evening, three ties and now hyde united. they have come through five rounds already, just to make it to the first round proper, a run that started way back in august, and they are promising the tigers to go further. we will be ready for it. the supporters are getting on our back, helping us through, i think, fingers crossed it could be a good night for us. it's hyde from the eighth tier of english football against league one mk dons. but there are a0 first round ties across the weekend. we'll also hear from hereford and shaw lane. i'm lizzie greenwood hughes with the rest of the day's stories, including a possible lengthy ban for the former man united defender — patrice evra after he kicked a fan in the head before a europa league game in portugal.

and can england silence lebanese fans — who are looking for another scalp in the rugby league world cup. good evening, we are just a 15 minute train ride out of manchester piccadilly to the east of the city. the etihad stadium is about six miles that way, but you really couldn't be further away. this is the northern premier league, division one north. trevor sinclair is with me. hyde are getting ready for the match of their lives against league one mk dons who are over 100 places above them, through the football leagues,

there are live pictures from the hyde united dressing room. they have gotjob, some have been working today, teachers, recruitment co nsulta nts, today, teachers, recruitment consultants, but my word they are tuned in, they have trained here last night, on what is a fantastic looking pitch. because it is artificial. let us bring in a man who is a veteran of many fa cup run, trevor sinclair is working for bbc sport tonight. we are set fair and the fa cup story, they start in the first round because we have 32 non—league teams but hyde are way down there, one of the lowest ones. you can see evoe stick, the first division north. northern premier first division. in the base of the pyramid. it is is a difficult time for them, they have been playing well, scoring goal, not been conceding but coming up against a league side different category. you look at the pitch. that might be a leveller, being 36, they are used to

playing on it. this is what they use in moscow's stadium. it is a nice surface but you have to bring in the condition, it is dry, there is no irrigation on the pitch so the ball will stick. it won't suit a passing game. the tempo of the passing won't be great, so that is a leveller. it isa be great, so that is a leveller. it is a great night. playing under the lights is brilliant but in the fa cup they have a real opportunity to get tot the next stage. brilliant for the players. they trains here last night. the mk dons came up early, they have been training on an artificial pitch as well. i spoke to the manager darren kelly, he says the manager darren kelly, he says the pitch they trained on, they won't be ready for this and they have gone 20 games unbeaten, let us hear from the hyde have gone 20 games unbeaten, let us hearfrom the hyde united manager 110w hearfrom the hyde united manager now and how he has been preparing his team for this match against league one dons. the buzz about the place, the smiles on the face, it is absolutely brilliant. they deserve it. when i i

first come in they were in the back of three relegations but the potential was there, you can see the potential, i believe in terms of the squad, we have developed and helped and they have bought into it, what we are trying to do, working together and making it a good community family feel to club. i think we are starting to get the rewards off that, i hope they can put on a good show. we are not going to do anything differently. we will give it a good go. no matter what, the supporters as well, we will be proud of the players. we will be ready for it. the supporters getting on our back, being the 12th man, helping us through. fingers crossed it could be a good night for us. trevor, he says they will give it a real go and the supporters will be the 12th man. 3,000. they haven't had that sort of crowd for a long time. they have been in freefall hyde but they have bottomed out and

had a fantastic unbeaten run. they are fifth at moment. a lot of games in hand. they have been playing good football at the moment. great football. what winning does is brings confidence to the team. gives you confidence in the manager. they will be confident whatever formation puts out, they will try and execute that. confidence is everything. that can be the difference between going out there and feeling like you with a world beater and going out feeling like i don't want to control the ball, it makes a huge difference, you body language and the way you move, you look at the mk dons player, the pressure they are under, they are expected to win this game. two points from the past five. the manager kept them in for an hour at the weekend after the game, giving them a dressing down, saying do they wa nt to them a dressing down, saying do they want to be footballers. they have a lot of questions to answer. they will need to perform. if they can't match the performance of hyde united, not only performance, if they can't match them physically this will be difficult. we saw the

