It is the draw, and location, Frome Town FC were hoping for.

They will be playing Torquay United FC, at home, on December 9 in the latest round of the FA trophy following their thrilling penalty win against Worthing on Saturday.

The Robins' fans could not be happier and they are hoping for another record crowd. There were just short of 600 who watched the match at Badgers Hill on November 18.

The announcement had fans buzzing and the team posted : " Another chance for the BA11 faithful to get behind the giant-slaying Robins again at Badgers Hill! "

Meantime the manager of the seaside side has given his reaction with this on their social feed.

Gary Johnson has given his reaction to Monday's Isuzu FA Trophy 3rd Round draw, after his United side were drawn to face Frome Town away.

With the Somerset-based outfit currently riding high in Southern League Division One South, and with Danny Greaves' side having dispensed of United's National League South rivals Worthing on penalties last weekend, Johnson knows The Gulls will face a tough test in their bid to continue their FA Trophy journey.

"It's an interesting one, as always," said the United boss.

"They're in the Southern League Division One South, and Frome Town are going very well this season – they're 4th at the moment. Wimborne are top of that league, but if Frome win their games in hand, they can go top.

"The manager has been there a few years now, and I think at this moment in time they're a progressive Club. When a side takes on Worthing and beats them, we know they've got something about them.

"We know the standard, so we can't take them lightly, and of course, we want to get through to the next round as much as they do."

Tickets for the Frome match - kick off at 3pm December 9 - on the gate.
