“The team are incredibly excited to have the opportunity to play in the FA Cup. Coming off the back of the League Cup win last season, we can’t wait to get back to winning ways. Rob and I have been working hard with pre-season preparations and the players will be ready and up for the challenge. We appreciate the support we get as a team from our club and local area and although we have an away tie, we hope to take a few friendly faces with us to ."
