OXFORD City will begin their Emirates FA Cup campaign this season at home to lower league opposition.

Mark Jones's side reached the second round last season, but will have to wait until Wednesday to find out their opponents in the second qualifying round.

They will play the winners of the replay between Merstham, who played Oxford United in 2016, and Cray Valley PM.

Wantage Town have been handed a tough test later this month.

The Uhlsport Hellenic League side have won three games to reach this stage and will visit Vanarama National League South side Hungerford Town.

Didcot Town have also been handed an away trip to a Hitchin Town side who beat them in the BigFreeBet.com Southern League Challenge Cup final in April.

Banbury United have plenty of incentive to win tomorrow night’s replay at home to Weymouth.

Bath City, of the Vanarama National League South, will visit the winners.

The ties are due to be played on the weekend of Saturday, September 22.
