COACH John Trewick believes Hereford United have a "good opportunity" of progressing into the last four of the FA Trophy following the quarter-final draw.
The Bulls will host Nationwide North side Hucknall Town on Saturday, March 12, if Graham Turner's troops finish off Eastwood Town at Edgar Street in tonight's fifth round replay.
It meant Hereford swerved fellow Conference sides Exeter City, Woking, Burton Albion, Canvey Island and Gravesend, along with highly fancied Nationwide South leaders Grays Athletic.
Hucknall made it through to the last eight after beating Nationwide South high-flyers Cambridge City 1-0.
Victims in previous rounds have included Northwich Victoria, Nationwide North leaders Southport and Radcliffe Borough of the UniBond Premier.
"We think that's a good draw," said Trewick. "Again it's a good incentive to get through to the next round. There is a good opportunity to get through to the semi-finals.
"Hucknall are mid-table in Nationwide North and I've actually seen them play at Redditch earlier this season. They are not a bad side. They have one or two players who are above that level.
"It should whet the appetite for our supporters but, of course, that's on the back burner for the moment. We have got to make sure we beat Eastwood to give ourselves that opportunity. Eastwood will be just as pleased with the draw and they will want to get through."
Other ties in the last eight see Burton Albion host Woking, Grays take on Exeter City and Gravesend visit either Canvey Island or Bishop's Stortford.
