Buckle's side will have a long trip north, whoever they eventually face

Torquay United manager Paul Buckle says his side face a tough match whoever they play in the FA Trophy third round.

The Gulls will be away to either Northern League side Durham City or Blue Square North outfit Southport.

Either side will involve a long journey, with Durham a 746-mile round-trip from Plainmoor and Southport a 558-mile round-trip.

"It's a million miles away and it'll be very difficult when it comes round," Buckle told BBC Radio Devon.

But Buckle, whose side are still in the FA Cup and challenging for the top places in the Blue Square Premier, says he just wants to see his side keep on winning.

"We have to approach every game like it's our last and try and win every game.

"It's not easy, we're playing lots and lots of games, but at the same time it's great to be in all the competitions."
