FA Cup Preview.

As we look towards the weekend FA Cup fever has set in among many non-league teams. Fans are dreaming of a 1st round tie among teams like Charlton, Brighton, Sheffield Wednesday & Southampton. But first awaits a 4th qualifying round draw that makes or breaks a team's hopes for a cup run.

The tie of the round comes from Newport where County face Crawley Town. The Reds will be desperate to avenge the 3-2 defeat from the Exiles at the Broadfield Stadium on Saturday.

Meanwhile the 4 of the 3 lowest ranked teams left in the competition have been rewarded with home times. Hythe Town face Staines, Leiston play Dartford and Poole Town are against Hayes & Yeading. Tipton Town play Sheffield away.

There are also potential Banana Skins at this stage. With the likes of Barrow, Histon & Mansfield Town all facing tough away trips. No Doubt come 5pm Saturday most teams will want to be in the hat to face some top league sides, but for some the run will come to an end.
