The draw was made at Oaklands Park last night and shown live on BBC2 and it's fair to say City were delighted to be paired with one of two sides from football's third tier - five division above the Isthmian south east division they play in.

Those wishing Chi City well included fans of Bury FC, whose financial plight caused the spare place in the first round that gave Chi a bye into round two and who have been promised a donation from City's first round prize money.
