FA Cup first-round draw: Charlton Athletic to host Cray Valley Paper Mills | Football News



League One Charlton Athletic will host neighbours Cray Valley Paper Mills of the Isthmian League South East Division in the FA Cup first round.

Kyrell Lisbie plays in attack for the Millers, following in the footsteps of his dad Kevin, who spent 11 years at Charlton until 2007 and later four years with the non-league club until 2021.

A total of 80 clubs entered at this stage of the competition, with 32 winners from the fourth qualifying round and all 48 clubs from Sky Bet League One and League Two.

Another standout pairing will see Cambridge United entertain Southern League Premier Division South side Bracknell Town, who earned their place in the hat after a shock 1-0 win over National League side Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Ramsgate, who also play in the Isthmian League South East Division, will host Hemel Hempstead Town or Woking and Horsham of the Isthmian League Premier Division will take on League One Barnsley at Oakwell.

National League leaders Chesterfield will host current League One leaders Portsmouth, who are unbeaten in the league since March.

The first-round ties will take place over the weekend of Saturday November 4 and Sunday November 5.
