FA Trophy: Horsham FC to host former Championship club in quarter-finals
Horsham FC will host a former Championship club in the quarter-finals of the FA Trophy.
The Hornets will entertain National League heavyweights Southend United in the last eight of the competition.
The Shrimpers – who spent a season in the Championship in 2006-07 – reached the quarter-finals with a 1-0 win at Isthmian Premier outfit Chatham Town.
The tie will take place on Saturday, February 28 with ticket details to follow.
Horsham got through to the last eight for the first time in the club’s history with a famous 2-1 victory at former Football League club Scunthorpe United, coming from a goal down to win with goals from Reece Myles-Meekums and Jake Elliott.
Southend’s visit to West Sussex means Horsham’s National League South trip to Weston-super-Mare, planned for February 28, will need a new date.
