Spireites wait on replay result to find out FA Cup opponents

Chesterfield will host non-league opposition in the first round of the FA Cup.

They will take on either Leatherhead or Yeovil Town on the weekend of November 7.

Those two play each other in a fourth qualifying round replay tomorrow night at Huish Park after the first tie at Leatherhead on Saturday ended 3-3. Yeovil had been 2-0 up and then 3-2 down before snatching a late draw.

Yeovil have had a decent start in the National League, sitting fourth, while Leatherhead play two levels below in the Isthmian League’s Premier Division. They are in the bottom half.

The Spireites have never played Leatherhead in a competitive fixture but have crossed paths with Yeovil, most recently in the National League three years ago when the two drew 1-1 in north Derbyshire.

The two have played in the FA Cup twice before.

Chesterfield came out on top 3-1 in a third round tie at Saltergate back in 1950 and the two were drawn against each again in December 1977, Yeovil winning 1-0 in Somerset in a second round tie.
