The Perth Green outfit have progressed into the First Round of the competition for the first time in their history after impressive wins against Birtley Town and Newton Aycliffe.

They will now host the Cheshire outfit on Saturday 12th October with the aim of continuing a run that Bell has described as "an amazing experience".

He told The Gazette: "We are pleased that it's a home tie obviously - and it's good to face someone from outside of the Northern League.

"Whickham put us out last year and we have beaten Birtley Town and Newton Aycliffe so far this season.

"It's all new to us, but it's an amazing experience for us. It's something totally different to what we have been used to as a club.

"We will do our homework, as I am sure they will do on us, and we will give it a good shot against what seems a very good side."
