Hollywood starlets, Wrexham, will Yeovil Town who are top of the National League South while former cup winners Bolton take on Harrogate Town and Wigan Athletic travel to either Chester of York City.

Oxford City are the highest ranked team in the competition at this stage and will take on Slough Town or Grimsby Town in the next round.

Second round surprise

Ramsgate have already had a crazy run this year’s FA Cup, coming through qualifying beating Chatham Town, Cray Wanders, Totton and now Woking in the first round proper to reach the second round of the FA Cup.

They last reached the first-round proper back in 2005 but have never got as far as this in the tournament.

Ramsgate are a small seaside football team from Kent and a home tie in the second round would sell out the 2,500-capacity Southwood Stadium.

A favourable tie could also see Ramsgate possibly go up against Premier League opposition if they successfully get to the third round.
