Match Preview

This year’s Emirates FA Cup journey begins on Saturday as EBAC Northern League Division One side Shildon travel down to Yorkshire.

The Brewers will be looking to better their most successful FA Cup run of the Third Qualifying Round achieved a couple of years back whereas the visitors have reached the Second Round before. Looking at the two sides’ FA Cup previous, the Railwaymen pose a much better record failing to go beyond this current stage just twice in eight seasons. Taddy on the other hand haven’t had as much joy after only making the First Qualifying Round once in the last five years.

Shildon have made a fine start to their 2018/19 campaign sitting top of their league as they are yet to be beaten winning four and drawing one in their opening five fixtures. With the Evo-Stik League starting a few weeks later, Albion got off the mark on Tuesday night with an action-packed 4-3 victory over Sheffield FC.

The two sides have actually met in the competition before back in the 2010/2011 season when the Railwaymen triumphed 4-2 in a replay after the original fixture ended 1-1.

Tadcaster sit a step above their opponents but we all know how strong Northern League sides are so today’s contest should be an intriguing one that’s for sure.

If the tie ends all square then the replay will be played on Tuesday 4th September. If there is a winner on the day then the First Qualifying Round will take place on Saturday 8th September.

Team News: Morton & Collins are likely to name the same side that were victorious at Sheffield FC in midweek with Joe Lumsden and Aiden Savory starting together up front.
