THE EMIRATES FA CUP EXTRA PRELIMINARY ROUND REPLAY
WEDNESDAY 4th AUGUST 2026 7.45pm KICK OFF
NORTHWICH VICTORIA v BEVERLEY TOWN FC
After a goalless draw over at Beverley on Sunday, Wednesday sees the replay at the Apec Taxis Stadium to decide which team progresses to take on Bootle FC in the next round.
Beverley Town are members of the Northern Premier League East ( step 4 ) after they gained promotion through the playoffs last season.
Beverley have been in existence since 1902 but only joined the League system in 2000 when they reformed to play in the Humber premier League. Since then, they have made steady progress through the system culminating in their promotion last season.
Their appearance in the 2024 FA Cup was their first for 102 years but unfortunately lost 3 - 2 against Whitley Bay Fc .
Their competitive league season hasn't started yet so the FA cup tie was their first competitive match though they have gained a series of decent results in pre-season including a 2 all draw against Winterton Rangers whom we played in the FA Vase last season.
Vics will be looking to get back on the goal scoring trail after drawing a blank in their three matches so far this season, despite dominating a lot of the matches , so let s get down to The Apec and cheer the lads on.
Wear your Pena Colada shirts with pride.
