The road to FA Cup glory has begun with the draws for the early rounds of the new season’s FA Cup and FA Vase competitions.
Dereham Town have been pitched into a Norfolk v Suffolk battle in the FA Cup. The Magpies have a bye into the preliminary round when they will host the winners of the clash between Whitton United and Ipswich Wanderers, who ply their trade in the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties Premier and First Division North respectively.
There’s a big Norfolk derby in the extra preliminary round when Gorleston host Swaffham Town, with the winners facing a tough away trip to either Wroxham or Arlesey Town.
Norwich United are away to Haverhill Rovers with the winners hosting Wisbech Town.
Kirkley & Pakefield host Cogenhoe United with the winners facing a home tie against Bury Town.

In the FA Vase first qualifying round, there’s a juicy-looking encounter on the cards when Norwich United visit Godmanchester Rovers.
