FA Cup second round draw

Salford City v Cheltenham Town

And we’re on

Kelly Somers has welcomed us to the draw.

Emile Heskey and Leon Osman will be handling the balls.

It’s all go, go, go. Exciting.

These sides are just one game away from playing the big boys.

Teams to look out for

Well, non league Tamworth knocked Huddersfield Town out so they’re definitely worth looking out for.

Kettering Town also pulled off a giant killing by beating Northampton Town.

Bromley, Walsall and Mansfield Town also progressed at the expense of Rochdale, Bolton Wanderers and Curzon Ashton respectively.

No Hollywood story

Sadly, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney won’t be seeing any FA Cup glory this season.

Harrogate pulled off a shock by defeating Wrexham 1-0 to make it to the second round.

Jack Muldoon scored the only goal of the game to knock the League One side out.

The Heskey’s

It’s been a busy weekend for the Heskey’s as England legend Emile will be in charge of tonight’s draw, while his two sons have been doing the business on the pitch.

Man City U21’s thrashed Norwich 5-0 to maintain their place at the top of the table ahead of Brighton.

City were 1-0 up at half-time before a substitution changed the game and sank their opponents.

Reigan Heske netted a 20-minute hat-trick before adding an assist for City‘s fifth.

While Jaden Heskey completed 90 minutes playing in City’s midfield, with the pair linking up for the second time in a week.

When are the FA Cup second round ties?

The second round proper ties will be played between Friday 29 November and Monday 2 December.

Kelly Somers will be hosting, with Emile Heskey and Leon Osman conducting the draw.

Stay tuned as we are just 15 minutes away from the HUGE draw.
