ALL ROADS LEAD TO WEMBLEY

This weekend sees a number of South West non-league sides take part in the extra preliminary round of the FA Cup. Newton Abbot based side Buckland Athletic, now managed by Steve Massey and former Tiverton Town manager Martyn Rogers, will be looking to win their first ever match in the competition as they face Radstock Town of the Toolstation Western League at Homers Heath. Rogers twice guided Tivvy to the 1st Round stage of the cup and will no doubt be keen to create some more cup history with Buckland.

Elsewhere, Dawlish Town travel to reigning Wessex League champions Poole Town and Cornwall will be guaranteed two representatives in the next round as Launceston play host to Bodmin Town and St Blazey face Torpoint Athletic.

Buckland Athletic vs Radstock Town
Ilfracombe Town vs Falmouth Town
Keynsham Town vs Tavistock
Launceston vs Bodmin Town
Poole Town vs Dawlish Town
Saltash United vs Bishop Sutton
St Blazey vs Torpoint Athletic
