FA CUP DRAW: Peterborough United to face last season's giant-killers, possible trip to League Two club for Stamford
Chesham play in the Southern Premier League, the same division as St Ives and St Neots. They are currently 12th, 94 places below Posh in the Football League pyramid, but did knock Bristol Rovers out of the FA Cup last season before bowing out 4-0 at League One Bradford City.
The win against Rovers, who went on to win promotion from League Two, earned Chesham the ‘FA Cup Giant-killers award’ last season. There were 75 places between the teams at the time.
