Emirates FA Cup - Draw for the Extra Prelim and Prelim Rounds

Fri 5th July 2024 | FA Challenge Cup
By Martin Fallon

The draw for the First and Second Round Qualifying of the Emirates FA Cup has been released.

Its down to Premier Division sides only this season, with 23 of our 24 clubs in the Cup as FC Isle of Man have not entered.

We are guaranteed four sides through due to all-NWCFL ties, with plenty of others facing ex-NWCFL sides who have either laterally moved or promoted to the NPL in recent years.

FC St Helens make their FA Cup debut with a trip to Emley, a former NWCFL side who are now in the NPL East! South Liverpool, who last entered the FA Cup in 1990/91, travel to NCEL side Handsworth. Stockport Town are in their second FA Cup campaign, and they get their first home tie against former NWCFL members 1874 Northwich.

Our reigning Premier Division Champions Wythenshawe have been drawn at home to Pilkington, whilst fellow promoted side Wythenshawe Town host Chadderton.
