TODAY'S draw for the FA Trophy third qualifying round has thrown up a Hampshire derby.
Havant & Waterlooville will host Basingstoke Town in an all-National League South clash on November 28.
Both teams are at the wrong end of the table, with Basingstoke currently carrying the weight of the entire division on their shoulders.
Lee Bradbury’s Havant are 16th, but have been buoyed by back-to-back 3-1 league victories over Oxford City and Maidenhead United.
Basingstoke, smashed 5-0 at Concord Rangers in the league on Saturday, have signed 27-year-old striker Guiseppe Sole on a month’s loan from Woking.
Alex Pike’s Gosport Borough, Trophy finalists in 2014, have been drawn away to Cirencester Town of the Evo-Stik Southern Premier.
The Centurians booked their ticket to the third qualifying round by beating Tonbridge Angels 2-1 in Kent on Saturday – on-loan Cheltenham winger Zack Kotwica hitting a brace.
Jason Matthews’ Weymouth, 4-1 victors at Bedford Town on Saturday, face a tough test at National League South side Hemel Hempstead Town.
