Will 1988 winners Wimbledon avoid falling at the first hurdle in this season’s FA Cup?
Ten days ago, the Dons led at Bob Lucas Stadium after just five minutes, Ayoub Assal scoring, but Weymouth forced a replay, courtesy of Ahkeem Rose’s equaliser.
As mentioned, the Wombles won this competition 34 years ago but, since reforming in 2002, their best run is to round five in 2018/19.
Right now, following relegation last season, Johnnie Jackson’s team are 15th in League Two, playing out a goalless draw with Salford City on Saturday.
Weymouth meanwhile were also relegated last season, so now find themselves in the National League South, part of the sixth-tier.
The Terras beat Braintree 1-0 at the weekend but, with this just their second victory of the season, remain rooted to the foot of the table.
However, a comfortable Wimbledon victory at Plough Lane seems the most likely outcome.
Whoever does progress will host Chesterfield in the second round.
