“All the players will be looking to put themselves in the shop window for selection for the game as they will all want to play so, hopefully, that will pay dividends.

“We are all looking forward to it. It is not often you get to play a professional standard side. It will obviously be a tough game but it is really good for the club.”

Shoreham will also be hoping to produce a cup upset after being drawn at home to Conference South side Eastbourne Borough.
