Urchins find out their Semi-Final opponents

By Ian Townsend

Hornchurch are only one step from Wembley. But who is in the way? The draw has just been made

Maidstone United, Kings Lynn Town, Dulwich Hamlet, Tonbridge Angels, Darlington! Hornchurch went into this afternoon's FA Trophy Semi-Final draw knowing that they'd have to defeat higher-league opposition for a sixth time, and now we know who that opposition will be, as Notts County came out of the velvet bag.

County are currently seventh in the National League, albeit with games in hand over all of the sides above them bar one. They reached this stage by defeating Oxford City, Havant and Waterlooville, Stockport County and Morpeth Town- and they won't be unknown to watchers of the Isthmian League, as they defeated Aveley in last season's Quarter Finals.

Match to be played at Meadow Lane, on Saturday 27th March 2021. Winning clubs will pick up £15,000 from the competition prize fund while the runners-up will collect £5000.
