The Northern Counties East Premier Division side was only founded in 2012 and they have already claimed some impressive scalps over Shildon, Walsall Wood and most recently Flackwell Heath – beating them 2-1 to book their passage into the quarter finals in their maiden Vase campaign against Glossop North End.

As for the visitors to Shaw Lane, Glossop were runners-up in this competition in 2009 and they made the round with a hard-fought 3-1 away victory in their replay against Dunston UTS, with two goals in extra time securing the dramatic win for the North West Counties Premier Division side.
But Elliot is not fazed by the gulf in cup experience and accolades as he looks to approach the game in the same way that has brought success in The FA Vase and the league so far – by scoring lots of goals.
"Our attacking firepower is definitely one of our strengths; we have scored 91 goals in the league so far with five or six players scoring a lot of goals for us." Elliot told TheFA.com
"We have watched them [Glossop] a couple of times and I am aware of a few of their players; they are a good defensive team that have not conceded many goals."
Both teams have been in scintillating form in their respective leagues with Shaw Lane losing just one of their last nine games, while the Hillmen, who have conceded just ten goals in the league, have won eight out of their last ten matches.
Elliot added: "On paper it should be a cracking game and from a neutral perspective it will be a very good advert for non-League football. We are having a good season in the league and will just focus on our game and hopefully on the day that is good enough.
"I don't think we thought when we started our cup journey that we would get to the quarter-finals but we have – and I just can't wait for Sunday to come."
