WITTON Albion have learned of their next opponents in the FA Cup.
Today's third qualifying round draw confirms Carl Macauley's side will travel to FC United of Manchester on Saturday week, October 6.
READ: Background to the draw and Witton's 2018-19 cup campaign so far
Their hosts currently languish second from bottom in National League North with just one win and three draws to show from 10 outings.
Progress to the next stage of the FA Cup came courtesy of a 2-0 home victory over Colne in front of 1,130 fans at Broadhurst Park in Moston on Saturday.
That was the side's first win in seven matches and their first at home this year.
Witton, who earned the date thanks to Saturday's 2-1 humbling of Spennymoor Town, exited the 2015 competition at the second qualifying round stage at te hands of FC United in 2015.
Plum draw for @WittonAlbion, and they’ll hope to give a better account of themselves than last time they visited @FCUnitedMcr for an #FACup tie 🙄

Happy with that. Could have been a lot worse still a big job to do though!
