What to do in East Berkshire if you love the FA Cup but your teams already out

The closest fixture is 10 miles away from Bracknell

All our clubs are out of the FA Cup following Binfield’s 3-0 defeat in a replay at Horndean last week, but that doesn’t mean the FA Cup has to end!

If the cliche ‘magic of the cup’ has any basis in reality, then you are all definitely going to be interested in where you can catch some good honest First Qualifying Round action this weekend then right?

Right..

So here goes.
