Brackley Town will be present in the FA Cup First Round draw after a 1-1 draw away at Hartlepool United in the last FA Cup qualifying round.

A draw at Hartlepool’s Victoria Park means that both the Saints and their National League opponents will be in tomorrow’s (14/10) draw for the FA Cup First Round, which is scheduled to take place in early November.

The two sides will also have a quick turnaround to hold a replay to determine the place in the First Round.

Brackley will host Hartlepool at their St James Park ground on Tuesday (15/10), in a 7:45pm kick-off, with tickets now on sale from the club’s official website.

Last season’s National League North play-off runners-up had reached the Fourth Qualifying Round with two wins, beating Truro City 2-0 in Cornwall in their first qualifying round entered in mid-September and then recording a 4-1 home win over Ramsgate in late September.

In the North East against the National League side, Brackley had started brightly and lead through a goal just after the half-hour mark by George Carline.

But an 85th minute equaliser from former Newcastle and Crawley striker Adam Campbell would rescue a draw for the home side, and ensured a replay in Northamptonshire.

The FA Cup First Round draw will take place on Monday at Bradford City’s University of Bradford Stadium, with the draw being broadcast on BBC Two in the UK from 7pm.

If Brackley can reach the FA Cup First Round, it would be the sixth time in the club’s history and the first since the 2020/21 season.
