Forest handed tough FA Cup and Trophy draws

For the sixth successive season, Waltham Forest will face step 4 in the preliminary round of the FA Cup.

We will travel to Aveley on Saturday 31^st August, with the winners facing a tie to Canvey Island.

This will be the first time that we have faced Aveley in the FA Cup.

Like last season, we will make our way to the seaside in the FA Trophy. In the Preliminary Round we will take on Folkstone Invicta. This will be the first ever meeting between the two sides.

Should we win that tie, we will be at home to Ryman Premier Division side Kingstonian.
