Surprise
Dunhill Players travel away once more for the first leg of the cup this sunny morning.
"We're off to the Horny Piranhas again! We've met the LXM 1 side once already this season and we had a good day at the office that day. 6-1 was probably a little flattering with two goals in stoppage time really rubbing it in but we don't expect much out of today's game."
"We were surprised when a second cup competition was announced and decided immediately to use the games for the fringe and youth players to get some match experience. With the long term injury to Anny at the back, it gives players a chance to step up and fill his large, seven skilled boots."
"Form is good throughout the team with most of today's starting eleven carrying 15+ at the first whistle. We have had a good few weeks of training and, barring one or two players, everyone is looking confident and sharp."
"Still, today is going to be men against boys for the most part and I've told them not to worry about the result. They can just go and enjoy the game and then concentrate on the league fixture on Saturday."
"If we do get something from the match then fine but having had experience of two long cup campaigns, one still ongoing, already this season, I personally would rather just the two outings and an easier chance of maintaining form."
