FA Cup glory over Cornish side Bodmin Town this Saturday (3pm) would guarantee Shortwood United a trip to Southern Premier League Yate Town in the FA Cup First Qualifying round.

The Nailsworth minnows achieved their rite of passage to face Bodmin with an emphatic defeat of Western League Premier side Calne Town last Saturday. at the Extra Preliminary stage.

Goals from Tim Haddock (66) and Chris Davis(88) gave United a deserved scalp.

Meanwhile, Bodmin, from the Carlsberg South Western League, have made an unbeaten start to their league campaign with two wins and a draw and will provide Mark Sumpter's and Ian Freebrey's side a tough test.

Sumpter said: "We don't know a great deal about them, but we will go with a game plan and see what happens."

MATT GREEN has quit Shortwood and returned to Slimbridge. Green rejoined United during the summer. Craig Cole has also left Meadowbank.
