FA Cup Preview

Hereford have a free weekend after losing at Stafford in the FA Cup a fortnight ago.

However a number of National North and South League clubs remain and they will play their next ties tomorrow.

This preview from Sam Elliott:

More FA Cup headlines are about to be written, and with one more round before the Enterprise National League clubs enter every tie counts this weekend.

Our National League North and National League South sides continue their journeys on Saturday - and there will be plenty of them in the hat for Monday’s draw.

That’s because after mission avoid an upset last time, there are a ton of same-division ties this time around.

Macclesfield fans are dreaming again and the bar is of course high after sending the FA Cup holders packing last season.

It’s Scarborough Athletic next and the Seadogs watched their incredible adventure unfold last time and want a slice of the action themselves this time!

It’s far from the only all National League North tie.

Morecambe meet Darlington, Buxton host South Shields and Chester face Spennymoor Town, whose new manager Peter Hartley is hoping to make a flying start.

There is a meeting of South sides too - who will come out on top when Torquay United take to the road and face Tonbridge Angels.

The draw is regionalised for one final time but in an odd quick, have a North v South tie to look forward to as Brackley Town take on Chelmsford City.

A number of our sides are looking to avoid becoming the third qualifying round story.

Paul Doswell once guided Sutton United to glory over Leeds United and to a tie with Arsenal.

His Sholing side are on the march and have Ebbsfleet United in their eye-line.

Dagenham & Redbridge nearly were a headline last time out but after finally seeing off Waltham Abbey, they face another Essex outside - Brentwood Town.

But this time they do it in front on an upset-hunting nation! The match will be shown live on BBC iPlayer, Red Button, as well as on the BBC Football’s YouTube channel and the BBC Sport website, with kick-off at 12:30pm.

Andy Preece’s Chorley hoping it’s a smooth side at Barton Town.

Chesham United are happy to be at home, they take on Real Bedford, while the same could be said for Salisbury - who welcome Dulwich Hamlet.

The prize money goes up - with £5,625 earned by the winners, and £1,875 collected by the defeated sides.
