FA Cup third round draw

Non-league Barrow have been handed a trip to Middlesbrough after the draw for the FA Cup third round took place.

Histon's reward for beating Leeds is a home tie with Swansea and Eastwood visit fellow non-leaguers Kettering.

Blyth's reward for beating Bournemouth in a replay is to face Blackburn, Forest Green play Derby and fellow non-leaguers Torquay entertain Blackpool.

Cup holders Portsmouth take on Bristol City, Manchester United travel to Southampton and Arsenal host Plymouth.

Although his players looked underwhelmed when they were paired with Swansea, Histon boss Steve Fallon said it was a good chance to reach the fourth round.

"Obviously, we wanted to be at home; that's all you want," he said.

"You could have the big boys but Swansea are a big side in their own right. It's a good little tie for us and I'm sure we'll have a full house again and maybe a chance of getting to the fourth round."

Barrow booked their place in round three with victory over Brentford, Torquay overcame fellow Blue Square Premier side Oxford and Eastwood pulled off one of the shocks of the round with victory over Wycombe.

Kidderminster Harriers, the last non-league side to make the last 16 of the FA Cup, face a trip across the West Midlands to Championship side Coventry City.
