Chester FC youth team manager Calum McIntyre says his side could not have been handed a more 'exciting' FA Youth Cup second-round tie.

The Blues young guns will welcome Bolton Wanderers to the Lookers Vauxhall Stadium later this month as reward for their superb first-round victory at home to Fleetwood Town.

Bolton will be favourites to progress.

They were a Category One academy until last year and currently play in the second tier of the Under-18 Professional Development League alongside fellow Category Two clubs like Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and Crewe Alexandra.

But McIntyre insists Wanderers will not have it easy.

The 23-year-old said: "What a draw that is for us. To have made that little bit of history we deserved the opportunity to host one of the bigger clubs.

"In Bolton, we face a former Premier League club and it couldn't be much more exciting could it?

“That said, I don't intend for this group of players to be remembered for beating Fleetwood Town. These boys have the opportunity to be remembered for being the first Chester FC youth side to reach the FA Youth Cup third round.

"Did you see those celebrations at full-time? I don't think anyone will want to face this team in the next round, especially not at our ground.”

The tie must be played by Saturday, November 19.

Meanwhile, Fleetwood youth team boss Nathan Rooney has admitted the Blues fully deserved their shock victory on Wednesday .

He said: "I don't think we stamped our ground on the game. We didn't look like a side that's actually shown quality and the word endeavour over the last few weeks.

"There's no point talking too much about it now. At the end of the day it was on show that some players didn't step up to the mark and to be fair to Chester, we have to give credit to them.

"They were ridged, they were strong, they were organised, just like we've been over the last couple of months against some good oppositions in our league.

"We didn't adapt and we didn't break them down, and I just felt that it needed a strong tackle or someone to influence the game on our behalf."

The Blues were roared on by 413 supporters and Rooney continued: "It wasn't just because it was home turf, not just because they were lower league underdogs, at the end of the day you've still got to go out there and apply it.

"I believe collectively as a full unit, Chester did that from the start and fair play to them. I hope they get a really good draw in the second round."
