Quorn is home to the United Kingdom's most famous fox hunt and the football team will be chasing a giant-killing away to Boston United in The FA Trophy Second Round Qualifying on Saturday.

Former Leicester City striker Julian Joachim will be leading the line for Quorn and he has netted five goals already for his new club and will most likely have to add to that tally if the Midlands side are to cook up an upset.

And Joachim, who scored 17 times 46 games for Boston United, is now hoping to outfox his former club by leading Quorn to FA Trophy glory.

"This is already the furthest we have ever been in The FA Trophy as it is only our third year playing at this level," said Quorn club secretary Reg Molloy.

"The season so far has been up and down with some good results and some strange results, but we had a new manager in the summer and it takes a while for him to bring in his players and get a settled side."

But, with Boston United sitting second in the Northern Premier Division, Molloy is under no illusions of the task facing his players.

"The most that we are hoping for is that we give a good account of ourselves and we can hope for the best," he added.

"Although we have played at a league ground before, when we played FC United of Manchester, (who play at Gigg Lane, Bury) none of the players who played then are still at the club, so it will be a new experience for most of the players and a great chance for them to show what they can do."
