Harriers take on the conquerors of League Two Exeter for a £30,000 pay day and a place in round three.

No one will be underestimating the Northern League Division One minnows, who put three past a side 100 places above them in a 3-2 win.

Mark Yates's side secured their passage through with an impressive 1-0 win against Cambridge, with Justin Richards the matchwinner, in a battle of the Blue Square Premier promotion chasers.

Now Curzon come to Aggborough on November 29, with Yates eager to make sure his side are not the next victims of an upset.

He said: "We are not the sort of side that will underestimate teams, so trust me Curzon will be afforded the proper respect. All we wanted on Saturday was to be in the hat for the second round and we have done that.

"I will have them watched, so I will have some idea of what to expect. At the end of the day, we have a home draw in a game we can win and that must be our focus.

"We know what is at stake, so we will make sure that we are fully aware of their threat. No way will we be taking them lightly."
