Newton Aycliffe FC have been drawn away to North West Counties League side Nelson in the FA Cup. The competition starts with the Extra Preliminary Round on Saturday 15 August. There will be a sense of déjà vu for manager Peter Dixon & several of his players.
Peter started last season as manager of West Auckland who were also drawn away to Nelson at the same stage of the competition. West won the tie 2-1& Peter will be hoping to leave Lancashire with another win.
If he does Aycliffe will face either Garforth Town or Morpeth Town at home in the next round on Saturday 29 August.
Aycliffe have started pre-season training with their first friendly away to Crook Town on Saturday 11 July. Full details of fixtures are available on the club website www.newtonaycliffefc.co.uk
