VAUXHALL MOTORS have hardly been off the road to Wembley in the opening month of the season.

Knocked out of the FA Trophy at Northern Premier League West rivals Prescot Cables last Friday, Motors now turn their attentions back to the FA Cup and a home tie against Dunston on Saturday afternoon.

Motors beat Thackley 3-2 two weeks ago to earn their shot at making it through to the next round this weekend.

The legendary Paul Gascoigne kicked off his career at Dunston, who knocked Chester out of the FA Cup in the north east eight years ago.

“Gazza started his career there and most clubs have their own history and that’s their claim to fame,” said Motors boss Chris Herbert (pictured below).

“It’s great to play against them still and we’re looking forward to the tie.”

It’s been a hectic time for Motors in the build-up to Saturday’s FA Cup tie.

After losing out at Prescot last Friday, Herbert returned to his old club 1874 Northwich on Monday where summer signing Pascal Gomez scored in a 1-1 league draw.
