Friday, 25 August 2023 01:00

Laverstock & Ford's FA Cup tie against Gosport Borough has been moved to the Friday evening after an agreement was reached.

Both clubs were keen to move the tie to Friday evening, with the added factor that Salisbury FC also have a home FA Cup tie the same weekend.

The game will now kick-off at 7:45 pm on Friday, 1st September, at The Dell in Laverstock, with a good-sized crowd expected.

The game sees Wessex Premier League side Laverstock welcome one of the strongest Southern League Premier South sides to the home of the Bulldogs.

Gosport are unbeaten so far this season (at the time of writing) and have only conceded one goal, scoring 10 in their first four league outings.

Lavvy have already played two games to get to the first qualifying round of the FA Cup, beating Andover New Street and then Blackfield and Langley to set up the tie
