Huge incentive for Hastings in FA Cup

HASTINGS United will be at home to lower league opposition in the next round of the FA Cup if they can get past Hitchin Town.

The winners of tonight’s replay will entertain Wessex League Premier Division side Blackfield & Langley in the fourth qualifying round on October 20.

If the U’s emerge unscathed from what is bound to be a tough match at Hitchin’s Top Field ground they would be just one win away from the first round proper and a possible game against League opposition.
