Which Non-League sides have reached the FA Cup second round proper? Full draw

The FA Cup second-round draw has been made with a handful of Non-League hopefuls discovering their potential routes into the third round.

The draw was made before Monday night’s meeting between Plymouth Parkway and Berkhamsted, following another memorable day of cup action on Sunday.

Wimborne Town stole the headlines by producing the biggest shock of the weekend, beating League Two basement side Crawley Town to reach the second round for the first time.

Kidderminster Harriers also made a statement, sweeping aside League One Doncaster Rovers 3-0, while Guiseley, AFC Fylde, Dover Athletic, Barrow, Carlisle United and Salford City were among the other Non-League sides to progress.

There was heartbreak for Stafford Rangers, who came within touching distance of a famous upset against Grimsby Town.

The Step 4 outfit led twice before eventually losing 3-2 on penalties after a enthralling 3-3 draw.

Cray Wanderers also pushed their EFL opponents all the way, taking a two-goal lead against ten men Stockport County before the League One high-flyers fought back to win 3-2 after extra time.

Eight Non-League teams in total secured their place in the next round at the weekend, with that number guaranteed to rise to nine after tonight’s all-Southern League Premier South clash.
