Mansfield Town will be ball number 19 in tonight's FA Cup second round draw, being shown live on television from 7pm.

The Stags overcame a tricky first round away tie at non-League minnows Shaw Lane Association on Saturday as two superb second half Danny Rose goals inside five minutes sealed a 3-1 victory.

Mansfield will now be keeping their fingers crossed on a home tie to give them hope of a place in the third round where they could get to play one of the giants of the game.

Since then the Stags have failed to get past round two.

Former Stags manager Paul Cox is still in there with his Guiseley side, having been held 0-0 at home by Accrington Stanley, and is ball number 14.
