Another FA Trophy away day for AFC Fylde
AFC Fylde will face Hereford in the last 32 of this season’s FA Trophy following confirmation of the draw on Monday afternoon.
The Coasters will visit their fellow National League North team in round four, with the match scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 10.
It necessitates the postponement of both clubs’ scheduled NLN games that day, with Fylde having been due to host Peterborough Sports and Hereford set to welcome Darlington.
Fylde and Hereford have already met in the league this season, goals from Danny Ormerod and Jon Ustabasi giving the Coasters a 2-1 victory at Mill Farm in October.
Having come in at the second-round stage, Craig Mahon’s players defeated Spennymoor Town before last Saturday’s victory at Solihull Moors.
Their opponents, meanwhile, reached this stage with wins against Sudbury and Radcliffe.
As well as a place in the fifth round, arranged for January 31, victory also generates £5,250 in prize money with £1,500 going to the losing team.
