Woking draw Watford in FA Cup third-round
Published at 7:52pm 3rd December 2018. (Updated at 8:26pm 3rd December 2018)
Woking FC have been drawn at home against Watford in the third-round of the FA Cup.
It means Alan Dowson's side will host Premier League opposition, with the tie set to be played on the weekend of Saturday 5 January 2019.
The Cards earned a place in the third-round of the competition for the first time in 22 years after a surprise 1-0 victory over League Two Swindon Town.
It will be the first competitive meeting between the two teams, although they did meet during pre-season in 2016 and 2017 - also at the Laithwaite Community Stadium - with the Hornets held to a 1-1 draw on both occasions.
