Smith pleased with Bucks home tie

Bucks boss Rob Smith wants another Conference scalp (James Baylis)

AFC Telford United boss Rob Smith is delighted with the Bucks' home draw in the second round of the FA Trophy.

After their 2-1 first round win at Boston, Smith's men will now meet the winners of Saturday's postponed tie between Hayes & Yeading or Grays.

And, ahead of Tuesday night's restaging of that game, Smith told BBC Radio Shropshire: "We've got to fancy our chances against anyone at home.

"If we play Grays, it would be nice to get another Conference scalp."

Telford have beaten three Blue Square Premier clubs in cup competitions this season.

The Bucks beat Northwich Victoria to get to the first round of the FA Cup. And they have also recorded victories against Cambridge United and an admittedly far from full strength Burton Albion in the Setanta Shield.

The second round will be played at the Bucks Head on Saturday 10 January. And Telford should know who they will play by end of Tuesday evening (kick-off at Hayes & Yeading is at 1945 GMT).
