MK Dons will head to Hill Farm Lane for the Berks & Bucks County FA Senior Cup Second Round after they were drawn away to Binfield.

The Moles were one of 17 teams given a bye to the Second Round, but unlike the other ‘professional’ teams in the draw, MK Dons began in the First Round with a 5-0 win at New Bradwell St Peter.

Joining MK and Binfield in the Second Round is EFL League One Wycombe Wanderers – the defending champions – who will travel to Southern League Central Division One Winslow United while the biggest all-Berkshire tie of the round is arguably Thatcham Town at home to Bracknell Town.

One quirk of the men’s competition which doesn’t necessarily happen elsewhere, is that the three professional teams of MK, Wycombe and Reading FC (who have a bye in this round) are automatically drawn as the away side.

There have been some big crowds in recent seasons, particularly when Reading played Bracknell at the old Larges Lane ground, and Wycombe visited Thames United to face Long Crendon and a crowd of 1,904 in 2022.
