DARLINGTON have been handed a tricky home draw in the second round of the FA Trophy.

Quakers will host National League North rivals Alfreton Town at Blackwell Meadows on Saturday, November 19.

The two clubs are separated by just one place in the current league table, with Darlington a point ahead of Alfreton, and are due to meet in the league a week tomorrow, with that game also being staged at Blackwell.

Spennymoor Town have also secured a home tie in the second round of the Trophy, with Runcorn Linnets due to visit the Brewery Field.

Runcorn Linnets beat Belper Town to reach the second round, and play their league football in Division One West of the Northern Premier League.

Marske United were first-round winners at Chasetown at the weekend, and their reward is a second-round tie at Matlock Town. Blyth Spartans have been drawn at home to Buxton.
