It's Watford in the Cup... Possibly


possible trip to Watford

Terry Skiverton's Yeovil Town have been drawn against Watford in the FA Cup third round, as long as they can get past Hartlepool United in their re-arranged second round fixture. 

The Glovers were due to play their second round match at Victoria Park yesterday but snow which has swept the country meant the game couldn't go ahead, guaranteeing the Green and Whites a place in third round draw.

Whoever wins the re-arranged match on the 7th of December will have to travel to Vicarage Road to take on Championship side Watford. 

Should the Glovers progress for the first time in six years they will face a stern test at Watford, who currently lie in 14th position. 

However, they are currently without a win in seven games, matching Yeovil who have the exact same current record. 

Should the Glovers have to face the Hornets it will be the first time that the two clubs have met, with the only slight link between the two clubs being Rob Kiernan, who had a brief spell with Yeovil earlier this season, and Billy Gibson who started his career at Watford. 

Lest us forget that to travel to London the Glovers must get past a Hartlepool United side which are currently on a good run of form. 

In recent weeks the Pools have picked up some good results, including a 3-1 win at home over league leaders Brighton & Hove Albion. 

If Yeovil do manage to progress past Hartlepool they will receive £27,000, with a further £67,500 being added to the bank account if the Hornets are defeated as well.
