FA Cup giantkillers Worcester City have been rewarded for dumping former winners Coventry City out with a trip to Scunthorpe United in the second round.
The Conference North side will be looking to claim another League One scalp as they visit Glanford Park.
Conference side Dover City will also be facing Football League opposition again in the shape of Cheltenham Town after dumping Morecambe out on Saturday. Cheltenham produced a shock result of their own in the first round, trouncing Swindon Town from the league above 5-0.
Chester have been handed a tough away game at Barnsley in round two having shocked Southend in the firsr round. Barnsley were in clinical form on Saturday, disposing of Burton by five clear goals.
Warrington Town - the lowest ranked side left in the competition - have been drawn away to Gateshead - after they caused a big shock in knocking out Exeter City, who compete four divisions above the part timers from the Evo Stik Division One North.
Elsewhere in the draw, there is a tasty-looking North East derby between Hartlepool and Blyth Spartans on the cards. With Hartlepool bottom of the Football League, Blyth's players will be looking to claim another famous moment for their team, whose history is full of FA Cup magic.
Bradford City's reward for knocking out fellow Yorkshiremen Halifax is a home tie against Dartford, who won by the odd goal in a seven goal thriller at Bromley.
There are also competitive all League games between divisional rivals; League Two promotion contenders Bury and Luton will square up at Gigg Lane, with Oxford United and Tranmere Rovers also drawn together. League One's Milton Keynes Dons will face Chesterfield, and Colchester United must beat Peterborough United to progress.
