Match Preview

AFC Emley's first home game of the new season is an FA Cup tie against Parkgate.

With the cricket season still in full-flow, it's the now traditional Sunday Special 3pm kick off at The Welfare Ground as the road to Wembley commences with the Extra Preliminary Round of the Qualifying Competition.

Parkgate have started their NCEL Premier season in good fashion with two wins from their opening two games and top the early league table going into the weekend.

The two sides last met in the Sheffield & Hallam Senior Cup in March 2008 - a comfortable 6-0 win for the South Yorkshire side on that occasion.

The winners of the tie will travel to Burscough in the next round. Should a replay be required it will take place at Parkgate on Wednesday.
