It is the FA Cup Preliminary Round. 134 Clubs from Step 4 and 138 Clubs from Step 5 in action across the weekend, hoping to secure the £1444 winning prize-money but also a place in the First Qualifying Round when the 88 Step 3 clubs join the competition.

Phil Annets returns to the fold to offer a review of the Extra Preliminary Round and a preview of this weekend’s games too.

One club through to this round is Boro Rangers. A club younger than any of the players that will even feature in the completion this season but one on the up and in the right way too as founder and chairman Mark Curtis explains.

Matt Badcock helps round up the week’s non-league news and previews this weekend’s Non League Paper.
