Eastbourne Borough and Chichester City get home draws in the FA Cup
In the draw made today (Monday) for the Third Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup, Eastbourne Borough have been drawn at home to Sheppey United.
Sheppey United play at Step 5 in the Pyramid, unbeaten so far in the Premier Division of Southern Counties East - and they pulled off one of the eye-catching results of the round on Saturday, putting out Welling United by 2-0. There is never, ever any certainty in the FA Cup!
Meanwhile the only other Sussex non-league club remaining in the FA Cup, Chichester City, will entertain National South outfit Tonbridge Angels. Chichester drew national attention last season with a great run to the Second Round Proper.
The ties will be played on Tuesday 13th October, and full details will follow.
Prize money of £5625 will go to the winners, while the losing club picks up £1825.
