25/26 FA Trophy Fourth Round Proper draw after Third Round action

Time for the 25/26 FA Trophy Fourth Round Proper draw now following a very busy weekend of Third Round action.

It was a busy weekend as the FA Trophy Third Round got underway, 24 teams from the National League teams entering at that stage, along with the winners from the Second Round, and there were plenty of goals and a few penalty shootouts across the 32 games.

The biggest attendance in the Third Round came in the fixture with 3,715 fans making their way through the turnstiles for Southend’s win at home to Truro.

There were also 7 upsets, with Anstey Nomads, Clitheroe, Walton and Hersham, Ebbsfleet, Alvechurch, Gloucester and Telford causing a surprise. See more stats and facts in the FA Trophy review HERE.

The Fourth Round Proper Round sees 16 ties drawn out. Once again, there are no replays, so any match which end in a draw after 90 minutes will be decided via a penalty shootout.
