Warminster Town face Pewsey Vale tonight, Tuesday 17th February, in the semi-final of the Wiltshire FA County Cup (7.45pm kick-off) at Weymouth Road.
Town booked their semi-final place with a 3-1 away win at Wootton Bassett in December. They are looking to win the trophy for the first time since 1910-11 and reach the final for the first time since 2008-09.
“This is a huge occasion for the club and for everyone who’s supported the team on this cup journey,” said Club Chairman James Stone. “The lads have shown great commitment to reach this stage, and we’d love to see a big home crowd under the floodlights to spur them on.
“The stakes could hardly be higher – victory would see us progress to a County Cup Final and move within touching distance of silverware, a deserved reward for the commitment and momentum built during an impressive County Cup run.
“Pewsey Vale, who compete in the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League (the division below Warminster) will arrive as determined opposition and will relish the challenge of a semi-final away from home.
“Cup football is always unpredictable – and that’s what makes it so exciting. Semi-finals are never easy, but they’re brilliant opportunities for players to show what they can do when it really matters.
“The backing of the home crowd will be crucial. Weymouth Street has seen some memorable nights over the years, and we’re hoping this one will be right up there among them.”
The winners of the tie will face either Devizes Town or Malmesbury Victoria in the County Cup Final in April, with those two sides contesting the other semi-final on 24th February.
