The draw for the early rounds of the FA Cup has been made, and Consett start the Road to Cardiff at home to Northern Counties East League side Pontefract Collieries in the Extra Preliminary Round on Saturday 24 August 2002.  This incidentally means that our home game against newly promoted Prudhoe Town that day has to be re-arranged.  Should we be successful in that tie we face a trip to Spennymoor United of the Northern Premier League in the Preliminary Round the following week.  The reward for overcoming those hurdles will be a place in the First Qualifying Round, and a home game against Ashington or Colne of the North West Counties League on 14 September.  To see the draw in its enitirity on the FA web site click here.
