The draw for the third qualifying round of the FA Cup has been made.

The Third Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup will see Whitby Town play Morpeth and Scarborough Athletic face a tie against Darlington if they can beat Farsley in tomorrow nights second qualify round replay.

Whitby saw off Prescot Cables in the 2nd Qualifying Round on Saturday after first half goals from Connor Simpson and Adam Gell helped the Seasiders to a 2-1 victory.

Whitby will now play Morpeth Town in the third round at the Towbar Express Stadium.

Scarborough drew 1-1 on Saturday away at Farsley Celtic. A disputed penalty decision just before half time gave Farsley the lead but Alex Brown levelled the score mid way through the second half.

Whoever wins tomorrow night's replay at the Flamingo Land Stadium will go on to play an away tie at Darlington in the 3rd qualifying round with games expected to be played on Saturday September 30th.

Winning clubs at this stage will not only reach the fourth round qualifying stage, but will also pick up £5625 from the competition's prize fund, while losing clubs will also collect £1875.
