Magpies given home draw

Dorchester have been given a home draw against Hungerford Town in The FA Cup Second Qualifying Round.

The Magpies are competing in the competition after weeks of speculation about their participation due to issues surrounding former owner Eddie Mitchell and his connections to AFC Bournemouth.

Hungerford, who currently play in the Zamaretto League Division One South & West, have already played two games in the competition beating Moneyfields 4-3 and dispatching Bristol Manor Farm 4-0 on Saturday.

The Crusaders and the Magpies have met in the competition before with Dorchester coming out on top with a 2-1 victory in the 1981-82 season, en route to their best ever performance, eventually taking Bournemouth to a replay in the Second Round proper.

Last season saw the Magpies take Blue Square Premier Oxford United to extra time in a replay in the First Round whilst opponents Hungerford crashed out on penalties in the Extra Preliminary Round to Marlow United.

The tie will take place on Saturday 26th September with a 3.00pm kick off.
