Neil Aspin, the former manager of FC Halifax Town, could be in line for a swift reunion with Gateshead

The Shaymen have been drawn against Aspin’s Gateshead side, but will have to defeat Chester in Wednesday’s rearranged third-round tie.

That game was postponed on Saturday due to the rain. It was originally rescheduled for Tuesday, but has been put back further to give the Shay’s pitch time to recover and have a greater chance of being able to host the match.

Guiseley have been handed an away trip to either Nantwich Town or Stourbridge FC in the fourth round.

However, Tuesday night’s scheduled replay against Dover has been postponed until next Tuesday due to a waterlogged pitch.

The Lions came within minutes of progressing on Saturday. They led going into the added-time but conceded a goal to Dover’s Duane Ofori-Acheampong from a corner kick. It proved to be the last chance of the game.
