Widnes to meet Bury in Emirates FA Cup

Widnes will travel to Bury AFC in the preliminary round on the Emirates FA Cup.

Both sides overcame replays in midweek to reach this stage of the competition with Widnes overcoming Winsford United while Bury edged Hallam.

The tie at the Neuven Stadium will be played on either Friday 19 August or Sunday 21 August. The date, kick-off time and ticket details will be announced in due course.

It'll be the first-ever meeting between the two teams after Bury AFC's foundation in 2019 as a phoenix club following the expulsion of Bury FC from the EFL earlier that year.
