with Bristol Rovers meeting Weston-Super-Mare and Luke Thomas of Rovers coming up against his brother Keiran.

    Cambridge United may have found some League One form just in time but famous FA Cup giantkillers Woking will want to add the U's to their list of impressive scalps.

    Elsewhere, keep an eye on National League leaders York City's trip to League One form horses Wycombe Wanderers and then on Saturday teatime there's the derby between Northampton Town and Kettering.

    That's just some of the ties today but you can see a full list of the FA Cup fixtures and pick out your favourites here.

    Tamworth stun Huddersfield Town to reach FA Cup second round

    Non-league part-timers Tamworth caused an almighty FA Cup upset to dump League One promotion hopefuls Huddersfield Town out in the first round last night.

    National League Tamworth, who are 57 places below the Terriers in the English football pyramid, earned a famous cup win when a trademark long throw-in from Tom Tonks sailed into the net via the gloves of under-pressure keeper Chris Maxwell on 44 minutes.

    Good afternoon and welcome to the best week of the year for fireworks and frights... oh, and it also features Halloween and Bonfire Night too.

    For many of us, the FA Cup first round is the most romantic date in the English football calendar as the teams from the third and fourth tiers of the EFL lock horns with the cream of non-league football.

    Back in the hazy days of summer, fans of 745 clubs began the season with dreams of FA Cup glory at Wembley next May.

    November is here and that number is already down to 122 - by Monday night it will be 84, with 44 of those the Premier League and Championship sides entering in the third round in January.

    Eight former winners of the world's oldest cup competition start their campaign at this stage, and one of them is already out.

    Huddersfield were the first giants slain on the Road to Wembley last night as Tamworth, 16th in the National League, stunned the League One high-fliers with a 1-0 win at the Lamb Ground.

    Notts County, winners in 1894, did manage to ease through, despite an early scare against National League North neighbours Alfreton last night.

    Let's see which path the other former winners - Bolton, Blackpool, Barnsley, Charlton, Bradford and Wigan - will follow.

    Strap in, this could be an extraordinary afternoon...
