Last year’s Emirates FA Cup heroes Colney Heath will begin this year’s campaign with a mammoth away trip to Gloucestershire.

The Magpies reached the second qualifying round last year and almost produced a shock result against Burgess Hill Town, taking the Bostik Premier Division side to a replay.

Their run this year though begins in the extra-preliminary round at the wonderfully named Tuffley Rovers, located on the outskirts of Gloucester.

Should they win that they will be at home to Cinderford Town.

London Colney are also away, at Brackley Town Saints, while Harpenden Town get a home tie against familiar foes Edgware Town.

Their prizes are home matches against Hadley or Fairford Town and Southall or Leverstock Green respectively.

Preliminary round ties will take place on August 25 with the extra-preliminary matches on August 11.
