Cup road is clear after early draw!

By David Watters

The Ryman League's top flight clubs know who they'll be facing when they kick off in The Emirates FA Cup this season after the draw was made for the First Round Qualifying at Wembley.

The Football Association say the draw took place at lunchtime on Monday ahead of this weekend's upcoming Preliminary Round ties involving clubs from Ryman North and Ryman South in order to help fans, players and officials from around the country with their scheduling plans ahead of a busy September.

After collecting £1,500 for victories this weekend, winning clubs over the weekend of Saturday 3 September - Non League Day 2016 - will bank another £3,000 from The FA's prize fund with another £4,500 up for grabs in the next round.

In total, 736 clubs kicked off in the Extra Preliminary Round at the start of August with £15,132,000 set aside in prize money for this season's competition and the winner of next May's Emirates FA Cup Final at Wembley banking £1,800,000.
