The Brewers will face Luke Garrard’s side in the next round in January after knocking fellow fifth-tier outfit Brackley Town out of the competition with a 3-1 victory on Monday evening. Brackley currently sit 19th in the National League, while Boreham Wood are at the top end of the division in fifth place.

Looking ahead to his side’s next tie, Bowyer told his club following Monday's win: “They're a very good team, I’m aware of their manager, I know what he’s done over the years there.

“I've already seen them this season, and it’s going to be another challenge. We'll enjoy tonight, and then our focus goes straight onto Wycombe (tomorrow's clash in League One), and we'll deal with Boreham Wood when the time comes around.

“We'll pay them the utmost respect, like we have done the previous two rounds, and we'll get them watched, and try and find a way to get through.”
