Crawley Town will find out on Monday evening who they will play in the first round of the FA Cup – but fourth qualifying round defeats for Worthing and Eastbourne Borough mean the Broadfield outfit will be Sussex’s only team in the draw.

League One and League Two clubs come in at the first round stage and the draw takes place this evening (Oct 19) live on TNT Sports.

Until Satuday, there were hopes that the Rebels and Borough might be in the hat too, but both slipped to disappointing defeats in the final qualifying round.

Worthing lost 3-0 away to National League rivals Wealdstone, who scored three times in a ten-minute spell early in the second half, with Ronan Maher, Fejiri Okenabirhie and Luke Norris on target.

Adam Hinshelwood’s side were gutted to go out and will now refocus on a league campaign that has gone very well so far for them.

Eastbourne Borough suffered a similar fate, losing 3-0 away to National South high flyers Salisbury, who play a division above Borough.

As for the first round draw, hosted by Matt Smith, the draw will be made by Martin Keown and Fara Williams and it will be available to watch on TNT Sports 1, HBO Max, and on the TNT Sports YouTube channel.
