Worthing FC and Bognor Regis Town have discovered their potential FA Trophy fourth round opponents following yesterday evening’s draw.

The Mackerel Men and the Rocks play this [Tuesday, December 20] evening after their respective trips to Maidstone United and Banbury United were postponed on Saturday due to frozen pitches.

Victory in Kent will see Worthing welcome either National League leaders Notts County or mid-table National League North outfit Chorley to the Crucial Environmental Stadium.
