Yeovil Town will host Southern League Premier Division Central side Alvechurch in the fourth round of the FA Trophy next month.
The Midlands side put out National League North side Alfreton Town after a penalty shoot-out in last weekend’s third round and will head to Huish Park on Saturday 10th January.
The Worcestershire-based side sit just above the relegation zone in their division, which is two steps below Yeovil in the football pyramid, having played a few less games than some of the teams around them.
Former Premier League winning goalkeeper Tim Flowers resigned as manager at the end of November following a seven-gaming losing run, with ex-Solihull Moors midfielder Kyle Storer taking over in interim charge. They have midfielder Sam Perry, who played for Yeovil 12 times on loan from from Walsall during the Chris Hargreaves era at the start of the 2022-23 campaign, in their squad.
If the game goes to penalties again, be warned that Alvechurch have some pedigree. They have won all their three Trophy ties in shoot-outs this season, dispensing of Real Bedford and Worcester City as well as Alfreton Town.
The Glovers needed spot kicks to progress to the fourth round after seeing off National League South side Maidstone United with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out win at the weekend.
Did we hear banana’s being mentioned?
Pretty good in penalty shootouts. Beat Basford, Worcester, Real Bedford, and Alfreton in the trophy…all games went to pens.
