ST ALBANS CITY are away to Dr Martens League Eastern Division side Wisbech Town on Saturday, November 3, in the first round of the FA Trophy.
The reward for victory in the tie is a tricky visit to trophy holders Canvery Island in the next round.
Freddie Hyatt will not feature for Saints as he has returned to Chelmsford City and young striker, Craig Mackail-Smith is likely to start in attack.
Corey Campbell is doubtful to start due to injury and club captain Derek Brown will definetley not start due to suspension.
Saints have only faced Town once before in 1996 when two Greg Howell goals clinched victory in the first round of the FA Cup, with St Albans going on to lose 9-2 to Bristol City in the second round.
If Saturday's game is drawn the replay will be at Clarence Park on Tuesday, November 6, with a 7.30pm kick-off. However, should there be a clear result on Saturday, Saints will be away to Hertford Town in the second round of the Herts Charity Cup with a 7.30pm kick-off.
Coach bookings for the trip to Wisbech are being taken by Ian Rogers on 07714 145862. The coach leaves Clarence Park on Saturday at 11.45am.
