Following promotion to the Enterprise National League, the Iron are back to entering in the third round stage having had two seasons entering at the second round proper stage. Last season, the side were edged out at the first attempt by Warrington Rylands in a 2-1 defeat at the Attis Arena, while in the year before, United first beat Darlington 2-0 in Round Two before losing 2-0 to Solihull Moors in Round Three.

The side's only other involvement in the Isuzu FA Trophy came in our first campaign in the National League in 2022-23 in the Third Round stage, with the Iron losing 3-1 away at Wrexham in our only current away tie in the competition.

Victory for the Iron against whoever we are drawn to play would be the furthest the side have reached in the competition.

Games will take place on Saturday, December 13th, with full details announced once confirmed.
