FA Cup first round draw details - ball numbers and start time as League One and Two clubs enter

by · Manchester Evening News

Bolton Wanderers, Salford City, Wigan Athletic and Oldham Athletic are among the teams set to learn their fate tonight when the much-awaited draw for the FA Cup first round is made.

After months of preliminary and qualifying rounds, we've finally arrived at the first round proper. It was so close - yet so far - for ninth-tier Bury as they were edged out in a 1-0 loss away to Harborough Town, while Macclesfield were beaten 4-2 by higher level opposition in Tamworth.

The 32 victors from the fourth qualifying round matches - along with teams needing a replay - will now be joined by the 24 teams in League Two and the 24 teams in League One for the first round proper.
