Hanwell Town are just four games away from a short trip to Wembley Stadium in The FA Vase, but manager Ray Duffy is refusing to get carried away.
The west London side host Ashford United this weekend in the Fourth Round of the FA Vase.
This season's Vase run is the furthest the club has ever got in the competition and Duffy admits the club has been hit by a wave of excitement and anticipation.
He told TheFA.com: "We're looking forward to this game immensely. We all are as a club. It's one of the biggest games the club's had because of where it is, four games from Wembley.

"The club, the players, the coaching staff, we're all really really looking forward to it."
Duffy is, however, refusing to get carried away.
He added: "I don't know if we can reach Wembley. I don't want to cliché it. I don't know that. We're certainly only looking at Ashford United at the minute. They're top of the Kent league and we're second in our league, with a few games in hand.
"I think now if you look at the teams in it most of the sides are in the top three of their league, most of them. So I think whoever you get now at this sort of stage, the last 32, everyone's a good side and we'll give them all the respect that they deserve."
Hanwell thrashed Lordswood 5-0 at home in the Third Round, and have been in imperious form on their own patch.
So much so that Duffy believes home advantage could prove to be a decisive factor this time round too.
Both sides are just four wins away from Wembley
"I absolutely feel it gives us an advantage," he said. "Our home form has been excellent. We've won all our league games, we haven't drawn any or lost anything at home in the league. So our home form is very good.
"It also definitely helps because our pitch is excellent and there's plenty of width. The pitch suits us, very much so. I would rather be at home than away. We're delighted to have a home tie but no doubt it'll be our toughest test so far."
Often cup runs can come at a cost to league form, but Duffy is adamant that his players are taking the FA Vase seriously and that it will not hinder their chances of promotion.
He said: "Our objective was to get promoted and we set two targets, to try and win the league and to have a good run in the Vase, and they seem to be complementing each other at the minute.
"It's a welcome distraction. It can be quite intense, 42 league games, so it's nice to look forward to the cup. We'll field as strong as a side as we possibly can."
