IT will be an all-National League North affair when Chester continue their road to Wembley next month.

For the second stage in a row, the Blues will be on their travels when they come up against Spennymoor Town in the third qualifying round on October 3.

Two goals from Ruben Butt ensured Phil Parkinson's Chester gained a 2-1 win at Lower Breck in the last round, while Spennymoor were 4-0 victors at Emley.

Macclesfield, managed by former Wrexham and Chester player John Rooney, can also look forward to an all-National League North clash. They will play host to Scarborough Athletic.

Bury, managed by former Chester boss Anthony Johnson and with ex-Wrexham youngster Kai Evans in the ranks, will welcome Bromsgrove Sporting and AFC Telford United, with former Wrexham chief Kevin Wilkin at the helm, will host FC United of Manchester if they make it through. Telford go to Worksop in tomorrow's replay, following Saturday's 2-2 draw.

Merthyr Town will host either Cirencester Town or Farnham Town if they win tomorrow's replay at Truro.
