Heybridge Swifts will face National League North opposition in the second round of the FA Trophy after being drawn at home.

Swifts will play host to Hereford FC on Saturday, 19 November.

Hereford were founded in 2014 as a phoenix club for Hereford United and inherited their famous Edgar Street stadium, which was home to one of the biggest cup shocks of all time when United beat newcastle United.

But Swifts won't get the chance to play there is there's a draw, as all matches go to penalties and are decided at the first time of asking.

It's the second time Swifts have faced Step Two opposition this season, losing out after two matches to Braintree Town in the FA Cup.
