After a very busy weekend of action in the third round, it is now time for the actual draw for the fourth round of the FA Trophy 25/26.
It was a busy weekend as the third round of the FA Trophy got underway. At this point, 24 teams from the National League as well as the winners of the second round competed. There were many goals and a few penalty shootouts in the 32 games.
The game recorded its largest attendance in the third round as 3,715 fans streamed through the turnstiles to watch Southend win at home to Truro.
There were also seven surprises, with Anstey Nomads, Clitheroe, Walton and Hersham, Ebbsfleet, Alvechurch, Gloucester and Telford pulling off a surprise. For more stats and facts, check out the FA Trophy review HERE.
There will be 16 draws in the main round of the fourth round. There are no replays here either, so any game that ends in a draw after 90 minutes will be decided on penalties.
