What he might have considered was finding an FA Cup Second Qualifying Round tie. The draw is made regionally at this early stage, so while ex-league club Workington Town travelled to Knaresborough Town and won 4-1, St Neots Town were beating Romulus 4-3 (Midland League cup from Castle Vale, Birmingham) Pro Certo Habeo- I am sure!

The losers benefited by having a good time and adding around £12,000 to their coffers for winning three previous ties. The winners march on to the Third Qualifying Round with a similar victory pot plus £9,000.
The Extra Preliminary Round had 184 starters winners earning £2250 and even the losers get £750...thanks to Emirates.
The Prelim Round totalled 160 teams, the 1st Qualifying Rd 116 teams and the second qualifying round 80. It's almost First Round proper time! £36,000 and 40 clubs trying to make money.
I have just mentioned an old Football League club, Workington Town and have found the following ex-League clubs who were hoping for some success in the cup filling of their coffers:
Boston United left FL 2007 lost to Peterborough Sports.
Chester 2009 beat the City of Liverpool.
Darlington lost 0-1 to Bradford Park Avenue 1970.
Southport 1978 beat Farsley Celtic 3-0.
Hereford 2012 (renamed) drew 0-0 with Truro City.
Kidderminster Harriers 2015 beat Atherstone Town 5-0.
On the south coast Torquay Utd 2014 whipped Lymington Town 7-0.
South Shields lost 1-2 to Stockport County 2011.
York City 2016 beat Ashton Athletic 5-0.
Do you know any others?