reaction they have gone through, starting back in august. congleton, warrington, they needed a replay there, boston, scarborough, this is their reward, think, they wanted a blackburn or charlton but mk dons is still a big club. it will be a test. testa m e nt to still a big club. it will be a test. testament to warrington, they are not scared of teams higher than them. one of their advantages is you look at it is the evening. they train in evening after doing a full day at work, so they, their body clocks will be ready, that is not the same with mk dons, they train in the same with mk dons, they train in the morning, play in the afternoon so the morning, play in the afternoon so that could be a leveller. we will hear from trevor later. let us we will hear from trevor later. let us concentrate now on another one of the non—league sides. shaw lane. not so the non—league sides. shaw lane. not so long ago the barnsley side were

an amateurteam, a so long ago the barnsley side were an amateur team, a pub team, so long ago the barnsley side were an amateurteam, a pub team, but they have rocketed through the leagues and they have reached the first round for the first time, they we re first round for the first time, they were playing in the sheffield and hallam shire senior league but my word, they are another team to watch out for. shaw lane were a pub team less than a decade ago, the pub now a supermarket and the team have moved on too. it surreal to come this far so on too. it surreal to come this far so quickly and play a football league team saturday. it is incredible. i have been here four yea rs, incredible. i have been here four years, when i first got a job, saturday there is going to be a full house, it is fantastic. them fa cup run has certainly grabbed the attention but shaw lane are a huge success story any way, they have been promoted five times in the past

six years. but along with the success six years. but along with the su ccess co m es six years. but along with the success comes sadness. 0ne six years. but along with the success comes sadness. one of their players daniel wilkinson collapsed during a match, and died last year. every time we go out we think about dan, everything is about dan, he will be a big part of this club, a lwa ys will be a big part of this club, always will be, the memory of dan, he his name will be round here, the lads will be wearing his shirt. that is something close to our heart, dan, iam is something close to our heart, dan, i am hoping is something close to our heart, dan, iam hoping he willshine is something close to our heart, dan, i am hoping he will shine down on us on dan, i am hoping he will shine down on us on saturday. is all the players have other job, on us on saturday. is all the players have otherjob, from teachers to lorry drivers. midfielder david norris played for leeds before retiring from the professional game. he is is now a personal trainer. got this one set up personal trainer. got this one set up over here and decided i still wa nt to up over here and decided i still want to play. i started at almost the exact same level for three years before i eventually got lucky enough to make it as a pro, so coming down i knew what to expect. while i still

get a buzz from playing and scoring, i will keep going. tomorrow's game will be the biggest match of most of these player's career, on live tv against mansfield town of the football league. from pub team to fa cup first round in less than a decade, they will drink to that, after the game of course. so many story, just waiting to happen. happen. could shaw lane cause an upset tomorrow. still plenty coming up on fa cup sportsday from here. ispent plenty coming up on fa cup sportsday from here. i spent a plenty coming up on fa cup sportsday from here. ispent a bit plenty coming up on fa cup sportsday from here. i spent a bit of time with the tigers top scorer, matt beadle. he is got five fa cup goals so beadle. he is got five fa cup goals so far, his father is also in the fa cup first round. we will find out what matt beadle is about at the

same time. apologies for that, there is plenty of other sports going on. let us catch up we the latest with lizzy. patrice evra could face a lengthy ban after being charged by uefa with violent conduct. the former manchester united defender — who now plays for marseille — tied to kick one of his own fans in the head during the warm—up for marseille's europea league game against the portuguese side vitoria guimaraes last night. he was dismissed before kick off and u efa he was dismissed before kick off and uefa are investigating the incident. investigating the incident. usually on a friday we'd be hearing from manchester united manager jose mourinho at his weekly press conference — instead, today he's been appearing in a spanish court. he has been accused of owing nearly three million pounds of undeclared image rights revenue. mourinho emerged after a brief hearing in the spanish capital madrid today. leaving court, he said he'd told thejudge he'd already paid an amount demanded by the authorities

