FA CUP PRELIMINARY ROUND FIXTURES

FRIDAY 19th AUGUST
Aveley v AFC Hornchurch

SATURDAY 20th AUGUST
Guernsey v Thamesmead Town -1pm
This game will go down in history as the most Southerly game ever played so far in the competition as an FA Cup tie is played on the Island for the first time ever. They have played two "home" games in the competition before which were played at Lancing FC (2-3 defeat to Dover Athletic) and Lewes FC (1-2 defeat to Phoenix Sports). A big crowd is expected at The Green Lion's Footes Lane Ground - Will The Mead be the party poopers? 
Sittingbourne v Hythe Town - 2pm

Harrogate Railway Athletic v Norton & Stockton Ancients
Billingham Synthonia v Northallerton Town
Dunston UTS v Penrith AFC
Shildon v Kendal Town
Padiham v Newcastle Benfield
Nelson v Bishop Auckland
Chester-Le-Street Town v Marske United  
The home side were runner's up in the Northern League Division One last season and won 3-1 against the much fancied South Shields in the Extra Preliminary Round. The home side were promoted from Division Two after finishing third last season. It all points towards an away win but Chester-Le-Street will be looking to cause an upset. 
West Auckland Town v Lancaster City 
Clitheroe v Consett AFC 
Guisborough Town v Bridlington Town

Washington v Pickering Town
Tadcaster Albion v Scarborough Athletic 
North Shields v Morpeth Town
An interesting game between the winner's of the 2015 and 2016 FA Vase. Both in the Northern League Division One - The home side finished in fifth position and the away side in fourth last season.

Hereford v Alvechurch
An interesting game at Edgar Street between the 2016 Midland League Premier Division Champions and runner's up. Hereford have won all three of their Evo-Stik Division One (South & West) games so far so will be very tough to beat.

A local derby game as only eight miles seperate the two towns - Rovers v Rovers!! The home side finished in a creditable 6th place in the United Counties League Premier Division last season with their visitors finishing runner's up in the Eastern Counties League Premier Division. Could be a close game and a possible replay?

Thurrock v Halstead Town
Witham Town v Eton Manor
Waltham Forest v Hoddesdon Town
Haringey Borough v Barkingside
Waltham Abbey v Bowers & Pitsea

Sporting Bengal United v Clapton
An East London local derby and all Essex Senior League clash. Bengal first entered the competition back in 2005/06 and have a pretty misearable record - their Extra Preliminary Round win at Ipswich Wanderers this season was only their second win in thirteen games played. A win would put them through to the First Qualifying Round for the first time in their history. The Ton's have an equally poor record in recent times with only three wins since 2005/06. The winners will have a tough away trip to Evo-Stik Southern Premier Division Kings Langley in the first qualifying round.

Farnborough v Longlevens AFC
Has to be The Levens biggest game in their history since they were formed in 1954. The club were long term members of the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League but in 2011 joined the Gloucestershire County League where they were Champions in 2013 and 2014 subsequently being promoted into the Hellenic League Division One (West) where they were champions in 2015 and promoted to the Premier Division. Their 4-2 victory over Bedfont and Feltham in the Extra Preliminary Round was their first appearance in the FA Cup. Farnborough are now members of the Evo-Stik Southern League Division One (Central) and are one of the favourites for the title having signed the ultra-experienced Jamie Cureton from Dagenham and Redbridge over the summer.
