Magic Of The Cup! National League Clubs Picked For FA Cup Coverage

By Tom Scott

There's more FA Cup action on the way for our sides with no fewer than eleven National League teams selected for television coverage.

The magic of the cup was in full swing last weekend as a number of our sides booked their places in the First Round.

And now the MANarama National League are pleased to confirm three of our teams ties will be shown live on the box.

First up, it's a Friday night date for Dulwich Hamlet as they welcome League Two Carlisle United to Champion Hill, kick-off at 7.55pm on BBC Two.

Dover Athletic saw off Weymouth last time out and they've been rewarded with a Sunday lunchtime clash with Sol Campbell's Southend United - live on BT Sport 1 from midday.

But perhaps the biggest chance of an upset comes on Monday night when 2008 winners Portsmouth head to the CNG Stadium to face Harrogate Town.

Simon Weaver's men have been in fine form recently and will no doubt fancy their chances against tough League One opposition.

Featured clubs will receive a broadcast fee of £75,000 - with the winning side also netting £36,000 prize money.

Elsewhere, eight additional Clubs have been chosen for televised coverage through extended highlights and single camera footage.

Maidenhead United host League One Rotherham United in the pick of the Saturday 9th November fixtures.

The following day, Chippenham Town, Barnet, York City, Wrexham and Gateshead all host fixtures as part of the BBC's FA Cup special on Sunday lunchtime.

Altrincham travel to Bootham Crescent in an all-National League tie, while Bromley head west take on Bristol Rovers.
