BORO face a trip to the highest town in England in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup.

They will travel to Buxton on Saturday, October 11 to see if they can progress further in the prestigious and moneyspinning competition.

The Bucks, formerly in the UniBond League, are now members of the Northern Counties East Premier Division, a division lower than Boro, a fact which ought to give Kevin Glendon's men a crucial edge.

"On paper it's a good draw for us because it's a winnable game," said the Boro boss.

"Although we are away from home we'll probably start favourites and it's better than travelling to someone like Barrow.

"Hopefully we'll get through and a good cup run might be the pick-me-up we need at the moment."
