Kettering Town have drawn Doncaster Rovers at home in the second round of the FA Cup, after they beat local rivals Northampton Town 2-1.
It was the first time the two Northamptonshire sides faced each other since 1989, and it took extra time for Kettering to snatch a winner.
It means a visit to Latimer Park for the South Yorkshire outfit, who currently sit 4th in League Two.

Northampton Town manager, Jon Brady- who used to play for Kettering in 2007/08- said after the match, "it's a really bad night for us" but sends their wishes to The Poppies for the rest of their cup campaign.