to close the matter. the judge will now decide if the case needs to go to trial. it's been some week for 21—year—old harry winks. he was a key part of the tottenham team that beat real madrid on wednesday and he's also had another england call—up. winks is one of six spurs players selected by gareth southgate and he thinks it's down to the tottenham manager mauricio pochettino. for me personally he has done so much for me in my career, i can't thank him enough. it is very well documented how difficult it is for a young british player to get opportunities in the premiership. and you know, for me coming through the academy, all i have wanted to do is play for tottenham and get the opportunity. since he has come in, he has given me taster, early stage of my car reerk he gave me my debut, he kept me round the team, didn't send me on loan, obviously every timei send me on loan, obviously every time i get the opportunity to play i make sure try and repay that faith back to him. now the opening ashes test

in australia is less than three weeks away but england have had an injury scare to two key players. bowlers steven finn and moeen ali will miss the first two warm—up games. finn is struggling with a knee injury — although scans have shown it's not as serious as they feared. moeen has a side strain but he's hoped to be back in full training in a week or so. well england's first warm—up game is a two dayer against a western australia 11 starting in the early iam i am quietly confident about the way we have gone about the first few days of practise, it is important we play well, in these warm—up games. i look at the squad we have got and all bases are covered. it is is important we go on and make big scores at the back but we have a lot of experience this bowling department. guys that desperate to do well and prove a point to people back home. the other big sporting event going—on in australia is the rugby league world cup... to the hosts by beating lebanon tomorrow. but the lebanese are on the crest of a wave —

above england in their group after stunning france last weekend. 0ur rugby league correspondent dave woods sent us this england have been training in temperatures up to 35 degrees, in sydney, but the coach is not taking the heat off his team. as they prepare to face lebanon. we know we just have to play well, we know we need to do thins more consistently, the things we are getting right we have to do on a consistent basis, star forward sam burgess have to do on a consistent basis, starforward sam burgess should be back sooner than expected from a knee ligament injury but he will still be missing for this week's game as england take a step into the unknown. sydney may provide a familiar backdrop for the blair but they are up against unfamiliar opposition, they play lebanon for the first time ever. —— players.

lebanon are captained by robbie farah but they are postally pa rt—timers, farah but they are postally part—timers, so their win against france in nair opening game gave the coach real pride. the fact they won in the last ten minute, i thought the problem with them given they are not all professional, or not used to playing 80 minutes and having to concentrate for 80 minute, i thought the tough part would be the last ten minutes but they talk about the lebanese spirit and passion and it shone through. they may start as underdogs when they play england, there is no doubting the nat similar of the support these player also have. a 200,000 strong community, many thousands of which from sydney will go to watch the match on saturday night. but the former australian captains knows they are outsueders against england. we are 25-1. so outsueders against england. we are 25—1. so wow. really, i didn't think

we we re 25—1. so wow. really, i didn't think we were that far off. i don't think we were that far off. i don't think we are 25—1. we need some luck, i dare say a bit, it is not going to happen given they were beat by australia and they need to get through as well. but, you know, we need some luck. england's task will be to silence the crowd. lebanon will have a passionate support behind them. let's have a quick round up of the rest of the day's news. rafael nadal has withdrawn from the paris masters with a knee injury. the world number one was due play in the quarterfinals this afternoon but is suffering from a right knee problem and pulled out before the match. nadal says he'll "do his best" to make the season—ending atp tour finals in london later this month. england's eleanor givens shot the best round of the day at the abu dhabi open to move up to third going into tomorrow's final round.

