Away tie for Peterborough Sports in the FA Trophy, but Stamford have another home draw if they can upset Hereford United

It’s another tough draw for the city side who claimed a shock 1-0 win at another step two side Bath City at the weekend courtesy of a Mark Jones goal.

Oxford, who are managed by former Posh player and coach David Oldfield, are currently fifth in the National League South table - Bath are 19th. Oldfield masterminded a surprise 2-1 FA Cup win over Northampton Town earlier this season.

Young Posh centre-back Sam Cartwright is currently on loan at City.

“It’s a tough draw made harder by the fact they play on a 4G pitch,” Sports boss Jimmy Dean said. “The artificial surface is the most disappointing part of the draw.

“But we will prepare well and go there confident of giving them a good game.

“It’s a big game and one we will look forward to.”

Sports had never previously travelled past the first round of the FA Trophy.

Stamford AFC will host Kettering Town or Leamington in the fifth round if they can beat Hereford United in a delayed fourth round tie at the Zeeco Stadium tomorrow (January 19, 7.45pm).

The fifth round ties will be played on the weekend of February 6/7.
