Macclesfield FC drawn at home to local rivals in third round of FA Cup qualifying
By Matthew Hancock-Bruce 15th Sep 2025
Macclesfield have discovered who they will face next in the world's oldest national football competition.
The Silkmen's FA Cup journey continues later this month when they welcome Nantwich Town to the Leasing.com Stadium for the third round of qualifying.
It comes after a triumphant 3-0 win for John Rooney's side on Saturday, September 13, at home to Atherton Laburnum Rovers.
A goalless first half was followed by a much more exciting second, with Sean Etaluku opening the scoring just ten minutes after the break.
Debutant Ethan McLeod was brought on shortly after the goal and took just six minutes to get one himself, a composed finish from close range.
D'Mani Mellor put the cherry on top, adding a third for the hosts in stoppage time.
The draw for the third round of qualifying took place on Monday, September 15.
Macclesfield will host Nantwich Town, with the fixture scheduled for Saturday, September 27.