an eagle and six birdies mean she's 12 under par — trailing india's aditi ashok by three shots at the top of the leaderboard. fellow englishwoman georgia hall is also contention despite a bogey on the 14th. she's just a shot behind givens. before we go, let me show you triple tour de france champion chris froome as you've never seen him before. no, he's not a yellow lawrence of arabia, but he could possibly have a career in martial arts movies after he stops racing bikes. this was the pre—race entertainment ahead of the saitama criterium injapan. as you can see, ninja froome is clearly not a man to be messed with after displaying his considerable throwing skills. let's head back to 0lly at hyde united. many thanks indeed. yes, we arejust over an hour away from kick off here, at hyde united in the 8th tyre

up here, at hyde united in the 8th tyre up against mk dons, the gates are open, 3,000 expected. i spent a couple of hours here and i was talking to their top scorer matt beadle. he has been here less than a year, he was a top scorer last season. he has been the man they look for, for their goal, already five in the tournament so far, he is upset he is going through a goal drought. he hasn't scored in two but he will be up front against league 0ne mk dons and he took me behind the scenes and told me what this clu b the scenes and told me what this club is all about. they are lined up, the shirt, are you getting excited about this, the biggest match of your career? yes, absolutely, first round of the fa cup, you know, it will be great to say that is something you have played in. ithink, you know it say that is something you have played in. i think, you know it is a chance where they don't come round too often. hopefully we will make sure we take our chance with it. think we have lost one game since the season started. we have in a

good solid position in the league. played a lot less games than other teams. that is partly because of your cup teams. that is partly because of yourcup run as teams. that is partly because of your cup run as well. absolutely. which has been fantastic. yes. already played five teams. six ties because one went to a replay. what does it mean to be in the first round proper, up against a team in league one. it is brilliant. it is real, you know, it feels real. what i would say over the past week, ten days whatever it has been, there has been no thought from the players' perspective while we have had league game, the manager drilled that into us. game, the manager drilled that into us. now it is here we prepare like any other game. describe to us where we are. this is the home dressing room. yes, this is the home dressing room. yes, this is the home dressing room. it would normally be there. this is your... in the corner so i have a bit space to chill and stuff, and one of the keeper sits next to me. yes, so all the boys in here.

normally me if i don't score! it is a really good atmosphere, i fully anticipate it to be really good one, yes. it should be a fantastic atmosphere tonight. matt bead, striker here, his dad peter, a good player with bristol rover, now manager at hereford, they play tomorrow. that phoenix club from the old hereford united that went bankrupt. telford have had their own financial worries as well. it's the tale of to cups born of bankruptcy. the fans carried a coffin through the streets to mark the death of their club. telford fa ns the death of their club. telford fans tried in vain to save their club, in 200a. but now both are back

and chasing glory in the fa cup. tomorrow, is a derby with a difference. it is quite local. hereford have been through a tough period but are on the up. so, and i think ourfans can period but are on the up. so, and i think our fans can empathise with that as well. they are used to winning so they will feel they have a real opportunity as well but it is fitting in a way that we are coming up fitting in a way that we are coming up against each other in the first round, it is a special occasion. steve edwards has been a telford fan for a0 year, he says that both clubs now rely on fan power. you need the fa ns to now rely on fan power. you need the fans to come in, to pay the bills because you have to rich chairman to support them, so you know, these clu bs support them, so you know, these clubs need the fans to turn out, which is why getting to the fa cup first round proper is important to these clubs. the roar tomorrow will be the biggest roar i think throughout the whole of the fa cup tomorrow. rob purdie made more than

a00 appearances for hereford over 11 year, today he stood at the meadow end, tomorrow it will be packed. the game isa end, tomorrow it will be packed. the game is a sell—out. a700 tickets sold, including 700 to telford fans. it's a roar, a noise you don't hear anywhere else. it gets you going. it puts their team off. this roar sends a wave through you, it makes the hair stand a wave through you, it makes the hairstand up on a wave through you, it makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. it pushes you forward. hereford and telford have proud histories in the fa cup. now they are glad to be taking part. hereford against telford, but tonight it is about hyde against mk dons, the chief executive is here. what a night this will be for the club. unbelievable. the last two
