Braintree get an FA Cup home tie and it could be an Essex derby
Braintree Town have been handed a home tie in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup and it could be an Essex derby for the Iron.
Danny Cowley's team have been drawn against either Harlow Town or Bath City in a tie that is due to take place at the Avanti Stadium on October 24.
However, they will have to wait to see whether they will be facing their Essex neighbours or the side from the West Country.
Ryman League division north side Harlow and Bath, of the Vanarama National League South, are due to play a replay tomorrow after their initial third qualifying round meeting ended in a 2-2 draw on Saturday.
The fourth qualifying round encounter will be Braintree's first involvement in the FA Cup this season.
