Local sides find out the draw for the FA Cup Second Qualifying Round

Laverstock and Ford FC and Salisbury FC have found out who they will face in the next round of the FA Cup and for Laverstock it's potentially huge.

Salisbury will travel to play AFC Stoneham of the Wessex League Premier Division in the second round. 

Stoneham have already overcome Moneyfields, Milbrook and Fleet Town to reach this stage of the competition. 

The other local side still in the cup are Laverstock and Ford who face a replay with Bishops Cleeve tomorrow evening - if they win that game, they will face a home tie against Torquay United in the second round. 

Laverstock have already beaten Cowes Sports and Bemerton Heath Harlequins and drew away at Bishops Cleeve on Saturday after an exciting 1-1 draw. 

Laverstock and Ford manager Liam McConnell told Salisbury Radio, "We're really looking forward to the tie. It was a tough game on Saturday. We were close to winning it, but obviously, they equalised right near the end. But they're a great side from the Southern League, so it's a big, big game, but a good opportunity for us being at home.

"And of course, with the news of the draw this afternoon, whoever wins, you know, has the pleasure of hosting Torquay United, which for us to have our name associated to them is just unprecedented and quite frankly, quite mental for our village club so that we've got a big job to do tomorrow night. But if we can overcome that, then, you know, boy, what a second round draw that is.

"We've got to be fully focused tomorrow. Huge game, huge opportunity. We'll need all the support we can get. So if we can get as many people down the Dell to pack it out, that'll be fantastic."
