TILBURY will be hoping to add to two victories on this season's FA Cup road to Wembley when they entertain Brantham Athletic in the First Qualifying Round at the EMR Stadium, Chadfields on Saturday (3pm, 31 August).
Dockers have already beaten Buckhurst Hill 4-1 and Stanway Rovers 3-1 in the two previous rounds, picking up £1,125 and £1,444 in prize money from the respective wins. Victory on Saturday will put £2,250 into the club's coffers, while defeat adds £750.
Progress to the next round brings a guaranteed pay day of £1,125, while a win would add £3,375.
Tilbury will start the match as favourites against Thurlow Nunn Premier Division opposition, who last visited Chadfields in the FA Cup in 2012 when they were beaten 5-1.
The Blue Imps have madea decent start to their league season and sit in sixth with three wins and two defeats from their five league matches.
To qualify for Saturday's match Brantham have won twice on their travels, beating Shefford Town and Campton 2-0 and White Ensign 3-1.
