FA CUP SECOND ROUND DRAW UNFAVOURABLE TO NON-LEAGUE SIDES
London, Nov. 15.
The draw for the second round of the English
Football Association's Challenge Cup competi tion could mean that not a single non-League club will be in the third round when the "Giants" of the first and second divisions make their entry.
Not that this is likely to happen for there are sure to be one or two shocks. It just so happens that in none of the 20 ties is there a clear case of non-league clubs meeting each other.
Almost every season at least me non-LANIgue team reaches the competition's closing stages.
