FA Trophy- draw made

By Ian Townsend

The draw for the First Qualifying Round of the Buildbase FA Trophy was made this lunchtime- here is the news for our clubs.

The First Qualifying Round of the Buildbase FA Trophy will be played on or around Saturday 26th October, with the winners receiving £2,450 and the losers £800. There are a number of all-Isthmian ties, and the draw- or at least the bit of it including our clubs- here are the highlights:

There are a number of standout ties. Kingstonian and Corinthian-Casuals won’t need to worry about arranging their ties around each other, as they’ve been drawn together- the K’s the ‘home’ side at King George’s Field. Another all Premier Division tie sees Folkestone Invicta host Lewes, whilst Cheshunt welcome East Thurrock United. Bishop’s Stortford will host Enfield Town looking for revenge for their 5-0 thrashing in August, whilst Coles Park will host a battle between Haringey Borough and Horsham. Carshalton Athletic and Merstham will lock horns for the first time since last season’s Playoff Semi-Final, which the Moatsiders won.
