Salisbury looking to make history with tough trip to Chesham United

Salisbury travel to Chesham United to play their Isuzu FA Trophy Third Round tie on Saturday (7th December).

It's Salisbury's first time in the Third Round of the competition, having beaten Farnborough in the previous round to reach this stage.

Three goals in a 12-minute second-half spell from Noah Coppin (2) and Callum Watts did the damage, giving The Whites passage through the second round.

Chesham also overcame Vanarama National League South opponents in the second round, beating Chippenham Town at The Meadow.

Two second-half goals from Nathan Minhas set up the tie with Salisbury for their first-ever meeting in the FA Trophy. However, Salisbury City did play Chesham in the Trophy back in October 2010.

That game went to a replay, with 10-men City overcoming United at the Ray Mac, with Jake Reid scoring the winner.

Salisbury and Chesham are two sides that know each other well, having played each other 11 times since 2018. Chesham hold the upper hand in terms of the record against each other with seven wins from those 11 games, one draw and Salisbury have won the remaining three.

If this weekend's tie finishes level at 90 minutes, the match will go straight to a penalty shootout.

If you are not travelling to the game, you can listen to full match commentary on Salisbury Radio Sport. Listen on the Salisbury Radio App, on this website or on your Alexa by saying, "Play Salisbury Radio Sport". Coverage starts at 2:45pm.
