No fewer than 20 U*BET FA Trophy second round matches will be played between Friday the 25th and Sunday the 27th October, with 33 First, Second and Third Division teams involved as well as seven teams from Gozo.  The matches will be played in six different venues, namely Centenary Stadium, Victor Tedesco Stadium, Luxol Stadium, Charles Abela Stadium, Sirens Stadium and Gozo Stadium. Some very interesting and keen tussles are expected, with the topmost match being between Hamrun Spartan and neighbours Pieta Hotspurs scheduled for Sunday the 27th of the month at the Centenary Stadium. There is also the all-Gozitan clash between Oratory Youths and Victoria Hotspurs on Saturday, a derby which is expected to draw a sizeable crowd to the Gozo Stadium. Other crowd pullers should be the matches between St George’s and Zabbar St Patrick and Zejtun against Gudja. The three-day card, from which 20 teams will proceed to the third round of the competition, comprises five matches on Friday, seven on Saturday and eight on Sunday. The full programme is as follows: Friday 25th October 201318:00 - Second Round - Birzebbuga St. Peter's vs Msida St. Joseph - Centenary Stadium20:00 - Second Round - Zejtun Corinthians vs Gudja United - Centenary Stadium19:30 - Second Round - Gharghur vs Mellieha - Luxol Stadium18:00 - Second Round - St. George's vs Zabbar St. Patrick - Victor Tedesco Stadium20:15 - Second Round - Zebbug Rangers vs Dingli Swallows - Victor Tedesco Stadium Saturday 26th October 201316:00 - Second Round - Ta' Xbiex vs Pembroke Athleta - Charles Abela Stadium18:15 - Second Round - Senglea Athletic vs Kirkop United - Charles Abela Stadium16:00 - Second Round - Oratory Youths vs Victoria Hotspurs - Gozo Stadium16:00 - Second Round - Lija Athletic vs Xewkija Tigers - Luxol Stadium18:15 - Second Round - Swieqi United vs Siggiewi - Luxol Stadium16:00 - Second Round - Sirens vs Marsa - Sirens Stadium18:15 - Second Round - Mgarr United vs St. Andrews - Sirens Stadium   Sunday 27th October 201316:00 - Second Round - Hamrun Spartans vs Pieta' Hotspurs - Centenary Stadium18:00 - Second Round - Zurrieq vs Gzira United - Centenary Stadium14:00 - Second Round - Kercem Ajax vs Luqa St. Andrews - Gozo Stadium16:00 - Second Round - Xaghra United vs Mqabba - Gozo Stadium16:00 - Second Round - Fgura United vs Mdina Knights - Luxol Stadium18:15 - Second Round - Marsaxlokk vs San Gwann - Luxol Stadium16:00 - Second Round - Melita vs Nadur Youngsters - Sirens Stadium18:15 - Second Round - Marsaskala vs S.K.
