The Wildcats will travel to Westlawn, north of Woolgoolga, for the contest.
The side will join Port Saints and Port United with a first round bye, with fellow Football Mid North Coast clubs Kempsey and Macleay Valley to face action for the first time in round three.
The round two draws split 75 clubs from across the region into northern and southern conferences.
For the first time, the northern conference, which consisted of Northern NSW Football’s (NNSWF) four regional member zones Football Mid North Coast, Football Far North Coast, North Coast Football (NCF) and Northern Inland Football (NIF), was included as one rather than four separate draws.
Given the number of clubs entered in the competition, NNSWF will be start in the FFA Cup at round two to align with the national rounds further in the tournament.
