The draw for the second round of the FA Cup has taken place, with non-league and EFL sides discovering their opponents.
Eight-tier Ramsgate are the lowest-ranked side left in the competition after beating Woking on Saturday and their reward for that is a trip to League Two side AFC Wimbledon.
Fellow non-league side Maidstone United host Barrow while 2013 winners Wigan will take on either Chester or York in the second round following their goalless draw on Saturday. Eastleigh will also be eyeing an upset when they take on struggling Reading.
Elsewhere, Wrexham - who made it to the fourth round last season - have a home tie against National League South leaders Yeovil, and Notts County host Shrewsbury.
Chesterfield, who knocked out League One leaders Portsmouth on Sunday will take on Leyton Orient in the second round and manager Paul Cook was delighted with his side's progress.

"It is a great result for us as a National League team but the division is getting so strong now, with the managers and players that are dropping down into it," Cook told ITV Sport.
"The days of non-league teams are not there anymore, it's such a strong division now. We did well today without the ball and out of possession and Pompey are a great team.
"We had to work our socks off because they are so dangerous but I felt it would be our day today and we deserved it. We will keep going in the second round but my focus is on promotion. We aren't going to win the FA Cup but we will enjoy the win and enjoy the next round."
