FA Cup

FA Cup first round draw

THIRTY-TWO Non-League teams have been drawn in the FA Cup first round with some upsets in prospect as Worcester City and Salford City are handed Sheffield United and Notts County.

Lowest-ranked entrants Didcot Town face a home tie against Paul Tisdale's Exeter, in a draw that will see 22 non-league clubs face Football League opposition.

The Silkmen could cause an upset when John Askey's side travel to Fratton Park to play 2008 FA Cup winners Portsmouth, who do not have the greatest home record in the league – drawing five out of eight matches.

The draw will be complete once the replays of the fourth qualifying round are played tomorrow (Tuesday) night.
