Falmouth Town were on a hot streak with eleven wins in a row until they lost to Bodmin Town on Tuesday night - and the South West Peninsula League Premier Division side are hoping to start a new winning run in The FA Vase against Cadbury Heath.
Manager Alan Carey explained: "We're going to have to pick up the pieces and start again. That's what we've got to do.
"It's going to be a really special game because The Vase is one of the best competitions to play in.
"The Third Round is where it really hots up a bit, so the Second Round tie is very important."
Left-back Jamie Devine was sent off against Bodmin and will be suspended for The Vase clash, a big miss.
But Falmouth will make the four hour trip to Bristol in good spirits to face their Western League Division One opponents.
"We're leaving at nine in the morning," explained Carey. "It's going to be a really long trip, but if you go there and get the result then it makes the journey worth it.
"I'm led to believe we're taking a coach of 50 down, which is nearly sold out, and lots of people will come in their cars too, so we should have a really good crowd there."
As the only Cornish side to make it to the First Round Proper of The FA Cup, Falmouth have good pedigree.
They hope to beat their FA Vase best from the 1986-87 season, when they reached a quarter final before taking their bow in a replay.
Cadbury made it to The Fourth Round in The Vase last season and are sitting top of their league, leaving Carey certain the match will be a tough test.
He said: "We're expecting a really close encounter, and they really know what they're up to in The Vase.
"They've got the history in the competition, so it's going to be a tight game."
