Steyning reached the quarter-finals of the FA Vase in 1984-85 and are plotting a way of progressing past tough opposition in Walton.

Walton & Hersham have played in the Isthmian Leagues previously and will provide Gerry Murphy’s Steyning with a tough test.

Steyning warmed up for the FA Vase clash by seeing off St Francis Rangers in a League Cup first-round clash on Tuesday.

New recruit Alfie Gritt got the only goal as Town sealed a 1-0 win at the Colwell Ground.

Gritt agreed on a return to the club earlier this month and has now netted three times in just two appearances for Town. Steyning will hope for more of the same on Saturday.
