1874 NORTHWICH, Northwich Victoria, Barnton and Winsford United now know their opponents in this season's FA Cup and FA Vase.
The highlights of the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round draw include a tough prospect for 1874 and Vics boss Steve Wilkes coming up against his former club.
1874 have been drawn to face Warrington Rylands – the team that finished second behind them in the curtailed 2019-20 North West Counties League Premier Division – in a home tie.
Vics will also be at home as they welcome Padiham, whom boss Wilkes managed in more than 500 games over two spells, to Wincham Park.
As per current coronavirus guidelines, matches will be played behind closed doors.
On the return of spectators in time for the first FA Cup fixtures, an FA statement read: "The FA is currently working closely with the Government on the return of spectators at football matches at FA National League System level.
"Unless the Government permits the return of spectators at football matches prior to the Extra Preliminary Round, matches in this round will be played behind closed doors, with no spectators in attendance.
"This position will be reviewed by The FA on an ongoing basis prior to each round of each Competition and updates will be provided as soon as possible."
