The Daniels will tackle League Two opponents in their first ever first round proper appearance on Sunday (November 6) on the back of three straight defeats following last night’s (October 31) 3-2 loss at Basford United in Division One South of the Evo Stik Northern Premier Division.

Stamford were 3-0 down before late goals from Taylor Rhiney and Grant Ryan, both struck in the final 13 minutes, put some respectability to the final scoreline.
