FA Cup First Qualifying Round- draw made

By Ian Townsend

The draw for the First Qualifying Round of the FA Cup- when our Premier Division clubs join in- has just been announced

Saturday 3rd September is a date to put in your diaries, because that's the date of the next round of the Emirates FA Cup. Our Pitching In isthmian Premier sides join in, the winners pick up £2250, the losers £750- but there's something more important than cash, the chance of glory!

The Gods of the Balls haven't been all that kind to us. There are SIXTEEN all-Isthmian draws. There are five ties between sides in the Pitching In Isthmian Premier alone. Still, looking on the bright side, that at least means we'll have at least sixteen sides in the next round!
