Horsham play a level below Sports in the Isthmian League Premier Division – they are currently eighth -, but they drew 3-3 at League One promotion contenders Barnsley in the FA Cup first round earlier this season.

The Tykes won the replay 3-0, but were then thrown out of the competition for fielding an ineligible player. Horsham were reinstated, but lost 3-0 at League Two strugglers Sutton United in the second round.

Sports are through to the last 32 of the competition so four more wins would mean a May trip to Wembley!

They beat the National League Daggers 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

The fourth round tie is scheduled for Saturday, January 13.

Sports are back in National League North action on Tuesday when visiting next-to-bottom Gloucester City.
