Eastbourne Borough will travel to Sholing in the Third Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup following the draw being made this lunchtime (September 15th).

Sholing – of the Southern League Premier South – have enjoyed a good start to the season, and are yet to taste defeat in 2025/26.

They beat Fairford Town in the First Qualifying Round, before a 3-0 win against Fareham Town on Saturday to see them reach the Third Qualifying Round for only the third time in their history, having previously won the FA Vase in 2013/14 – having beaten Eastbourne United 6-4 on aggregate in the semi-finals.

The Mortgage Decisions Stadium awaits Matt Gray’s side on September 27th. Ticket details will be announced in due course.
