Emirates FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round
Saturday 6th October
Focus turns back to the Emirates FA Cup this weekend, Dowse's side playing host to Kempston Rovers in the Third Qualifying Round, with £15,000 and a place in the next round at stake.
Woking defeated Tooting & Mitcham United in the previous round, Oxford United loanees Harvey Bradbury & Armani Little providing the goals, the former getting a hat-trick on only his second appearance for the Cards.
Kempston defeated Marlow 1 - 0 in their FA Cup match, the first time they have reached the Third Qualifying Round since 1980, Harlem Sambu scoring the only goal.
Ticket prices for this match have again been reduced, with Adults paying £10, Concessions £5, and Under 16s £1, so bring all your friends and family down to The Laithwaite Community Stadium for this Emirates FA Cup match!
Woking Team News
Dowse will be hoping that Armani Little has recovered from his injury, the midfielder missing from the Cards' 2 - 2 draw against Torquay United last weekend. Craig Ross looks set to keep his place in goal, the new signing played for Leatherhead previously this season but isn't cup-tied. Harvey Bradbury is unlikely to be fit for this match following his injury, but Dowse has three other forwards to choose from, Jake Hyde the most likely to start.
Kempston Rovers Team News
Rovers are jointly managed by Jimmy Stoyles & Gary Flinn, and sit in 15th place in the Evo-Stick South Division One Central league, and are on a good run having won their last four matches, which have all been in cup competitions.
Jermaine Hall is Kempston's in-form striker, having scored four goals in his last two appearances. Shane Bush is likely to partner Hall up top. They're captained by midfielder Kyal McNulty.
