Litherland Remyca v Charnock Richard 
Much has been written about AFC Liverpool and City of Liverpool FC over the past few seasons. Litherland Remyca are another one of the non-league clubs who play on Merseyside - their home is in Litherland which is part of Sefton about five miles North of Liverpool town centre. The REM part of their name reflects their links to the REM Social Club in the town and Bootle YMCA. This only their second season in the competition - last year they beat AFC Liverpool before losing to Penistone Church. Last season they finished second in the North West Counties League Division One which got them promotion to the Premier Division. 

Charnock Richard are also members of the the North West Counties League Premier and two have some Cup Trivia in common as CRFC also lost to Penistone Church last season which was also their debut season in the competition.

Walthamstow v Walsham-Le-Willows 
Walthamstow is a name with a huge historical association with the world's greatest cup competition as the great Wathamstow Avenue team had many famous runs to the round's proper in the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s with their most famous season in 1952/53 when they drew 1-1 at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the Fourth Round Proper before losing 2-5 in the replay held at Highbury. 

Walthamstow are the renamed Waltham Forest FC from last season which links nicely back to the last time Walthamstow featured in the the FA Cup which was in 1994 when Walthamstow Pennant lost to Ware in a Preliminary Round replay. Walthamstow Pennant went on to merge with Leyton to form Leyton Pennant who in turn changed to Waltham Forest in 2003. 


This is Essex Senior League versus Thurlow Nunn Premier Division as The Willows make the 80 mile trip from Suffolk to East London. Their record in the FA Cup is not brilliant since they first entered in 2006 - they have only one three of their twenty-one games played against Stowmarket Town (2007), Diss Town (2008) and Thetford Town in 2011.
