YORK City will host Altrincham in the quarter-finals of the Isuzu FA Trophy.
City advanced past Southend United on Saturday with a 2-0 win, thanks to goals from Fraser Kerr and Lenell John-Lewis.
The Minstermen had been able to reach that stage thanks to previous wins against lower league opposition, after defeating Blyth Spartans with a 5-0 drilling and progressing past Chelmsford City with a penalty shootout triumph, after an initial 1-1 draw.
It will be the third match at the LNER Community Stadium for York in this year's FA Trophy.
Altrincham will be feeling confident themselves after some impressive wins in the competition.
A 1-0 win saw Altrincham progress past Curzon Ashton in December, before sneaking past Vanarama National League title-challengers Wrexham through a penalty shootout.
Goals from Tyrese Sinclair, Jordan Hulme and Junior Quitirna saw the Robins cruise past Bracknell Town in the last round.
The tie will take place on Saturday, 11th March, meaning that York's National League match with Scunthorpe United will be rescheduled to a later date.
