Exeter City play Heybridge Swifts in the Emirates FA Cup first round on Sunday. The match has been moved to a 2pm kick-off so highlights can be shown on BBC Final Score programme on Sunday afternoon.
Heybridge Swifts come into the match on Sunday having already played seven games in the competition. They started off in the preliminary qualifying round stages, where they beat Haverhill Rovers 6-1 in a replay, before knocking out Arlesley Rovers, Metropolitan Police, Frome Town and Haringey Borough.
Speaking about their journey, City manager Paul Tisdale said: “We are playing against a non-league team who have done very, very well to get to this point. I had achieved that myself in the non-league with Team Bath in 2002.
"So, I know what it takes to get to this point. They have played seven matches to get to this point. I think they will play more matches than the winners of the FA Cup will this year.
"So, it is an amazing achievement and they won’t want to see their dream and excitement finish this Sunday. They will look to take it to another game or a replay, but we have got to make sure we do the best for us and the best for us is a professional performance. It is not about anything sexy, it is about winning the game.”
