The draw was confirmed today (Monday) with Diamonds being handed a clash against Pitching In Southern League Premier Central rivals Peterborough Sports.

Diamonds were given a bye into the first round after Ilkeston Town forfeited their place in this season's competition.

Meanwhile, there was also local interest in the second round draw for the Buildbase FA Vase.

United Counties League Division One club Burton Park Wanderers have reached this stage of the competition for the first time in their history after a dramatic penalty shoot-out success over Sileby Rangers at the weekend.

Wanderers will now travel to either Norwich United or White Enisign in the next round while Wellingborough Town, who beat Haverhill Rovers 2-0 at the weekend, will be at home in the second round against Woodbridge Town.

The dates of the next rounds of both competitions are yet to be confirmed as the non-League game now looks set for a month-long pause due to the new Covid-19 lockdown, which begins on Thursday.
