The Gingerbreads Louis Bland "Whenever you get a Cup draw, the one you want is at home and against a team lower in the pyramid than you. That's what we have but we're under no illusion that it will be a tough test. They have players who can compete at our level, ones that have been at this level and young exciting players."
In the previous round Newark & Sherwood played AFC Rushden & Diamonds, two goals from Keiran Cummines either side of half time gave the home side the win
"We know that if they beat us, it will be the first time they've reached that far in the competition. Our job is to be focused and to get into the Second Qualifying Round for the first time in 4 years"
