Mansfield Town were handed an away tie at League Two rivals Barrow when the draw for the First Round Proper was made tonight.

Fans watched Alan Smith and Dion Dublin make the draw live on BBC2 with 80 balls in the hat and Stags the very last ball to be pulled out.

It is a quick return to Holker Street for Stags, having won there 1-0 with a Jordan Bowery goal the weekend before last.
