Tough away tie for Salisbury in the FA Trophy Third Round

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 05:55

Salisbury have been drawn to play Chesham United away in the Third Round of the Izusu FA Trophy.

The game is scheduled to be played on Saturday, 7th December 2024.

The draw took place on Monday (18th November) afternoon, and Salisbury was ball number 23 on the southern section of the draw.

Salisbury have reached this stage after overcoming National League South rivals Farnborough and now face another team from the same division.

It's the first time that the Whites have reached this stage of the competition and face a team performing well so far this season. Both Salisbury and Chesham won promotion from the Southern League Premier South last season, with Chesham as champions.

Chesham are currently 10th in the Vanarama National League South table and beat Chippenham Town two-nil in the second round to reach this stage.

Brian Dutton gave his thoughts on the tie, "Obviously, both sides know each other very well. Chesham have had a great start to this campaign, overachieving in the league and the FA Cup. It’s a really tough place to go but we will look forward to it and enjoy the battle."
