Bracknell Town, Hungerford Town and Slough Town all face away days following the draw for the 2025/26 FA Cup Third Qualifying Round.

Conor McDonagh is back in a big way for Hungerford who will travel to either Kent or Sussex depending on the outcome of a replay between Whitstable Town and Chichester City this week.

The forward missed most of last season through injury but scored all three goals as the Crusaders won the ‘Bobby Wilkinson derby’ – the clubs former manager is now in charge at Swindon Supermarine.

Bracknell’s reward for beating Tadley Calleva is a trip to a venue familiar from their Hellenic League days. Wilks Park will host the Robins with Flackwell Heath the opponents.

Slough Town meanwhile will have a relatively short trip to Bedfont Sports should they come through a replay with Welling United on Tuesday night.

Finally, in here’s what you could have won news, Maidenhead United’s conquerors Faversham Town will travel to Ebbsfleet United.
