Ashton to travel to Matlock in FA Trophy

Ashton United will travel to Matlock Town in the FA Trophy second qualifying round.

The Robins progressed to this stage of the competition after beating Warrington Town 1-0 last weekend, but were made to wait to discover their opponents until Wednesday night. Matlock returned from Carlton Town with a 2-1 victory and have therefore booked their place in the second qualifying round.

 

The tie is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 9. 3pm kick-off.
