FA Cup prize money: How much second-round progress will be worth to Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley, Portsmouth and Derby County

Three Yorkshire clubs will be aiming to advance into the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday as Championship and Premier League sides prepare to enter.

Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Harrogate Town successfully came through the first round with 20 teams aiming to book their place in round three when the 44 teams from the English second tier and top flight enter.

The Yorkshire trio earned £41,000 from winning their first FA Cup ties of the season and another £67,000 will bolster their coffers if they win their fixtures on Saturday afternoon.
