The Mariners will also face Yorkshire opposition this term after being handed a trip to Harrogate Town, while North Ferriby United must travel to the winners of the replay between Chastown and Stalybridge Celtic.

Bradford Park Avenue face a replay against Salford City on Wednesday night after drawing 1-1 on Saturday at the home of the club bankrolled by a host of former Manchester United stars, the winners being at home to Conference strugglers Southport.
