proper begins on Friday, with eighth-tier Sheppey United – a team based on the Isle of Sheppey off the coast of Kent – hosting League Two Walsall.But we will have to wait until Sunday – and the match between Charlton Athletic and Cray Valley – for the biggest gulf between two teams.
Cray Winger Kyrell Lisbie, son of former Charlton striker Kevin, has set his sights on an upset against his dad’s old team.Kevin famously scored a hat-trick in the Premier League to beat Liverpool 20 years ago, and later spent two seasons with Cray Valley, including in the 2019 FA Vase final at Wembley.
With seven goals in the competition so far, Lisbie is in the race for this season’s Mitre Golden Ball Award, which recognises the top scorer in the FA Cup and gives players lower down the pyramid the opportunity to compete against Premier League stars.
