Witton, at Witton would do for me. Clearly a few you’d want to avoid though.

Last season, the four zones in the second qualifying round were consolidated into two in the third round (remember Shildon had to travel to Banbury after beating us). Based on that, you can add the following to the list:

Sutton Coldfield/Alfreton
Peterborough Sports
Grantham\St Ives
Kidderminster
Stourbridge
Hednesford
St Neots
Brackley/Nuneaton
Corby
Kettering
Mickleover
Kings Lynn
Telford
Coalville\Buxton

Thanks, I did recall this happening last year - Shildon to Banbury is horrific for this stage of the competition (although they wouldn't have minded, coming back with the win).

Bamber Bridge and Cleethorpes drew with each other, I doubt either team would have desperately wanted that outcome...
