The draw for the FA Trophy fifth round has been made.

The Fifth round ties will be played on Saturday, February 6 which means the Spireites’ home clash against Pete Wild’s FC Halifax Town would have to be rearranged if they get through.

Town visit the National League North Pilgrims on Wednesday in the fourth round, their first game back after a 10-day isolation period following positive Covid tests in the Spireites camp.

The winners of Wednesday’s game will receive £5,250 in prize money, with the losers getting £1,500.

The Blues have just faced Solihull Moors in back-to-back games in the National League, with both sides winning one match each.

Town drew 0-0 at home to Aldershot at the start of December in James Rowe’s first home fixture.

Fifth round winners get £6,000, with losers getting £1,750.
