HEREFORD United were handed an excellent chance to progress into the last eight of the FA Trophy after being drawn away at Eastwood Town in the fifth round.
The Badgers are the lowest placed club remaining in the competition, currently lying ninth in the UniBond Division One, and they host the Bulls at their Coronation Park ground on Saturday, February 26.
Eastwood entered the last 16 after dumping out Hayes in the fourth round 1-0 and clinching a 3-2 victory over Spennymoor at the previous stage.
Hereford's progression in the Trophy has taken in a replay victory over Accrington Stanley and last Saturday's comfortable 3-0 win against Hyde United at Edgar Street.
United's first-team coach John Trewick said: "We would have liked to have been at home, but Eastwood are the lowest placed club left.
"They are doing well in their league this season. It won't be easy at their ground. I'm sure it will be a tough, uncompromising game."
