Salford City will play Hartlepool United in the second round of the FA Cup.

Hartlepool were knocked out of the competition by Blyth Spartans last season, while Northern Premier League side Salford - who are owned by several former Manchester United players - beat Sky Bet League Two side Notts County in the first round of this year's tournament.

Northern Premier League Division One North outfit Northwich Victoria, the lowest-ranked team in the draw, will travel to Northampton if they win their replay against Conference National team Boreham Wood while Chesham's reward for beating Bristol Rovers is a trip to face the winners of the replay between Aldershot and Bradford City.

There will be some representation from outside of the Football League in the third round as Stourbridge play Eastleigh in what is the only certain all non-league tie.

Braintree can tee up a second one if they beat Oxford United; the winners of that match will be at home to National League leaders Forest Green Rovers.

Whitehawk will play the winners of the replay between Dagenham & Redbridge and Morecambe, while Brackley will travel to Barnet if they win their replay against Newport County.

If Maidenhead make it through their replay against Port Vale, they will travel to Exeter City and Altrincham make the trip to Colchester United.
