FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round sees shock upsets, sell out crowds and huge thrashings

The FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round sees shock upsets, some sell out crowds and huge thrashings as it got underway this weekend.

The new FA Cup season began on Friday the 6th of August 2021, with four played out on that day, the majority were on Saturday, and some are to kick off on Sunday.

With a total of 729 clubs entering the competition this season, 348 of them will be taking to the pitch at the first stage with 174 ties scheduled in the extra preliminary round.

And with another 136 clubs entering at the preliminary round stage, we’ll have 155 ties taking place on Saturday 21 August.

Of course, both winning and losing clubs will benefit from the competition prize fund which was released last week, with those progressing from the EPR picking up £1125 and those in the PR collecting £1444. Losing clubs will get £375 and £481 respectively in each round.

The main result of the round that got everyone talking came at Jersey Bulls, who marked their debut FA Cup game by hitting TEN goals past their opponents.

The newly formed club, who play in the Combined Counties League Premier Division South, produced a club-record victory at the Springfield Stadium on the Channel Islands.

They managed to beat visitors Horsham YMCA 10-1 on Saturday afternoon, with Lorne Bickley and Sol Solomon both bagging hat tricks in front of a crowd approaching 1,000.

Kieran Lester, Jay Giles, Adam Trotter and Luca Margaroli also found the net as they Bulls scored more than seven goals in a single game for the first time in their history.

Gary Freeman’s men will meet Newhaven FC in the next stage of qualifiers – the preliminary round – on Saturday the 21st of August, after their 6-1 triumph over Camberley Town.
