The magic of the FA Cup is live and kicking as lower league teams get TV air time. Kettering Town’s trip to League One side Northampton Town is one of two FA Cup first-round ties to be shown live on BBC Two in November.
There are 82 places separating the two sides, who have faced one another in a competitive fixture just twice before.
Seventh-tier Kettering FC make the 17-mile trip to Northampton on 2 November, with kick-off at 17:30 GMT.
It is the second of two first-round games to be shown, after Tamworth’s match against third-tier Huddersfield Town at 19:45 on 1 November.
The Lambs, who earned promotion to the National League last season, beat Macclesfield in the fourth round of qualifying to set-up a tie with 1922 winners Huddersfield.
ITV have selected three matches for broadcast, including Wrexham’s trip to Harrogate Town and Sutton United’s home tie with Birmingham City.
