Highworth manager John Fisher will go head to head with former Liverpool star Nicky Tanner in the first round of the FA Vase.

Yesterday's draw handed Fisher's troops a trip to Tanner's Screwfix League outfit Welton Rovers.

Fairford face a tough home tie with much-vaunted university side Team Bath, while Calne travel to Shortwood United.

Corsham Town should have a new manager in charge by the time they host Backwell, and Devizes will be tested at Falmouth.

Melksham Town, who made the final 32 last year, host fellow Screwfix Premier side Paulton Rovers.
