Hanley and Kidsgrove bowed out in the last round on Saturday.
Flackwell Heaths game was abandoned after 70 minutes owing to the collapse of their player Matthew Ayres, after lengthy medical treatment on the pitch, he was taken to hospital for several hours before finally being sent home.
Mousehole in Cornwall must be the smallest place to have a team to reach this round of the cup, let alone qualify for it.
Macclesfield v Buxton about 12 miles apart should be an interesting one.

3 more games to win to First Round Proper.
You have to think it is an incredible achievement for some of these teams to get that far.
Some crackers in that draw!

Leek through to the next round after an impressive win away at Worcester City
Tom Sparrow featured for Chester in their 3-1 win at 8th tier Tadcaster on BBC live coverage in an early kick off
Made a poor mistake for Tadcaster's goal, then was quite solid as the game went on and Chester dominated as expected.

Couple of tough away fixtures for those two.
I'd avoid a day out to Altrincham on the 14th, the town will be busy !

What I do find strange is the FA cup final is on Saturday 25th May with the Championship playoff final the next day Sunday 26th May
Quite apart from the potential travel issues ( no doubt train unions will add to that by going on strike that weekend ) what will happen if a Championship teams gets to both finals ( v unlikely , but not entirely impossible ) Monday 27th is a Bank Holiday so I suppose the PO final could be moved a day … or back to the previous weekend 18th/19th when league 1+2 have their finals - whilst fixtures remain very congested as a result of covid , the WC , champions league final 1/6 and the Euros ( starting 14/6 ) and a clash is unlikely , but why take such a risk when planning years in advance
Sadly Prescot Cables went out earlier

Barnet v Aveley
I was thinking of going to watch Barnet v Aveley on Tuesday night as England have sold out and it's a ground I haven't been to an I'm down south this week, looked at where their ground is and it's 2 stops past Wembley Stadium on the underground, will be mad around there, don't understand why they don't play it on Wednesday instead and maybe get more of a crowd in.

Sheppey Utd beat Billericay from a league above on penalties last night to make it to the first round proper for the first time ever. They did hold the record of being the team who have entered the FA Cup the most times without getting to the first round, but that has now been broken.
No idea who it is now.

Hypothetically, what would happen should a Championship club make the FA cup final? (not us, i know that).
Surely they'd have to change one of the days?
