The Saints return to St James Park on Saturday as we welcome Chelmsford City in the Third Round Qualifying of the Emirates FA Cup.

Brackley head into the tie following Tuesday evening’s 3-2 victory over South Shields. Tahvon Campbell opened the scoring before two goals from Josh Tomlinson secured all three points in a dramatic Enterprise National League North contest.

The Saints reached this stage of the competition with a 1-0 home victory over A.F.C. Portchester, Fin Roberts scoring the winning goal.

Chelmsford also progressed with a 1-0 victory in the previous round, Jack Barham’s second-half goal securing an away win against Canvey Island. Mark Cooper’s side were held to a goalless draw at home to Horsham in their most recent fixture.
