FA Cup draw: Hereford get another home tie

Hereford have been drawn at home to Ilkeston Town in the second qualifying round of the FA Cup.

The Derbyshire-based club ply their trade in the Northern Premier League Premier Division and were only formed in 2017 after the former club folded.

With step two National League North and South sides joining the competition at this stage, which is still regionalised, 120 clubs will battle it out to make it a step closer to the first round proper on Saturday 2nd November.

Winners will pick up £3,375 in prize money and the losers £1,125 - as well as a split of the gate receipts after expenses.

Ties will be played on Saturday 14th September.

Last season, Hereford were only drawn at home in the FA Cup and Trophy - being knocked out by Gillingham in the first round proper of the FA Cup and Gateshead in the fifth round of the trophy.
