Thurrock thrilled with Oxford tie

FA Cup
The game is one of the biggest in the history of Thurrock FC

Oxford's FA Cup fourth qualifying round opponents Thurrock admit the Kassam Stadium tie is the biggest game in most of their players' careers.

The Essex side - third in Blue Square South - visit Oxford on 24 October.

"It's unbelievable, probably the game of their career," Thurrock chairman Tommy South told BBC Oxford.

"We'll be looking forward to it, it's fantastic for the club and a really good test for us. You never know - it's a lovely banana skin, isn't it?"

"We will be up and ready for it, in the nicest possible way."
