CUP JACKPOT FOR YEOVIL
MINNOWS Yeovil have been handed their FA Cup dream – a fourth-round tie against Manchester United.
It’s the jackpot for Yeovil, the lowestranked side left in the competition, who beat League One Bradford in the third round at the weekend (right). Yeovil and United met in
the third round in 2015, with United running out 2-0 winners.
Darren Way’s side, fourth-bottom of League Two, are in round four for just the fourth time in their history. They had just 11 fit players on the Thursday before the Bradford tie and needed to sign four on loan to bolster their squad.
Giant-killers Newport also have a glamour tie to look forward to after being paired with Tottenham.
Newport, mid-table in League Two, made the fourth round for the first time since 1978-79 by dumping out Championship side Leeds.
