Time for the 25/26 FA Trophy Fifth Round Proper draw now following a very busy weekend of Fourth Round action.
Hosted by Olly Clink, the draw was made by former Arsenal, Carlisle and Southend United player and broadcaster Adrian Clarke.
It was a busy weekend as the FA Trophy Fourth Round got underway, 8 of the 16 games were postponed. They will be played in midweek.
Two teams from the eighth tier, Anstey Nomads and Clitheroe will be in the draw after having their games called out. The only other side, Leatherhead, lost to Horsham.
The biggest attendance in the Fourth Round came in Yeovil’s penalty shootout win over Alvechurch, with 1,870 fans making their way through the turnstiles.
There are so far 2 upsets, with 7th tier Walton & Herhsam beat 5th tier Brackley Town, and Isthmian League side Chatham knocked out National League outfit Carlisle.
The Fourth Round Proper Round sees 8 ties drawn out, but with more teams than usual due to the weekend’s postponements. There are no replays, so any match which end in a draw after 90 minutes will be decided via a penalty shootout.
Teams who win will pick up £6,000, while the losers pick up £1,750, a full list of prize money and dates for each round can be seen below…
