Ely City will be feeling buoyant after they made an impressive start to the 2020-21 season in both league and cup.
The Robins returned from Essex with a point on Saturday following a goalless draw at Stanway Rovers in the Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division, having grown into the contest after the break.
Before that, City beat league rivals Godmanchester Rovers 4-2 on penalties in an FA Cup extra preliminary round tie.
Tom Williams replied with less than 15 minutes to go after Reece King handed Rovers the lead.
Ely’s reward is a date with fellow step five outfit Eynesbury Rovers in the preliminary round at the Demcom Stadium on Saturday, September 12.
