FA Trophy Third Round draw; National League teams enter

The FA Trophy Third Round draw has been revealed with new teams entering from the National League, and what amazing ties we have.

Fixtures for the next stage of the competition have now been announced, following the weekend’s action – with the draw made on Tuesday the 29th of November.

Second round proper fixtures saw plenty of shocks as well as some high scorelines, penalty shootouts and gone viral moments, see more on that HERE.

Winning clubs for Third Round ties get £4,500, meanwhile, teams leaving this next stage of the competition will receive a prize fund payment of £1,250.

The 2021/22 FA Trophy Third Round Proper is set to take place on Saturday the 18th of December 2021.

There are no replays this season in the competition so all ties – subject to any postponements – will be completed on the day.

2020 FA Trophy finalists Concord Rangers were knocked out in the Second Round after losing 5-0 at home to AFC Totton at the weekend.

A reminder that the 2021 FA Trophy Final was played on the 22nd of May 2021 and it came at a time of AFC Hornchurch’s season in the Isthmian League Premier Division being suspended in November 2020 due to the pandemic and they were unable to play any league football.

They were financially supported by West Ham United chairman, David Sullivan who once lived in Hornchurch, helping them get by.

Hornchurch made the final for the first time and played against Hereford, and resulted in a 3-1 win by the underdogs, causing quite the scenes.

The holders have already been knocked of this season’s tournament, losing in the Third Round Qualifying to Wingate & Finchley, drawing 1-1 in normal time and then lost 5-4 on penalties. The other 2021 finalist, Hereford, are also out, after losing att the weekend to Kidderminster, 1-1 in normal time but were defeated 5-3 by Kidderminster when it came to spot kicks.
