Boston Town have been given a very tough draw in the last 64 of the FA Vase – away at Worcester City.
It’s the first time the Poachers have made it to the 3rd round proper of the competition since 2012-13. Only twice before in their history have they progressed beyond this stage.
The tie is scheduled to take place on Saturday 2 December, kick-off 3pm.
It promises to be a tough game for Martyn Bunce’s side against the Hellenic League Premier Division leaders.
It’s a 280-mile trip from Boston to Worcester, who beat Sleaford 2-0 in the 1st round.
It will be the first time the clubs have ever met and the Poachers can expect there to be a good atmosphere as Worcester attract average home crowds of more than 500.
There’s £1,125 prize money up for grabs and the winners will be only 4 wins from a place in the Wembley final.
Worcester City were once of the strongest sides in non-league football, finishing 3rd in the Alliance Premier League (now the National League) in 1979-80.
They also boast a formidable giantkilling pedigree in the FA Cup, having beaten Liverpool in 1958-59 and Coventry City as recently as 2014-15.
- We’re running a coach to Worcester City on Saturday 2 December. It’s one of the biggest trips in the club’s recent history so make sure you book you place quickly! Seats are £18 – reserve yours by calling 07947 314051
