Iron to host Horsham in the last-16 of the Isuzu FA Trophy

Following Tuesday night's victory over Clitheroe, the Iron will welcome Horsham in the last-16 of the Isuzu FA Trophy, with the tie to take place on Saturday, January 31st (3pm kick-off).

United overcome tricky opposition in the Blues, needing until the second half until the deadlock was broken with Danny Whitehall scoring with his first touch before the side were pegged back to 1-1. Carlton Ubaezuonu would pop up with the winner before Jean Belehouan sealed the win.

The fourth round win would succeed a romping 5-0 win over Peterborough Sports, with the National League North side brushed away by Scunthorpe by a five-goal margin for the second time this calendar year following the league win back on Easter Monday. Goals on the day were scored by Dec Howe, Callum Roberts, Dubem Eze (two) and Max Brogan.

National League South side Horsham entered the competition in the second round, and first saw off Farnham Town 2-0 at home before emulating that scoreline away from home at Hemel Hempstead Town in Round Three. Meanwhile on Saturday, they edged out Leatherhead 3-2 away from home to set-up this latest tie at the end of the month.

To confirm, this encounter at Horsham on January 31st takes precedence over our league programme, and therefore our trip to Truro City has been postponed.

As soon as ticketing details have been confirmed, we will announce.
