What were the biggest upsets of the 2022/23 FA Cup first round?
The biggest story of the first round came as seventh-tier Alvechurch dumped out League One Cheltenham with a 2-1 victory.
The lowest-ranked side still in the competition took the lead through Danny Waldron before he added another early in the second half before Ryan Jackson pulled one back for the hosts. However, Alvechurch held on to record a victory over a side 96 places above them in the football pyramid.
Chippenham also enjoyed a cupset over League One opposition. The National League South side were triumphant over Lincoln thanks to Joe Hanks’ 44th-minute strike. Fellow sixth-tier outfits Farnborough and King’s Lynn also managed surprise victories over League Two sides Sutton and Doncaster respectively.
