EVO-STIK Northern Premier League clubs dominate a feature on the Emirates FA Cup in the current issue of FourFourTwo magazine.

Romulus, new boys Shaw Lane Aquaforce, former NPL outfit Quorn and Runcorn Linnets, the club set up by fans following the demise of Runcorn FC Halton in 2006, all get an entry in the hit football magazine's feature on clubs in the cup with the most unusual names.

Others who get a mention include Northern League outfits Billingham Synphonia and West Allotment Celtic, Coventry Sphinx from the Midland League, Handsworth Parramore from the Northern Counties East Football League and Leicester Nirvana of the United Counties League.

The draw for the first qualifying round of the Emirates FA Cup is due to be published by the Football Association at lunchtime on Monday ahead of next weekend's preliminary round action when EVO-STIK NPL First Division North and First Division South clubs enter the world's oldest cup competition.
