Trio have their carrots to progress!

12 Dec 2016 By David Watters

EVO-STIK League Southern North Leigh could be heading to Tranmere Rovers in the next round of the Buildbase FA Trophy while Royston Town and Weymouth could be meeting following Monday lunchtime's draw for the second round proper.

All three EVO-STIK League Southern clubs still have work to face their next opponents in Non-League's showpiece competition on Saturday 14 January.

To travel to either Whitehawk or Weymouth, the Crows, flying high at the top of the EVO-STIK League Southern Division One Central table, must first get past Ryman Premier Dulwich Hamlet on Tuesday night after being held to a 2-2 draw in south London on Saturday in the first round.

To meet them in the latter stages of the competition in 2017, the Terras are preparing to host National League South Whitehawk in Dorset on Tuesday night after the EVO-STIK League Southern Premier Division club's 2-2 on the south coast at the weekend.

With a former Football League club awaiting the winners of their replay, also on Tuesday night, EVO-STIK League Southern Division One South & West North Leigh have arguably the biggest carrot of all to beat South Park after drawing 1-1 with the Ryman South club in Surrey on Saturday.

As well as place in the third round, winning clubs bank £6,000 in prize money to add to the £5,000 first round winners collect.
