FC Halifax Town could face Bradford in a tasty local derby in the first round of the FA Cup after the draw was completed at St George's Park on Monday evening.

The Conference side face a replay with Chorley, with the potential reward a home tie against the League One side, who are managed by Chorley-born Phil Parkinson.

The lowest-ranked side left in the competition - Northern Division One team Shildon - will welcome local club Gateshead if they get the better of Norton United in a replay.

Warrington Town, managed by Peter Reid's brother Shaun, will play host to Exeter, while another non-league side, AFC Fylde, must make a 640-mile round trip to Plymouth.

Other notable match-ups include Maidstone going to Stevenage for their maiden first-round tie since reforming in 1992 and 1987 winners Coventry welcoming Worcester to the Ricoh Arena.
