We beat Wivenhoe Town 4-1 on Wednesday night to secure safe passage through to this stage.

We have also been drawn to face local rivals Ilford in the First Round of the Peter Butcher Memorial Trophy - one of two league cups we will compete in during the 2025/26 season.

We have been drawn at home for both matches, with an exact date and kick-off time to be confirmed by the Club in due course.
