Yeovil Town have been drawn away to Leatherhead in the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round, with a place in the first round proper and a £9,375 prize fund on the line. The tie is scheduled for the weekend of 17 October at Fetcham Grove, the home of Isthmian Premier Division side Leatherhead.
Venue and history
The match will be played at Fetcham Grove, a traditional non-league ground with a capacity of around 2,000 where Yeovil Town won 1-0 in an FA Trophy meeting back in the 1978/79 season. The Glovers will be looking to use this cup run as a positive distraction from a difficult league campaign that saw them finish 16th in the National League with 51 points.
Match details
The exact date and kick-off time for the fixture are still to be confirmed, with ticket information to be announced by the club in due course. Manager Billy Rowley remains in charge as the team prepares for the tie, which offers a clear path to the competition's first round for the first time in decades.
Cup context
The winner of the tie will progress to the Emirates FA Cup First Round Proper, while the losing side will receive £3,125. This cup challenge comes ahead of Yeovil Town's next league fixture, a home game against 13th-placed Altrincham on 24 October.
