Yeovil Town have been drawn away at old rivals Bath City in the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round.

The match - due to police advice - has been switched to Sunday, October 27, with a 12 noon kick-off.

It will be the first time the two sides have met in competitive action since January 13, 2001, when Yeovil beat Bath 2-1 at Huish Park in the FA Umbro Trophy with goals from James Bent and Darren Way.

Yeovil boss Gary Johnson said: "It is great for the fans in particular to have drawn against a side within an hour's drive of Huish Park.

"I'm sure it will be a typical local derby match and we will be giving Bath all the respect they deserve at Twerton Park."

The game will see Yeovil come up against two old boys - namely strikers Jason Eaton and Adrian Foster.

The match will not be all-ticket, although there will be limited space in the stand at Twerton Park for Yeovil supporters.
