Familiar faces await AFC Fylde in FA Trophy third round
AFC Fylde’s reward for reaching round three of this season’s FA Trophy is a trip to Solihull Moors next month.
Monday afternoon’s regionalised draw for the last 64, when the National League’s top flight teams enter the competition, sees Craig Mahon’s players make the journey to Damson Park.
Having beaten Spennymoor Town in their round two meeting last weekend, the Coasters’ Trophy campaign is due to resume on Saturday, December 13.
It will be the clubs’ third FA Trophy meeting, with Solihull having won the ties played in the 2012/13 and 2021/22 seasons.
Moors presently sit 11th in the National League table, six points adrift of the early play-off positions, after winning four of their last five matches.
Their squad also contains some familiar faces in former Coasters duo Alex Whitmore and Tyler French.
As well as a place in January’s fourth round, victory would also see Fylde bank £4,500 from the competition’s central prize fund while defeat is worth £1,250.
