Sports, who are three points clear at the top of the United Counties Premier Division, will host Eastern Counties Premier Division side Swaffham Town at PSL on Saturday, October 22.

Swaffham are without a win in nine league games this season. Sports beat Eastern Counties Premier Division leaders Mildenhall 3-1 away from home in a qualifying round tie on Saturday (September 24) when Swaffham were winning 4-1 at UCL strugglers Huntingdon.

Yaxley have also drawn Eastern Counties Premier Division opposition, but their game will be a lot tougher, The Cuckoos will entertain sixth-placed Stanway Rovers at In2itive Park.
