Who will be this season’s Havant and Waterlooville?

Bet on which Blue Square team get the furthest this year

888sport and Blue Square have opened markets on which team from the Blue Square Premier, South and North will go furthest in this year’s FA Cup.

Torquay, who are second in the Premier and on an eleven match unbeaten run, are worthy favourites at 9/2. They reached the FA Trophy final last season and knocked League One Yeovil out of the FA Cup. They have a good first round draw too, at home to Evesham, a team who are struggling two divisions below without an away win.

However, don’t be put off backing a team just because they have a tough first round clash because whoever goes the furthest is going to have to beat someone bigger than them; Havant beat Notts County and Swansea to earn their fourth round trip to Anfield last season.
