Maldon & Tiptree wait to see their opponents in the Fourth Qualifying Round of this season’s Emirates FA Cup.
Live on TalkSport Radio this afternoon the Jammers have been drawn against home against Flackwell Heath or Bracknell Town in the 4th qualifying round. The tie is due to take place on Saturday 11 October 2025.
Flackwell Heath and Bracknell drew one-all on Saturday, with Flackwell equalising in the closing stages of the match. The two sides will face off on Tuesday night for the right to travel to the Drewitt-Barlow Stadium.
Flackwell Heath ply their trade in the same division as AFC Dunstable and Hadley who the Jammers have already faced this season. Whereas, Bracknell Town compete in step three of the NLS pyramid, in the Southern League Premier South.
Ticket details, admission prices, and supporter information are expected to be confirmed within 24-48 hours of the replay being concluded. Full details will be shared across our website and all official club social media channels once available.
As it stands, Maldon & Tiptree FC are the only step-four club guaranteed to be in the next round of the worlds most famous cup competition. Runcorn Linnets and Flackwell Heath (as we know…) both have a chance, however require a replay this week to secure their spot. It’s the first time in five years the Jammers have reached this stage of the competition and only the third time in the clubs history, with a 100% win record in the Fourth Qualifying Round, with wins over Royston Town and Haringey Borough in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
Our scheduled trip to Lowestoft Town on 11 October 2025 will be re-arranged and likely move to a Tuesday evening. A new date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course and released here, as soon as confirmed.
