The Daniels have been drawn against City of Liverpool FC with the tie set for Saturday, October 28.

City of Liverpool are currently next-to-bottom of the Northern Premier West Division with just one win in seven matches.

That’s a level below Stamford who earned their place in the first round proper with a 3-2 success in the final qualifying round at fellow Southern League Premier Division Central side Hitchin.

In-form Jack Duffy scored twice – one from a spectacular overhead kick – and summer signing Trey Charles also netted after racing clear on goal.

Stamford, who are third, host mid-table Alvechurch in a league game at the Zeeco Stadium on Saturday (3pm).
