Everything you need to know ahead of FA Cup first-round draw as five clubs make history

Five non-league clubs made it into the FA Cup first round proper draw for the first time in their histories over the weekend.

AFC Rushden & Diamonds of the eighth tier defeated Morecambe 2-1 to secure their place in the next round. The phoenix club were formed in 2011 after the demise of Rushden & Diamonds FC, who reached the second round four times in their 19 years as a club.

The now fan-owned club will be ball number 61 in tonight’s draw after winning six games to reach this stage, the same number of wins a team entering at the third round would require to win the competition.

Another phoenix club, Salisbury FC, also made history as they won 3-0 against Eastbourne Borough. The National League South team were formed in 2015 after the liquidation of Salisbury City.

A trio of seventh-tier sides complete the list of clubs in the hat at this stage for the first time.

Berkhamsted defeated National League side Southend 2-1 at Roots Hall and Plymouth Parkway were 2-0 winners against fellow Southern League Premier Division South club Chertsey Town.

Finally, Sholing beat former Sunday League team SE Dons, who boast over 250,000 subscribers on YouTube.

League One Leicester City could face a fellow Leicestershire team in a competitive fixture for the first time since the 1903-04 season with county-rivals Harborough Town and Anstey Nomads in the draw. The latter host Macclesfield in a replay on Tuesday after drawing 1-1.

Tadley Calleva of Hampshire are the lowest-ranked side left in the draw. The ninth-tier club came from behind twice to draw 2-2 at Aldershot on Saturday.

The first round, in which League One and League Two sides enter the competition, will be played on the weekend of the 7 November with the draw taking place on Monday October 19 at approximately 6.35pm on TNT Sports 1 and the TNT Sports YouTube channel.
