This tie will be played on Saturday 13 September at Holloways Park, with the winners to receive £3,000. Ardley will compete in the Hellenic League, Premier Division, whilst Ash, Hartley Wintney and Frimley Green play in the Combined Counties Premier Division.

In the FA Trophy, Slough face a tough trip to Margate, of the Ryman Premier League.
