Both Laverstock & Ford and Salisbury will be in the hat for the second qualifying round of the FA Draw later today.

Due to be released later today, the draw will be available at 1 pm via the FA's website and social media channels, featuring two sides based in South Wiltshire. 

National League South, Salisbury, enter the competition at this stage, whilst Laverstock and Ford have already had to play several games to reach this point. 

Liam McConnell's side have already overcome Cowes Sports, Horndean, Hythe and Dibden to reach this stage, equalling their best ever cup run in the process. 

Their cup campaign started back on the 2nd August with a tie away at Cowes Sports on the Isle of Wight, with the Bulldogs drawing 2-2 away before winning the replay 2-1 back at The Dell just a couple of days later. 

They then travelled to Horndean just a couple of weeks later, winning 2-0 on the road to set up another away tie against Hythe & Dibden. Laverstock passed that test too after coming from behind against 10 men. 

The home side were down to 10 men early on when their keeper was shown a red card for handling the ball outside the box. Despite this, Hythe & Dibden took the lead early in the second half before Lavvy fought back. 

Goals from Archie Lovegrove and Chae Sykes turned the tie around for McConnell's side and into the draw for the second qualifying round.
