Hide AdAnd Wilson is confident even though his side have lost back-to-back games in the United Counties Premier Division to Eynesbury and Desborough.
“We lost both games 2-1, but last season we got nowhere near those teams,” Wilson said. “That shows how much we have improved and I’m confident we can get a good result on Saturday.
“Vase games are always big for clubs like us. The money of course comes in very useful and we’d love to earn the club a bit, but I’d love us to have a good run for footballing reasons.
“I have a great set of lads at the club who are working hard and playing well. They deserve a good run in the biggest competition we enter.”
