Congleton Town have discovered who they will face next in the FA Cup.

The Bears have been drawn at home to Chorley FC in the second round of qualifying of the world's oldest national football competition.

Richard Duffy's side's FA Cup journey began in the preliminary round with a 3-0 win at home over Padiham.

They were then given a bye following the withdrawal of Widnes FC.

Congleton will welcome Chorley to the Cleric Stadium on Saturday, September 13.
