Craig Mahon’s players only made the trip to Brewery Field last Tuesday, when they earned a sixth consecutive NLN away victory with a 5-0 rout of their hosts.

Luca Thomas, Ryan Colclough and Danny Ormerod (2) had the Coasters 4-0 up at half-time, after which Colclough completed the scoring with his second of the evening.

A win will see Fylde take their place in round three on December 13, when the National League’s top-flight clubs enter the competition.

Progress against Spennymoor would also see them pick up £3,750 from the competition’s central prize fund, while defeat is worth £1,000.
