YORK City's New Year's Eve home clash with Morecambe will now kick off at 1pm.

The game will start two hours earlier than scheduled at the request of the Conference to allow Morecambe fans time to return home and enjoy the 2006 celebrations.

As reported in early editions of yesterday's Evening Press, City have been drawn at home to either Northwich Victoria or Hucknall Town in the first round proper of the FA Trophy.

The promotion-chasing Conference North teams will meet again tonight at Northwich, having fought out a 0-0 draw on Saturday.

Northwich, who include ex-Minstermen favourite Jon McCarthy and former trialist Paul Brayson in their ranks, are currently top of the Conference North table, having only suffered relegation last season because building on their new ground had not been completed.

Hucknall, beaten in last year's Trophy final by Grays, currently lie in sixth place and are mounting a strong play-off challenge.

The winners of Wednesday night's replay will visit KitKat Crescent on Saturday, December 17 for City's first-ever home FA Trophy tie.

City's neighbours Scarborough will travel to Kidderminster for one of the round's five all-Conference clashes.

UniBond Premier League side Farsley Celtic have been drawn away to Paul Gascoigne's Kettering Town.
