Emirates FA Cup First Round Draw

The draw for the Emirates FA Cup first round has been made at Maldon & Tiptree FC. The non-league side, who ply their trade in the Isthmian League North Division, were 3-1 winners over Royston Town in the fourth qualifying round on Saturday, meaning they enter the first round for the first time in their history.

Seventy-Nine Clubs Make First Round Appearance

Thirty-two non-league sides were joined by 47 clubs from League One and League Two.

The draw featured Isthmian League North Division side Maldon & Tiptree and Isthmian League South East Division outfit Chichester City.

The non-league duo are two of the lowest-ranked teams who remain in the prestigious competition.

The Jammers and Chichester are four promotions off the Football League and earned money-spinning ties.

Maldon & Tiptree will head to Leyton Orient while Chichester received the bye straight through to round two.

In reaching this stage, Chichester have won through six FA Cup stages.

If a Premier League side won six FA Cup matches in one season, they would be lifting the trophy.

Ipswich Town, the highest-ranked team in the competition, will face Lincoln City at Portman Road.

Potters Bar Town scored a late leveller to take National League side Barnet to a replay and the winner will face Fleetwood Town.

Ties will be played on the weekend of 9-10 November.
