Scarborough Athletic will be hoping to take a leaf out of Tamworth's book and take a League One scalp of their own, in Staffordshire, on Saturday.

It's Scarborough Athletic's big day as they go to League One Burton Albion in the First Round Proper of the FA Cup.

We're live, on DAB only, from the Pirelli Stadium just before 3pm.
