Gillingham face a trip to Preston North End in the second round of the FA Cup
Gillingham have been drawn
against another League 1 side in this season's FA Cup.
The Gills were the first tie out
of the hat on Sunday afternoon when they were handed a trip to
Preston North End in the second round.
The two sides have never met
each other in the FA Cup previously. Their last meeting was in the
Championship more than seven years ago when they drew 1-1 at
Deepdale, with Paul Smith scoring a last-minute equaliser for a
Gills team that featured the likes of Ian Cox, Mamady Sidibe and
Darius Henderson.
Preston reached this stage after
a 3-0 win over 10-man Yeovil on Saturday courtesy of goals from
Joel Byrom, David Amoo and Chris Robertson.
The tie is due to be played on
Saturday, December 1.
