Fallon's Histon are currently third in the Blue Square Premier

Histon boss Steve Fallon has said he could not be happier with his side's "dream" tie against Leeds United in the second round of the FA Cup.

Leeds were confirmed as the Stutes' next opponents after they overcame Northampton 5-2 in Monday's replay.

Fallon told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "It was the result we wanted, although having seen Leeds play I'm perhaps not so sure now.

"They comfortably beat Northampton so it's going to be difficult for us."

Fallon says his side would have been happy with either Northampton or Leeds, but admits the Yorkshire giants were everyone's preferred pick.

"It's the tie we all wanted to help raise the profile of our club," he said.

"Everything that this tie will generate will help us long term and that's the biggest aim."
