BASINGSTOKE Town will be hoping history repeats itself, after being drawn away for the second year running to Dorchester in the first qualifying round of the FA Trophy.

Last year, the Dragons won 3-0 in Dorset thanks to goals from Nana Owusu, Aaron Redford and Sam Deadfield.

Town were then knocked out of the Trophy in the next round beaten 2-0 at Bath.

The first qualifying round game will take place at Dorchester on Saturday October 28.

The Dragons continue their pre-season campaign on Tuesday night, when National League side Eastleigh are the visitors.

Town boss Terry Brown is expected to put out a strong team for this Hampshire derby game.

It is expected Eastleigh will bring their first team, especially after their home game against AFC Wimbledon was postponed on Saturday, as their pitch was deemed unsafe.
