York City's first round FA Cup date away to Enfield should hold no fear for the Minstermen.

So declared player-coach Neil Thompson, who, out of the current City squad, is the only player ever to have appeared against the Middlesex side.

Enfield were regular opponents of Scarborough when they featured Thompson during their GM Vauxhall Conference days.

Since then the London club have fallen from their former status as Conference powers to the premier division of the Ryman Football League, where they finished in mid-table last season.

Scarborough were handed a home tie against third division rivals Rochdale.

In other ties, third division Halifax have a money-spinning trip to second division big boys Manchester City while division two leaders Stoke face a potentially difficult trip to fellow second division side Reading.

Money bags Fulham look to have a simple task at home to Leigh RMI.
