Robin Hood will begin the defence of the FA Cup against Somerset Eagles at White Hill Field.

Hood, who beat Southampton Rangers 1-0 in the final last season, were pitted against Eagles in the first-round draw yesterday. The most intriguing tie will see PHC Zebras take on North Village while Dandy Town face Paget Lions.

In the other ties, to be played on the weekend of January 19 and 20, Boulevard meet BAA, St David’s face Rangers in a First Division affair, and Hamilton Parish are at home to Somerset Trojans.

Wolves have been drawn against X-Roads and St George’s face Devonshire Cougars.
