THREE Non-League clubs will receive plenty of national exposure and 63,800 pounds after having their FA Cup First Round ties selected for live TV broadcast.
Southern Premier Division club Cambridge City will host MK Dons in the first fixture on Friday, November 2. The game, which kicks off at 7.30pm, will be screened on EPSN.
Two days later Braintree Town take on Tranmere Rovers at Cressing Road.
Rovers currently top League One and will prove a huge test for ex-England midfielder Alan Devonshire’s Iron side, who lie 17th in the Blue Square Bet Premier.
That fixture is being aired on ITV and kicks off at 12.30pm.
The final televised tie of First Round weekend sees Blue Square Bet South high-fliers Dorchester Town face Plymouth Argyle at the Avenue.
Dorchester are fourth in their Step 2 division – mainly due to their formidable form at home, where they have won five out of five.
They will be hoping to add Plymouth’s name to the list of sides they have beaten there this term and ESPN viewers can see whether they manage to do so at 4.30pm a week on Sunday.
Clubs progressing through the First Round Proper will also receive 18,000 pounds from The FA’s prize fund.
