FOOTBALL: Tulips to visit Brigg in FA Cup, Tigers face Shirebrook trip
SPALDING United have been handed an away trip to UniBond Division One South rivals Brigg Town in the FA Cup, while Holbeach United will be travelling to Mansfield.
The managerless Tulips - who will expect to see off a Brigg side that they finished 23 points above in the table - have also received a free pass to the First Round of the FA Trophy.
But Shaun Keeble's Tigers, who enter a round earlier than Spalding, will know little about their Nottinghamshire-based KoolSport Northern Counties East League Premier Division (step five) opponents Shirebrook Town.
Also entering at the Extra Preliminary Round stage are Bourne Town and Deeping Rangers.
Martyn Lakin's Wakes are also in Nottinghamshire at NCEL Division One (step six) side Teversal, and will meet Holbeach should both sides progress to the First Qualifying Round.
Meanwhile, Pat Rayment's new-look Deeping side meet Leicestershire Senior League outfit Friar Lane & Epworth at Outgang Road.
The draw for the FA Vase has also been made, with Deeping getting a bye to Round One.
