Notts County to face National League North side in the next round of the FA Trophy

Notts County have been drawn against Chorley in the third round of the FA Trophy.

The Magpies were ball number five in Tuesday afternoon's draw and were drawn at home for the fixture against Andy Preece's side.

Ties for the third round of the competition will take place on Saturday, December 17, sandwiched in between two home games in the National League against Gateshead and Barnet.

Notts were dumped out of the competition at the quarter-final stage last season, with Wrexham coming from behind to win 2-1 after Connell Rawlinson had opened the scoring at Meadow Lane.

The north section of the draw produced only one all-National League encounter, with Scunthorpe United drawn against Wrexham while Chesterfield face Coalville Town, the team that knocked out the Magpies in their FA Cup fourth round qualifying match.

It will be the first time since 2019 that Notts and Chorley have faced each other, with their most recent encounter coming in the fifth tier with Wes Thomas, Nathan Tyson, Enzio Boldewijn and Kristian Dennis on target for Notts that day.

Here is the North side of the draw in full:
