CHIPPENHAM Park's reward for reaching the second round proper of the FA Vase is a home tie with local rivals Bradford Town.

Dave Ferris' Park side beat Hellenic League Premier Division Ardley United 2-1 last weekend thanks to goals from George Nash and Mark Robinson and will be up against higher league opposition again when they take on Paul Shanley's Bradford at Hardenhuish Park.

Bradford beat Wiltshire League giant-killers Malmesbury Victoria 5-3 in the first round proper, with Sam Jordan hitting four goals and Twaine Plummer also on the scoresheet.

The second round tie is scheduled to take place on November 22, although Park's stable-mates Chippenham Town have a home fixture in the Southern League on that day.

Meanwhile, Melksham Town have been drawn at home to Toolstation League Premier Division rival Slimbridge.

A Gary Higdon brace saw Darren Perrin's side progress past Hellenic League leaders Highmoor Ibis 2-1 last weekend.
