FA Cup second round draw: Non-league giants learn fate

Canvey Island, the lowest-ranked team remaining in the FA Cup, will face Boreham Wood in the second round. The eighth-tier side defeated Banbury United in the first round and will now host the National League outfit.

Fellow eighth-tier side Marine, who stunned League Two Colchester United with a penalty shoot-out victory, will welcome Havant & Waterlooville. Marine captain Niall Cummins welcomed the draw, saying: 'What's the point of running on a big pitch? Come to our pitch and a smaller ground.'

National League North's Chorley, who knocked out League One Wigan Athletic, face the competition's highest-ranked team in League One leaders Peterborough United. Striker Harry Cardwell admitted: 'I don't think we could have asked for a tougher draw.'
