DORCHESTER Town and Portland United have discovered their next opponents in the Isuzu FA Trophy and Isuzu FA Vase respectively.

Dorchester are given a bye to the FA Trophy third qualifying round and will travel to divisional rivals Merthyr Town.

The two sides met on the first day of the Pitching In Southern League Premier South season, when Merthyr overturned a 1-0 deficit to win 3-1.

Last season, the Magpies bowed out at this stage after a 2-0 defeat by Plymouth Parkway.

Winners at this stage of the FA Trophy take home £2,450 with the losers pocketing £625.

FA Vase first-round winners secure £825, with the losers compensated £250.

Both competitions will not hold replays, with penalties deciding games level after 90 minutes.
