BREWERS TO FACE CHIPPENHAM TOWN IN THE FA CUP SECOND ROUND

7 November 2022

BURTON Albion will play Chippenham Town in the Second Round of the Emirates FA Cup.

The Brewers were drawn at home against the National League South club after beating Needham Market FC in the First Round at the Pirelli Stadium on Saturday.

It means that Albion are now only 90 minutes away from a potentially money-spinning Third Round tie against a Premier League side.

Brewers manager Dino Maamria said: "The most important thing for us is the home draw. Our fans always embrace the FA Cup and they were brilliant again on Saturday giving us so much energy. It doesn't matter to us whether it's a non league team or top end of League One, being at home is what counts.

"No FA Cup tie is easy, especially when you are playing a non league team and they have nothing to lose and they are playing at their maximum. Chippenham have shown that already by beating Lincoln City which was a huge win for them.

"We never underestimate anyone and this is a big game for both clubs with the possibility of going to the Third Round. We always do our homework and prepare the same way against every team. We left no stone unturned against Needham Market and will do the same against Chippenham."

The Second Round tie will be played on the weekend of November 25-27. Date and ticket details will be announced once the televised games have been selected.
