Buildbase FA Trophy (Prelim)
The Trophy, which is open to clubs from Steps 1-4 and has 296 teams involved this season, the extra preliminary is being held on Saturday 28 September. The winners from that round will head into the preliminary round on Saturday 12 October. We have been drawn against Bideford at home. There are 10 rounds for us to navigate and like the FA Cup the financial rewards are there as an incentive for the teams. Progressing through the Prelimary Round will earn £2,250 to the club and the roughly the same for the next two rounds, then it steps up around a £1,000 per round. The winners will walk away with over £100k in prize money.
