Wrexham's trip to Harrogate amongst ties selected for TV

5 ties in the FA Cup First Round have been selected for live broadcast.  

Kettering Town's trip to League One side Northampton Town is one of two FA Cup first-round ties to be shown live on BBC Two in November.

Seventh-tier Kettering make the 17-mile trip to Northampton on 2 November, with kick-off at 5:30pm.

There are 82 places separating the two sides, who have faced one another in a competitive fixture just twice before.

It is the second of two first-round games to be shown, after Tamworth's match against third-tier Huddersfield Town at 7:45pm on 1 November.

The Lambs, who earned promotion to the National League last season, beat Macclesfield in the fourth round of qualifying to set-up a tie with 1922 winners Huddersfield.

Elsewhere ITV have selected three matches for broadcast, including Wrexham's trip to Harrogate Town and Sutton United's home tie with Birmingham City before rounding off the round with Lincoln City’s trip to Chesham United.
