Nantwich Town return to FA Cup action this weekend when they host Worksop Town in the First Qualifying Round of the 2018-19 competition.
Worksop, who play in the Northern Counties East Premier Division, beat Carlton Town in the Preliminary Round and defeated Shepshed Dynamo in the Extra Preliminary Round.
Nantwich Town were cheered to the rafters as they more than held their own for most of their FA Cup 1st Round defeat away at League Two Stevenage.
But they were ultimately undone by superior set-plays and clinical finishing, toppling out of the competition with a 5-0 defeat.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
