FA DRAWS ARE A MIXED BAG

08 / 07 / 11

Mossley have been drawn at home in the Preliminary Round of the FA Cup against the winners of AFC Liverpool and Runcorn Linnets on Saturday 3rd September.

The winners of that tie will then be away to Squires Gate, Colne, Atherton Collieries or Irlam on Saturday 17th September. All those potential opponents play in the North West Counties League.

It's tougher in the FA Trophy where we have been unlucky to be drawn in the Preliminary Round on 8th October and have to travel to Evo-stik Divison One South side Brigg Town with the winners away to Witton Albion in the 1st Qualifying Round on 22nd October.

In the FA Youth Cup we have a home tie against Congleton Town or Stalybridge Celtic in the 1st Qualifying Round on week commencing 19th September with the winners then away to Northwich Victoria or Formby on week commencing 3rd October.
