Lymington & New Milton have the advantage of a home draw against North West Counties outfit Mossley, while near-neighbours Christchurch must travel to the winners of tomorrow night's replay between Screwfix Western League duo Bitton and Devizes.
The Linnets, who miraculously came back from four down to beat Willand Rovers 5-4 on Saturday, entertained Mossley at the same stage of competition four seasons ago and emerged narrow 1-0 winners thanks to Andy Sampson's extra-time goal.
Lymington went on to reach the quarter-finals that year, but player-manager Graham Kemp, who set up Sampson's winner, recalled: "I remember Mossley being a very good side. Although we're at home, I'd say Christchurch stand the best chance of all of us against Screwfix opposition. I'd rate our tie as middle of the road and Winchester's is easily the toughest."
Christchurch are not afraid of hitting the road again having flattened Welton Rovers 5-0 in Somerset on Saturday to continue their best ever Vase run.
"We're like Beaujolais , we travel well!" smiled co-boss Nigel Cripps, adding: "It's a great way to keep the season alive still being in a major cup competition going in the new year."
