Slough Town, FA Cup’s Lowest-Ranked Team, Host Macclesfield in Televised Second-Round Tie

The sixth-tier club enters Sunday's televised tie as the competition's lowest-ranked side, chasing a third-round place that could deliver a lucrative Premier League draw.

Overview

  • The match kicks off at 12:30pm on Sunday and is live on TNT Sports 2, with streaming available via discovery+.
  • The sixth-tier opponents meet from opposite league fortunes, with Slough 22nd in National League South and Macclesfield mid-table in National League North under manager John Rooney.
  • A win would put Slough into the FA Cup third round for the first time in their history, with the draw to be held on Monday evening.
  • Manager Scott Davies says he is “daring to dream” of earning a possible Premier League opponent after navigating a run that included an upset of National League side Altrincham.
  • Davies has spoken about overcoming a serious gambling addiction, and a sponsor has promised him a free hair transplant if Slough win.
