Brian Statham almost broke the football manager's code when announcing he was delighted with Heybridge Swifts' latest FA Trophy draw.

Swifts have been paired at home with Nationwide South bottom-half-of-the-table side Bognor Regis Town, in the third qualifying round.

And the successful Scraley Road boss said: "I'm as happy as any manager can be, but you know managers - we're never happy.

"To get a home draw against a club from a higher league is as good as it gets at this stage.

"We'll have the Rocks watched and do our diligent job on them, leaving no stone unturned as we look to progress further in the competition.

Elsewhere in the draw, Braintree Town have been paired with fellow Conference South side Sutton United, at Gander Green Lane.
