Slough Town and Hungerford Town will be joined by Vanarama National League side Maidenhead United in Monday’s draw for the 2017/18 FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round draw on Monday afternoon.

The Rebels came from behind to beat National League South side Poole Town at Arbour Park 2-1 while Hungerford Town are in the hat after a 1-1 draw with Billericay Town and face a replay on Tuesday night.

Maidenhead United are in the draw for the first time, their status as a National League Premier side giving them a bye from all but one of the qualifying rounds.

How far as each side reached in the competition?

Hungerford – Reached the first round proper once in 79/80 but were beaten by Slough

Maidenhead – Have reached the first round proper on eight occasions, the most recent was the 15/16 season when they took Port Vale to a replay

Slough – Played in the Second Round Proper on no less than six occasions – arguably the most famous was the 04/05 competition when they beat Paul Merson’s Walsall in the first round
