Selby Town have been handed a home draw in the first round proper of the FA Carlsberg Vase.

The Robins, flying high in the Northern Counties East League premier division, will play either Newcastle Benfield Saints or Teesside outfit Thornaby on October 18 at Flaxley Road.

Saints and Thornaby, both of the Northern League, face each other in the second qualifying round. Harrogate Town and Pickering Town enter the competition at a later stage.

Pickering Town Under-19s came from behind to win their first derby of the Northern Alliance season, 2-1 at Selby Town.

Both goalkeepers made good saves and Luke Baines cleared off the line for Selby before the Robins went ahead on the half-hour when Tom Heseltine and Lee Gemmell set up Matthew Dunne.

Pickering had calls for a penalty turned down before they equalised with a 20-yarder from George Rose. They got the winner ten minutes from time when they broke from defence for Steve Baxter to score.
