Stafford Rangers and Halesowen Town meet in FA Cup
The third qualifying round will take place on the weekend of Saturday, October 3.
Stafford Rangers and Halesowen Town will face off in a West Midlands derby in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup.
Giant-killers Stafford beat National League North leaders Hereford from two divisions above in a 3-2 thriller in front of 3,004 fans at Marston Road on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Halesowen Town also made it through to the third qualifying round with a 2-0 victory against Mickleover.
And their reward for reaching that stage of the competition is a clash against one another - with hosts Stafford flying high in the division below the Yeltz.
Having reached this stage, both clubs are now just two wins from the first round proper, with National League sides - including Kidderminster Harriers, Southend United and Carlisle United - entering the competition in the fourth and final qualifying round on October 17.
Before that, the third qualifying round will take place on the weekend of Saturday, October 3. Winners will receive £5,626, with losers being awarded £1,875.
