COVENTRY United will play former winners North Shields in the fifth round of the FA Vase.

The Red and Greens will host North Shields at Butts Park Arena on Saturday, February 7.

North Shields won the competition back in 2015 after beating Glossop North End 2-1 in the final at Wembley after extra time.

The Robins also ply their trade at Step Five in Division One of the Northern Football League which is at the same level as Coventry.

Coventry are playing in the fifth round for the first time in their history following a 6-0 win against GNG Oadby Town in the previous round.

Winning clubs will receive £2,250 while losing clubs will take home £725.
