FA Trophy First Round Proper

Evo-Stik Northern Premier League's clubs flying the flag in the FA Trophy found out who their next opponents would be on Monday after the draw for the competition's First Round Proper was made at Wembley Stadium.

Nine Evo-Stik NPL clubs went into the hat with the ties taking place over the weekend of Saturday 24 November. Five of the seven clubs who've already qualified have been handed difficult away ties after a weekend of giant-killing that saw a number of Evo-Stik NPL clubs knock out Football Conference opposition.

The only outstanding tie to be resolved sees Worksop Town host Chester City on Wednesday for the right to take on Evo-Stik NPL First Division South King's Lynn Town after the sides drew 2-2 at the Deva Stadium on Saturday.

Winning clubs from the round's 32 fixtures pick up £5000 in prize money from the Football Association.

The draw involving Evo-Stik NPL clubs is below. For the full draw visit the FA's website - TheFA.com.
