Guernsey FC reached the FA Vase semi-finals in 2013

Guernsey FC have been drawn away to Isthmian league Division One South rivals Worthing in the FA Cup.

The Green Lions travel to Sussex on 30 August as they begin their second campaign in the FA Cup in the preliminary round.

Should they win they will travel to Dulwich Hamlet in the first qualifying round on Saturday 13 September.

It means Guernsey will not host a match in the FA Cup until the second qualifying round on 27 September.

Under their agreement with the FA Guernsey cannot play replays on the island, but have to host them at a neutral venue in the UK.

The Green Lions lost to Dover Athletic in the second qualifying round last season.

In the FA Trophy Guernsey have been drawn at home to Southern League side Barton Rovers in the preliminary round on 18 October.
