Torquay United home draw in the FA Cup

Torquay United have been handed a home draw in the Fourth Qualifying Round of the FA Cup, against National League South side Hampton & Richmond.

The tie, to be played at Plainmoor on October 15, was the second to come out of the Southern Section of Monday's draw, and it gives Gary Johnson's Gulls a run of four October home games out of five in which to turn their slow-starting season around.

United lost 2-0 at home to the part-time 'Beavers' the last time they met at Plainmoor, but later in the 2018-2019 season they won 3-0 away under Johnson on their way to the NLS Championship.

The Thameside Surrey club is now 17th in that table under manager Gary McCann.

Former Dulwich Hamlet and Hendon boss McCann is a taxi-driver when he isn't leading Hampton, who beat Paulton Rovers 6-1 at home at the weekend to take their place at this stage.

The draw threw up an all-Somerset derby between Yeovil Town and Taunton Town, while Plymouth Parkway must travel to Hornchurch if they can overcome Oxford City in a Third Qualifying Round replay.

Hampshire's Havant & Waterlooville, who knocked Torquay out in a replay last season, will also be at home to Dorset's Weymouth.

Round winners will earn £9,375 in prizemoney, the losers £3,125.
