There's always an excitement surrounding the FA Cup, and this season is no different for two of our local sides.
Hyde United, who defied the odds to beat Darlington of the National League North last weekend, have been handed an away tie to Buxton, whilst Curzon Ashton, held to a 2-2 draw at Scarborough on Saturday, will have to overcome the Seadogs this evening in a replay to cement their place in the next round. If the Nash achieve this, they will travel to Peterborough Sports.
