The draw for the third round of the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup was made on Friday, throwing up some interesting looking ties as clubs like Maidenhead United and Slough Town enter the competition.

There are some second round matches still to take place, however, Holyport managed to book their place in the draw after beating manager Adam Hopkins' former side Sandhurst Town 2-1 last week.

Windsor bowed out of the competition following a 3-0 defeat at home to Berks County, while Windsor & Eton's tie at Wallingford & Crowmarsh was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Flackwell Heath, Ascot United and Marlow are among the other sides entering the competition for the first time at this stage, with EFL sides Wycombe Wanderers, MK Dons and Reading set to join at a later stage of the competition.

The third-round draw has handed the Magpies a trip to Binfield, while Holyport have been drawn at home to Bracknell Town. Slough Town visit Hungerford Town in one of the ties of the round, while Marlow face a trip to either Aylesbury Vale Dynamos or Newport Pagnell Town. Flackwell Heath will visit Didcot Town, with all ties set to take place before Tuesday, November 12, subject to any scheduling issues.
