Penalty winner means its Franchise

Ali Akbar - scored in this round last season
We were granted a home tie against one of them last week and it was the pariahs of English football who finally went through after the game looked to be heading for a penalty shoot out.

Franchise led 1-0 but Fisher came storming back to equalise and came close to grabbing a second and a shock win. But it remained at 1-1 and went into extra time before the home side won it with that late penalty to earn themselves a tie at Turf Moor.

They've won through two ties now, both after extra time, against Lewes and now Fisher Athletic but will now come up against Terry Pashley's team in round three on a date still to be confirmed.

This time last year we faced Hull City away, winning it 3-2 with two goals from Cayne Hanley and one from Ali Akbar. We then beat Fulham in round four before going out to a Liverpool side that went on to win the competition.
The tie has to be played no later than Saturday 16th December.
