	10-man Rugby were unluckily knocked out of the FA Cup in the 3rd Qualifying Round last season at Bishop's Stortford

Dudley came through in a replay against Midland Alliance side Rocester last night.

Not to be confused with Dudley Town, Dudley Sports were founded in 1979 and have spent the majority of their history in the Midland Combination League.

They have competed in the FA Cup just once before - last season when they were knocked out in the Extra Preliminary Round.

For the fourth successive season, Rugby will face opposition from at least two leagues lower in the First Qualifying Round.

After games against Deeping Rangers, Glapwell and Friar Lane & Epworth in the past three seasons, Valley will face Dudley - 3 leagues below the Zamaretto Premier.

Last season, Rugby made progress to the Third Qualifying Round of the FA Cup for the second time in three seasons but fell to a last minute penalty at Blue Square South side Bishop's Stortford.

Valley last reached the FA Cup First Round proper way back in 1993-4 nearly 16 years ago.
