FA UPDATE: Cup & Trophy Starting Rounds Revealed

The Football Association have confirmed the round exemptions for the FA Cup and FA Trophy. Based upon our league finish from last season, we are amongst the 51 Step Four sides that have been handed a bye into the Preliminary Round of the FA Cup.

Whilst many clubs will start the season with an Extra-Preliminary Round tie on the 3rd of August, we’ll face Spalding United in a friendly at Farley Way, with our FA Cup adventure beginning in the Preliminary Round on the 17th of August. The draw for that round will be announced on Friday the 5th of July.

Alongside all other Step Four sides, we will enter the FA Trophy in the Preliminary Round, that match will take place on the 24th of August. Again, the draw will be published on the 5th of July. Keep an eye on our website and social media channels for updates.
