Bostik Football League outfit Billericay have shot to fame in recent times under the colourful ownership of Glenn Tamplin, including the likes of Jermaine Pennant, Jamie O'Hara and recently Paul Konchesky in their ranks.

The clubs will meet in the second round tie on Saturday, January 13.

Stourbridge aim to continue their fine cup form after memorable FA Cup successes in recent seasons.

Gary Hackett's Glassboys enjoyed a narrow 1-0 victory at Leamington last weekend to make the second round.

Billericay are second in their division, the southern equivalent to Stourbridge's Evo-Stik Northern Premier Division, but have five games in hand to make up the three point difference at the top.

Elsewhere, Kidderminster Harriers welcome Stockport County in one of the headline ties in the FA Trophy second round.

John Eustace's side will meet the former Football League side and their National League North rivals on January 13.

The Aggborough outfit go into the tie in good spirits after downing the holders in the first round, with York beaten 2-1 last weekend.

Just two points separate Kidderminster, in seventh, and 10th-placed Stockport in the National League North. Stockport won 3-1 at Lancaster City at the first round stage.

Harriers enjoyed a 2-1 win at Edgeley Park in October and are set to welcome County in the league on February 3.
