Morpeth Town have discovered who they will be playing in the opening stages of the FA Cup and FA Trophy competitions.

The Highwaymen have been handed a trip to Goole – who finished bottom of the league we will be featuring in this season – in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round. This game will take place on August 11th.  The winners of that game will then have a home clash with Marske United in the Preliminary Round.

In the FA Trophy, a competition they will feature in for the very first time, Town have been handed a home tie with either Glossop North End (from the Evo-Stik West division) or Brighouse Town (who are in this season’s Evo-Stik East division). This will be played on October 13th.
