BURY will host Hemel Hempstead Town in the FA Cup after they won through a tense replay at home to Conference Premier outfit Nuneaton Town.

Dean Brennan’s Conference South strugglers, who are 18th in the table after just three league wins out of 11, made it through to the first round proper for the first time in 74 years following a 2-0 win after extra time.

“It will be nice for the players to go and compete at a League Two team,” said Brennan, of the tie at the JD Stadium.

“It will be a new experience for everyone at our club – for our supporters and players – and it is one everyone is looking forward to.”

The match will take place on Saturday, November 8, kick off 3pm, with any replay scheduled for Tuesday, November 18.
