Liam Daish had no complaints about the FA Cup fourth qualifying round draw which pits Ebbsfleet United against Blue Square Bet South rivals Boreham Wood at Stonebridge Road on Saturday week.

It is Fleet’s first home draw this season, the clubs’ first meeting in the competition and means a swift reunion after they meet this weekend in the league at Meadow Park.

Daish (pictured) said: "We could not have asked for anything more than to be drawn at home to a side in our own division.

"We go there on Saturday looking for a result but the cup-tie is a one-off game and, although it is against the same team, we will address the games differently."

Daish will be checking on the fitness of injured Dean Pooley and Gareth Williams, who both missed Saturday’s win at Needham Market.

Pooley injured his shoulder in training last week, while Williams is troubled by a side muscle problem.

Daish said: "We had to adjust and shuffle things about.

"I should know more about both of them later in the week."

qualifying round of the FA Youth Cup next Wednesday, kick-off 7.45pm.
