Giant-killers can take revenge for cup exit!

By David Watters

FA Trophy Second Round Draw

Burgess Hill Town's giant-killers will face another side three leagues above them in the FA Trophy after drawing Dartford in the competition's second round proper.

The Ryman South club, 1-0 conquerors of Conference Premier Aldershot Town at the weekend, were handed the chance to take revenge for their 3-1 defeat in the FA Cup's Fourth Qualifying Round at Dartford's Princes Park in Monday lunchtime's draw for the round of 32 at Wembley Stadium.

The Hillians - the only team in the top eight levels of English football still to taste league defeat this season - will host the Darts at their Green Elephants Stadium on Saturday 10 January.

Ian Chapman's side - the Ryman League's remaining flag-bearers in this season's competition after their heroics at the Shots on Saturday - will collect £6,000 in prize money if they can overcome their Conference Premier opponents on home turf when they meet for the second time this season.
