COLCHESTER United have been drawn at home to League Two side Swindon Town in the second round of the FA Cup.

And non-league side Chelmsford City will also be at home, against League Two visitors Macclesfield Town.

The U’s thumped 10-man Crewe Alexandra 4-1 at Gresty Road in yesterday’s first round tie, while the Clarets beat AFC Telford 4-0.

The balls were drawn out by Ray Crawford and Norman Hunter, to mark 40 years since Colchester United’s famous FA Cup 3-2 win over Leeds United at Layer Road in 1971. Crawford scored two goals that day.

The ties will be played over the weekend of December 3 and 4.

Swindon are going well this season. They have won five of their last nine games and yesterday they caused an upset by beating League One high-fliers Huddersfield Town 4-1 at the County Ground.
