The replay comes after both teams faced last Saturday and Cleeve held off the National League South outfit to a 0-0 stalemate at Kayte Lane.
In the goalless draw, it seemed inaccuracy was the biggest winner as the fixture was troubled by a lack of composure from both teams.
Cleeve started it off quick in the third minute where Matt Bower had a long-distance strike rattle off the bar.
After the quick start however, the game descended into typical long ball tactics with both teams firing it deep.
The biggest chance of the half also went to the Southern League side, as a wayward header at the back from Chesham was jumped on by Cleeve’s Ross Langworthy who tried to chip the keeper one-on-one but the effort drifted wide.
In the 51st minute the woodwork was tested again, but this time by Chesham as the ball hit the inside of the post but managed to stay out.
The rest of the second half was a story of shots soaring over the bar from both sides until the final whistle put the forwards out of their misery.
Cleeve will be thrilled with another chance to get one over on a side two divisions above them, and be in for a chance at the later rounds where bigger teams will be drawn.
Both teams will surely be raring for the replay at The Meadow where they will be aiming to improve on their finishing, in order get into the fourth round of the cup and face Yeovil Town at home.
