Potters Bar Town were this week preparing for one of the biggest matches in their history.

The Scholars travel to Margate on Saturday hoping to move another step closer to FA Cup glory.

Victory in Kent will see them through to the fourth qualifying round of the competition and a possible lucrative clash against a Conference side.

But it is a huge task for manager Andy Leese and his troops.

Margate are in the Ryman League Premier Division, one division above Town, and currently gunning for promotion to Conference South.

Leese, speaking after Saturday's 3-3 draw at Wingate & Finchley, in which the Scholars threw away a two-goal lead, said: "Margate are top draw and we are going to have to smarten up for this Saturday."

A coach for supporters will be going to the game, departing Parkfield at 10.30am. The fare is £15.

The match at Hartsdown Park kicks off at 3pm.
