Wallingford & Crowmarsh have the ‘plumb’ draw for the 2024/25 Emirates FA Cup First Qualifying Round after it was released at 1pm on Monday.
The Wally will travel to Hampshire to face some modern FA Cup royalty in Southern League Premier Division Havant & Waterlooville.
Relegated from the National League South last season doesn’t dim the Hampshire sides sheen, they famously beat York City, Notts County and Swansea City in a 2007/08 cup run that was only ended at Anfield by Liverpool – and have since been regulars in the latter stages of the Qualifying Rounds and played five times in the First Round Proper.
Bracknell Town and Hungerford Town, in the draw for the first time this season are both at home against South Park and Yate Town while Virginia Water earned a tough away day to Horsham.
