Wednesday saw off Morecambe in the first round and then Mansfield Town over the weekend to set up their latest tie, and they’ll be out to keep their run going in the new year when they return to cup action.

It’s also been confirmed that the winners of their third round tie will pocket £105,000 from the competition’s prize fund, an amount not to be sniffed at even though it pales in comparison to the £2,000,000 on offer for whoever goes all the way and wins the tournament.
