BRAINTREE Town have been handed a trip to Millwall in the second round of the FA Cup.

The sides will meet on the weekend of Saturday, December 3.

The Lions, who are mid-table in League One, knocked out another Essex side, Southend United, 1-0 on Friday night.

Braintree will be competing in the second round for the first time in their history.

Essex's only surviving side booked their place after an explosive 7-0 first-round victory at home to Eastbourne Borough on Saturday.

Colchester United loanee George Elokobi scored a hat-trick and there were two for Lee Barnard.

Monty Patterson, Oliver Muldoon and Simeon Akinola were also on target against the Sussex side.

The prize money for the second-round winners is £27,000 and the draw took place earlier tonight, ahead of the televised tie between Southport and Fleetwood Town at Haig Avenue.
