Tanners handed tough cup draw
LEATHERHEAD have been handed another tough draw in the quarter-final of the Isthmian League Cup.
The Tanners will have to beat another team higher than them in the football pyramid if they are to make it through to the semi-finals, after being drawn away to Fleet Town.
The Hampshire side currently sit third in Ryman League South and have only lost three home games this season.
The Tanners have got this far having seen off the challenges of Burgess Hill Town and Godalming in the previous two rounds.
Manager Mick Sullivan was disappointed not to have been handed a home draw.
He said: "I was hoping for anyone at home, but we're away and it's a tough one, but we have got to go there and try and get a result and we are capable of that.
"The draw has not been kind to us and this game has got to be played on a Thursday and I just hope they will have a Tuesday game beforehand like us, otherwise it will be really unfair on us."
The Tanners have never won the competition before.
The draw in full:
Croydon Athletic v Lowestoft Town
Concord Rangers/Billericay Town or Sittingbourne v Wealdstone
Fleet Town v Leatherhead
Aveley v Canvey Island
