Dorchester Town and Wey-mouth will renew their rivalry after being drawn to meet in the Second Qualifying Round of the FA Cup.

The two Nationwide South clubs will clash in front of what should be a huge Avenue Stadium crowd on October 2.

In arguably the glamour tie of the round, both sides will share gate receipts with what is likely to be another 4,000 plus crowd.

Magpies boss Mark Morris said the game would be a major financial boost for Dorchester.

He told Echosport: "Every penny counts for a club like ours so from that point of view to draw Weymouth is great news.

"It is probably the most attractive tie of the round and I'm sure our fans are looking forward to it.

"In a way it is a shame that the game had to come so early on in the FA Cup because it would have been fantastic for the area if both teams progressed.

"But unfortunately that is not going to be and we're just going to have to make sure that we are the ones celebrating.

"We're certainly not going to fear Weymouth because although they have some excellent players and it will be tough, I'm confident we can get a good result.

"My lads will all be looking forward to it but I want us to concentrate on the games between now and October first."

And Morris played down the fact Dorchester appear to have the Indian sign on Weymouth in recent cup times.

The Terras have managed to win only two cup games between the sides in the last 13 meetings.

"Statistics mean nothing in football and I'm certain that won't be a factor this time around," Morris said.

"What matters is who wants it the most on the day and that will be the case again next month."

The derby will be the first major meeting since the Magpies and Terras drew a stormy Dr Martens Premier Division contest 2-2 in the county town on January 1 this year.

That day saw Dorchester midfielder Jamie Brown and Weymouth player-boss Steve Claridge both sent off after a

late clash, with the pair also involved

in a scuffle in the Avenue Stadium car park.

And the controversy did not end there as hordes of visiting fans complained of overcrowding and poor matchday organisation from their old rivals.

Claridge admitted he was looking forward to the FA Cup derby despite the events last January.

He said: "It is going to be a great spectacle for the fans and I'm sure we'll have great backing up there once again.

"It is a shame the draw is regionalised at this stage of the competition because it would have been nice to have had an easy home tie.

"But local derbies are always great occasions, even more so in the FA Cup, and I'm sure this one will be no different."
