The eagerly awaited draw has been made for the early rounds of the FA Cup, earlier today.

By virtue of our promotion last season we are exempt, as a Premier Division club, from the preliminary rounds, so begin our quest to reach the first round proper for the first time since 1998 in the first qulaifying round.

We have been fortunate to come out of the hat with a home draw, at home to either Dorking, Shoreham or Walton Casuals.

Dorking are former Isthmian Leaguers, now competing in the Combined Counties League Division One, at step six; & they host Sussex County League Division One club, Shoreham, which is a Step Five league, in the Extra Preliminary Round, on Saturday 17th August.

The winners of this tie host Walton Casuals, who finished bottom of the Ryman League Division One South, but earned a reprieve from relegation, on Saturday 31st August, before the victors of that come to play ourselves two weeks later, on Saturday 14th September.
