A HOME tie is the reward for Salisbury Under-18s in the third qualifying round of the FA Youth Cup against AFC Bitton.

The teenagers secured a comfortable 2-0 victory at Aldershot Town last Wednesday night thanks to Ronan Clancy's spot kick and Sam Knight's strike.

This came after a bye in the second qualifying round due to the withdrawal of opponents Weymouth and a 4-2 first qualifying round win over Wimborne Town.

Whites' senior side have already played their Gloucestershire counterparts in the FA Cup this season, emerging as 5-0 victors - a result the under 18s will be looking to emulate when they face each other on Thursday, October 20 (7.45pm).

The winner will advance to the first round proper next month.
