Spalding United also face Thurlow Nunn Premier Division opposition, but they must travel to Brantham Athletic who have made a decent start to their league season.

Stamford AFC make the short trip to Lincoln United to tackle a fellow Northern League side, while Deeping Rangers have a long trek to Scunthorpe to take on Winterton Rangers.

Peterborough Sports enter the FA Cup at a later stage.

Clubs are currently five wins away from a place in the first round draw alongside Football League clubs from League One and League Two.

The winners of preliminary round ties collect £1,444 apiece with the losers receiving £481.
