Royal Wootton Bassett Town Ladies have been handed an away tie against former league rivals AEK Boco in the FA Women's Cup second qualifying round.

The tie will take place on Sunday 18th September.

The Bristol-based side finished as champions of the Gloucestershire County Women's League Division One in 2015-16, earning them promotion to the South West Women's Football League Eastern Division.

All three meetings between the sides last season saw AEK Boco emerge victorious. A League Cup second round meeting in October saw them triumph 4-1, while they prevailed by the odd goal in three in the league meeting at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground before winning 4-0 at home.

Boco also enjoyed a run to the fourth qualifying round of the Women's Cup, defeating higher level opposition in the form of Frome Town and Shanklin before falling to Chichester City.

This year though they will be the hunted, with Bassett hoping to cause an upset as they enter the national competition for the fifth consecutive season. Their lone win so far in the Women's Cup came in the 2013-14 preliminary round when Sam Wood scored the only goal of the game against Cheltenham Civil Service.

Last season Bassett fell to a 5-1 home loss against South West Women's Football League Premier Division outfit Downend Flyers in the first qualifying round.
