Seventh-tier Wimborne Town have been handed a glamour home tie in the second round of the FA Cup, with League One side Bradford City coming to town. Former champions Leicester City, meanwhile, face a trip to National League South outfit Dover Athletic.
The pairings offer the lower-league clubs a chance to test themselves against professional opposition and a considerable payday from the competition’s biggest days out.
Wimborne host Bradford
Wimborne Town, operating at the seventh level of English football, will welcome Bradford City from League One. For a club of Wimborne’s standing, the visit of a professional side represents one of the most significant occasions in their recent history.
Leicester travel to Dover
Leicester City, who have lifted the famous trophy in the past, will head to the south coast to face Dover Athletic of the National League South. It is a tricky assignment for the Premier League-level visitors, who will be wary of the threat posed by a well-organised non-league team on home soil.
