MATCH PREVIEW: FA CUP FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Brislington hit the road this Friday as they travel east for a tough Extra Preliminary Round tie in the Emirates FA Cup — away at Wokingham FC.

It’s a long journey for the Foxes, who’ll be hoping to kick-start their campaign under the lights against one of the oldest clubs in the country. Known as "The Satsumas", Wokingham boast a proud heritage reportedly stretching back 150 years — and their modern-day side come into this cup clash with momentum, having opened their season with an emphatic 5–1 win over Holyport.

Brislington, meanwhile, are two games into their league season and still searching for that first victory. Early signs of promise have been on display, but this fixture offers a welcome opportunity to shake off the slow start and carve a path into the next round.

As ever in these early FA Cup ties, there’s an element of the unknown — a new ground, unfamiliar opponents, and the added spice of knockout football. But it’s these very ingredients that make the world’s oldest cup competition so compelling.

Can the Foxes rise to the challenge on Friday night and book their place in the next round? All eyes on Lowther Road.
