Basingstoke Town to face Kidlington in the FA Trophy 3rd Qualifying Round
Basingstoke Town will host the Oxfordshire based side at Winklebury Football Complex in the Third Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy on Saturday 7th October.
Kidlington currently play in the Southern League Central and sit in 15th place after five games. In their two ties in the Trophy so far, both at home, the Greens defeated North Leigh 2-0 in the First Qualifying Round and on Saturday, they won 2-1 versus Exmouth Town in the Second Qualifying Round. We last played them in an away pre-season friendly back in August 2020.
Dan Brownlie noted; ‘It’s nice not to be facing someone from our own league. We’ve not played Kidlington in a few seasons, so for that it’s a decent tie. We’ve had a few connections over recent years as we’ve helped them a little with recruitment and loans. It’s also good to be drawn at home. If Saturday was anything to go by; it should be another great atmosphere. We’ll be looking forward to it.”
Match Day tickets will be made available closer to the game; please check our social channels for further announcements.
