Reading City have been drawn away again in the FA Vase following the Third Round draw, released on Monday.
The Cityzens will travel to Step 6 Hythe Town of the Southern Counties East Football League Division One on Saturday 28th November after they overcame Northwood at the weekend.
Simon Johnson’s side were heading out as the clock ticked 90 minutes in West London, only for Ollie Harris – a previous Vase finalist with Binfield – to turn match winner with goals on 90+1 and 90+5.
Reading were favourites going into the tie based on league position in the Combined Counties League Premier Division North, but were behind to a James King strike on 49 minutes and looked to be heading out in their first Vase fixture of the season.
Last season, City reached the Fourth Round and boss Johnson is eager to go further this time, however Hythe present a banana skin having knocked out Step 6 SE Dons in the Second Round – Reading fell to Step 6 Lymore Gardens in the Fourth Round last season.
Meanwhile Berkshire adjacent Wantage Town’s run came to an end at home to St Blazey, the Cornish side won 3-2 at Alfredian Park.
