Trevor Senior’s Bridgwater Town will no doubt still be celebrating as they produced the biggest upset of the fourth round to dispose of last season’s champions Winchester City with a stunning 2-0 win.

They now face an intriguing home showdown with AFC Sudbury who will not relish a tie against a team who have won eight consecutive home games.

Didcot Town’s Vase dream was kept alive as they swept aside Ledbury Town 2-0 in the last round. They now face a tough tie against last season’s semi finalists, Colne from the North West Counties Division 1, who disposed of Bodmin on Saturday.

AFC Newbury, currently challenging Winchester for the Wessex League title, and who squeezed to a 1-0 win against Northern Counties East outfit, Thackely travel to Soham Town Rangers who overcame West Allotment Celtic 3-1.

Frome Town dispatched Skelmersdale United 2-0 at the weekend and their reward is a home tie against Ryman League Division 2 side, Brook House who scored twice in the last minute of extra time against Pickering Town to squeeze through.

Bury Town who beat Potton United on Saturday, now entertain Lymington & New Milton who are currently seventh in the Sydenhams Wessex League Division 1. The Blues were knocked out in the third round last season whilst the Linnets went one better and progressed to the fourth.
