The world’s oldest and most magical cup competition is back in our backyard tonight Friday, August 7.
Wokingham Town will welcome Corsham Town from Wiltshire for a thrilling Emirates FA Cup tie that promises to bring all the traditional drama of knockout football right here to our local ground.
There is always something special about a Friday night cup fixture.
The floodlights cutting through the evening sky at the Emmbrook Sports & Social Club, the unmistakable buzz of the local community gathering together, and the tantalising prospect of an FA Cup run all combine to create a brilliant atmosphere.
For Wokingham, this is an opportunity to put their stamp on the 2026/27 competition early.
Our lads will need every voice in the stands acting as the twelfth man to help push them past a resilient Corsham side from the Hellenic Premier League.
Cup matches at this stage are famously unpredictable, and with community pride on the line, expect both teams to leave absolutely everything on the pitch.
Whether you’re a die-hard regular or just looking for a fantastic way to kick off your weekend with the family, local non-league football is where the true heart of the game beats.
