Clapton and Oakwood both play in the seventh tier of the pyramid but even so, attracted crowds of 310 and 200+ respectively in the previous round.
Oakwood manager Andy Parsons said: “I’m excited about developing the squad, building on last season’s successes. We always enjoy the FA Cup as it’s a great festival of football.
“This season we are looking to continue developing our players and pushing to the next level, with the goal to gain promotion to the South East Counties Premier Division.”
Clapton head coach Patrick McLaughlin told claptoncfc.co.uk: “We reached this stage with an exciting 6-3 win vs Margate in the preliminaries, played in front of a huge crowd! We performed well and took control of the game after being pegged back to 1-1.
“Oakwood also had a big crowd in the last round and have started their season very well, with 6-1, 8-1 and 2-1 wins. We will need to be at our best if we are to progress to the next round.”
