Oxford pleased with home cup draw

Darren Patterson
Patterson warned his players not to take Dorchester lightly

Oxford United manager Darren Patterson says he is pleased to have another home game in the FA Cup after beating Hayes & Yeading to reach the first round.

The U's will now face Blue Square South side Dorchester Town and Patterson told the club website that his players will still need to work to earn a result.

"You always look for a home draw so it is good in that respect, but it won't be easy in any way," he said.

"We need make sure the mentality is that it is our cup final."

The match takes place on Saturday, 8 November.

United's biggest ever win came against Dorchester at the same stage of the FA Cup 13 years ago - winning 9-1.
