The draw for the FA Trophy third qualifying round took place this afternoon, handing us an away trip to Hanwell Town.

The tie will take place on Saturday 26th September.

Hanwell currently compete at step 3 in the Southern League Premier South, where they have made a mixed start to the season, taking six points from their opening seven games while progressing through to the second qualifying round of the FA Cup. It won’t be our first visit to the Powerday Stadium in this competition; we met the Geordies in the second round of the Trophy back in 2021, when two Muhammadu Faal strikes set us on our way to a 2-0 win.
