Last season Hinckley drew Hanley at home at the same stage of the competition with that game finishing all square. The replay was also a close affair with Hanley eventually edging Hinckley out by the odd goal in 3.

Hanley won the Midland Football League Premier Division last season and just like Hinckley achieved automatic promotion to step 4, in their case the Northern Premier League West.

Neil Lyne and the squad trained last night and are in good shape to take the game to Hanley as they seek to overcome last seasons early exit from the competition.
