Ryman League Premier Division leaders host Littlehampton Town in the First Qualifying Round of the FA Cup

The leaders of the Sussex County Football League meet the leaders of the Ryman Premier Division in the FA Cup this coming Saturday.
Maidstone United, unbeaten at home this season, host Littlehampton Town - also unbeaten in all competitions - in the First Qualifying Round of the FA Cup.
Kick-off at The Gallagher Stadium is at 3pm on Saturday 13 September.

Stones boss Jay Saunders told maidstoneunited.co.uk “Littlehampton have nothing to lose and will come here fired up for this match. I said to the lads after last night’s game that we can’t take them lightly and that I need the same commitment and energy as I saw in the second half against Kingstonian.

“Over the years we’ve seen clubs at or around our levels enjoy fantastic runs in the FA Cup. As a player and now a manager, there’s a certain magic about the cup and everyone wants to go as far as possible in it.”
