OXFORD City general manager Justin Merritt has welcomed a home tie against Marlow in the third qualifying round of the FA Trophy.

City, who are second in Vanarama National League South, will face the Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West side at Marsh Lane on November 29.

Merritt said: “It’s a good draw.

"There are a lot of teams in our league and at our level that have all been drawn against each other so you are always hopeful of a home draw against lower opposition and that is what we have got.

"We’re pleased to be at home."
