EVESHAM United are on the FA Cup trail again this weekend as they seek to reach the third qualifying round for the first time in three seasons.

The Robins travel to Histon in Cambridgeshire (3pm) on Saturday for a second qualifying round clash which also carries a prize of £4,500 for the winners.

Paul Collicutt’s side have already won two matches to reach this stage of the competition having beaten Kidsgrove Athletic 3-1 and county rivals Redditch United 1-0 following a replay.

Victory at Histon, who play a level above Evesham in the Southern League Premier Division, would move them into the third qualifying round for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign.

Collicutt is relishing the challenge but admits his team will need to up their game after drawing 2-2 at home to North Leigh last weekend.

The United manager said: “There’s a bit of a buzz about the game because it’s the FA Cup.

“But it’s going to be a difficult game, as it was against Redditch. We have got to make sure we lift our game like we did against Redditch and if we do that we will give ourselves a chance.

“If we play like we did against North Leigh we will come away with nothing.”

Evesham have injury doubts over defender Linden Dovey (ankle), midfielder Marcus Jackson (calf) and striker Ashley Edenborough (illness/hamstring) after all three missed the North Leigh draw.

n Hereford United are in action at Edgar Street for the third time in a week as they seek to climb the Southern League Premier Division.

The Bulls host Hungerford Town (3pm) looking for their fourth win of the campaign and third in a row.

However, their progress has been blighted by Tuesday’s penalty shoot-out defeat to Cinderford in the Red Insure Cup.
