The winner of the replay will host Harrogate Town in round two.

Meanwhile, tonight's games in the Wessex League and Portsmouth Senior Cup have also fallen foul of the weather.

Baffins Milton Rovers v Horndean and Hamble v AFC Portchester (both premier division) were called off well in advance.

The cup clash between Fareham v Paulsgrove at Cam Alders also needs rescheduling because of a waterlogged pitch.

Moneyfields' Southern League division one south game against Street at Dover Road failed a 4.30pm pitch inspection.
