Salop navigated their way through a potentially tricky tie in the first round - as they beat National League North league leaders South Shields.

Anthony Scully bagged a double and Tom Sang also netted as they came out on top at the 1st Cloud Arena.

And now they will face non-league opposition again. They will travel to former League Two outfit Sutton, who sit bottom of the National League.

It could well have be a huge Shropshire derby for Salop - with Sutton narrowly beating AFC Telford United in the first round on Saturday.

Appleton's men will make the trip to Gander Green Lane on the weekend of December 5.
