Saturday's 6-0 win over Dudley Sports at Butlin Road was one of the biggest wins of the First Qualifying Round and meant that Valley will make an appearance in the 2nd Qualifying Round for the third time in four seasons.

Hucknall were relegated from the Blue Square North last season and currently lie 9th in the UniBond Premier.

Valley's last meeting with the Nottinghamshire-based side came in the 2002/3 season when Rugby won 2-1 in the 1st Round of the FA Trophy at Butlin Road.

The only other competitive meeting came way back in January 1984 in the FA Vase 4th Round when Hucknall (then named Colliery Welfare) knocked out the then-Vase holders Rugby 2-0.

The game will be played at Butlin Road on Saturday 26th September 2009.

Last season, Rugby made progress to the Third Qualifying Round of the FA Cup for the second time in three seasons but fell to a last minute penalty at Blue Square South side Bishop's Stortford.

Valley last reached the FA Cup First Round proper way back in 1993-4 nearly 16 years ago.
