The FA Cup First Qualifying Round draw for Berkshire clubs

The full draw for the Emirates FA Cup First Qualifying Round has been made and released with Berkshire sides Binfield and Bracknell Town taking part.

The Robins beat Badshot Lea 2-0 on Saturday while Binfield thumped AFC Totton 5-1 at Hill Farm Lane, but as far as the First Qualifying Round draw goes, the two East Berks clubs have been kept apart and drawn away.

For Binfield, it is a step 4 side again with Surrey-based Pitching In Isthmian League South East Division One side Whyteleafe the hosts.

Bracknell will travel to Kent to face Ashford United from the same division as Whyteleafe. Previously known as Ashford Town (and the reason why Ashford Town in Bracknell’s division use the suffix Middlesex) the two sides have met on a number of occasions in the Isthmian League and have played each other twice in the 1994/95 FA Cup (Bracknell won 3-1) and 2000/01 when Ashford wn 2-1.
