FA Cup first round draw details as Hartlepool United prepare for Marine tie

Hartlepool United will hope to avoid being on the wrong end of an FA Cup upset when they face National League North club Marine at Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon.

The Merseyside outfit have already claimed wins against step two rivals Radcliffe and Northern Premier League club Warrington Town to secure their trip to The Vic - and they will be looking to spring a surprise and reach the first round of the competition for the first time since 2023.

For Pools fans, a replay defeat against Gainsborough Trinity in last year’s fourth qualifying round will still be fresh in the mind after the NPL club claimed a 3-1 win at Victoria Park just days after the two sides had battled to a 1-1 draw. However, there will be confidence surrounding Pete Wild’s squad and they will feel last weekend’s 4-2 win at Forest Green Rovers can be the springboard for a major upturn in form - starting with a win in Saturday’s tie and securing a spot in the first round draw. The likes of Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday could lie in wait for the victors this weekend - but when does the FA Cup first round draw take place? Here is everything you need to know.
