GULLS AT HOME TO WINCHESTER IN FOURTH QUALFYING ROUND

Torquay United's reward for coming away from a near marathon journey to Brightlingsea Regent with a win is a home tie with Winchester City in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.

A first half Jamie Reid penalty set the Gulls on their way in deepest Essex. This was followed in the second half by skipper Asa Hall heading home his third goal of the season before Bristol City loanee completed the scoring with his second of his loan spell from Ashton Gate to set up a tie with the Citizens, who play in the Evo-Stik Southern League Division One South and West.

Tiverton Town will have to go again against the Metropolitan Police after drawing 3-3 at Ladysmead; the reward of a home tie with National League outfit Havant and Waterlooville awaits them should they win their replay.

The only way could be Essex for Taunton Town, who could be travelling to National League South big spenders Billericay Town if they overcome St Albans City, also from National League South, on Wednesday night.
