FA Cup dreams kick off with Humber Bridge derby
North Ferriby and Barton Town will meet in the FA Cup first qualifying round.
Two North East Yorkshire football clubs, separated by the Humber Bridge and just eight miles apart, will face off in the first round of the FA Cup. North Ferriby Football Club and Barton Town will contest a derby match at North Ferriby's Church Road ground, hoping to advance towards the Wembley final. The townspeople expect a large crowd to support their local teams.
The winner will earn £2,250 in prize money, while the loser receives £750. Both clubs' players are local, adding to the competitive spirit of the game. The match, scheduled for 14:00, aims to attract more fans due to Hull City's late kick-off against Aston Villa.
