The Staffordshire outfit knocked us out of the FA Cup at the same stage three years ago. We lost a midweek replay 2 – 1 after playing out a 2 – 2 draw at the War Memorial Athletic Ground the previous Friday night.

They were relegated from the NPL Division One West at the end of last season after finishing 21st and are now competing in the Midland Football League Premier Division. They have made a brighter start to the new campaign and have won two ties to reach this stage of the competition. They enjoyed a good 3 – 1 win at home to Lichfield City at the start of the month in the Extra Preliminary Round and then followed that up with a 5 – 2 victory away to Belper United last Saturday in the Preliminary Round.

The ground address is Abbey Lane, Bucknall, Stoke-on-Trent ST2 8AJ.
