The draw for the FA Trophy first round proper has been made, with three Tameside clubs discovering their fate.

Following their derby day win over Stalybridge Celtic, Curzon Ashton have been rewarded with a trip to NPL East side Bridlington Town.

Meanwhile, both Ashton United and Hyde United have been handed tough ties against familiar opposition.

The Robins host fellow NPL Premier side Redcar Athletic, who sit third in the league and are yet to be beaten.

As for the Tigers, they face a tough trip to nearby Avro, who occupy second spot having won seven of their opening nine matches.

All ties are set to take place on the weekend of October 24, with a place in the second round and £3,000 in prize money on offer to the winners.
