The draws for the Emirates FA Cup and the Izuzu FA Vase were made today, 4th July 2025, and Waters now know who they will be facing in the competitions.

In the FA Cup extra preliminary round, Waters will have another away day trip as they have been drawn away to Gloucestershire side Thornbury Town, of the Hellenic League. The two sides have met previously back in 2018, when Thornbury town won a close game 2-1 in the Bluefin Sports Cup. Waters will be hoping for a better result this time around. The game is due to be played on the 2nd August, and the winners will be away to either North Leigh or Risborough Rangers in the preliminary round, which is scheduled for the 16th August.

In the FA Vase first qualifying round, Waters have been given a home tie against Dunstable Town on the 23rd August. The winners of that tie will be at home to Kempston Rovers, who have a bye, in the second qualifying round. That tie is scheduled to be played on the 20th September.
