Iyseden Christie scored a double hat-trick in Halesowen's 7-1 win at Ellistown & Ibstock, and his side now face a trip to Guiseley.

Blyth Spartans – who reached the Fifth Round Proper in 1978 before being knocked out by Wrexham in front of 42,000 people at St. James' Park – were drawn away to either Bedworth United or Mickleover Sports.

Formed in 1857, Sheffield are the world's oldest club and should they navigate their way past a replay with Warrington Town, will travel to Colwyn Bay in the next round.

Hendon – who 40 years ago held Newcastle to a 1-1 draw at St. James' Park – travel to Dorchester Town.

Billericay Town – who defeated Raynes Park Vale 2-1 in the Second Round Qualifying – will play another home tie, this time against Weymouth.

Another famous Cup underdog – Sutton United who beat top-flight Coventry in 1989, were pulled out of the hat alongside Burgess Hill Town.
