TWO managers who made their mark on the Welsh football scene are targeting money-spinning FA Cup runs tomorrow.

Ex-Flint Town United boss Chris Herbert is in charge at Vauxhall Motors, who host Thackley in the famous competition’s preliminary round.

“Everyone wants to be involved in the FA Cup, it’s still the biggest club cup competition in the world, and it should be a privilege to be involved in it,” said Herbert.

“We will be going all out to get through and are expecting a good crowd to be in attendance.”

Motors head into the game after a last-gasp 2-1 midweek win at home against Mossley.

“I’m made up with the win, after going down to 10 men with 25 minutes left it could have been backs to the wall,” added Herbert.

“But, if anything, we pushed on again. We had some big performers in Mike Burkey who was the match winner, striker Ste Milne who never stops working and skipper Jacson Coppack who is leading by example. Also, the defence of Rob Hopley and Adam Rooney were all outstanding. I could go on but they were the stand out performers.”

Whitchurch Alport, who are managed by former Cefn Druids boss Jayson Starkey, host Coventry United.
