BANBURY United have been drawn away to Basford United in the third qualifying round of the Emirates FA Cup.

The game will take place on Saturday, October 2.

The Puritans made it to this stage after a 2-1 win at Nantwich Town on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run to nine games.

After going behind, Morgan Roberts equalised on 41 minutes, before Sam Brown won it on 89 minutes.

The Puritans equalled their best FA Cup run last season by making the first round proper.

However, the north Oxfordshire side lost 2-1 at home to Canvey Island.

It had been 47 years since the Puritans last reached the first round – and the fifth time in all, whether as Banbury Spencer or United.

The game was played during the second national coronavirus lockdown.

Canvey Island then lost 3-0 at home to Boreham Wood, for a place in the third round.
