Which non-league clubs will face each other in the FA Vase second round proper? Full draw

The FA Vase second round proper draw is in, with 64 ties confirmed as Non-League clubs continue their push towards Wembley.

The draw was made on Monday as Lye Town and Boldon Community Association were among the clubs involved after celebrating first-round victories over the weekend.

The Flyers survived a late scare to beat Anstey Town 2-1 after dominating the first half, with Danny Cartwright and Elliott Ball on target before Szym Donnerstag’s late consolation set up a nervy finish.

Boldon CA also booked their place in the next round, as James Fairley’s stunning 25th-minute free-kick settled a hard-fought local derby against Jarrow.

The full draw is available below. And here’s everything you need to know ahead of the next round.
