Graham Drury is already dreaming of a place at Wembley and believes he has the squad to achieve such a feat.

The Corby Town manager is optimistic that his Conference North side's mixture of youth and experience is the right formula to go far in the competition, especially with former former Nottingham Forest pair Jason Lee and Chris Hope at his disposal.

The duo have made a strong impact at the club since their arrivals and are sure to help their manager drive the club in the direction of success.

"I want to go all the way to Wembley, it would be great and such a massive achievement," said Drury.

"In Jason Lee and Chris Hope we have great experience to help the youngsters and as I'm new to this league, they help me out sometimes with their knowledge."

And despite welcoming rivals Alfreton Town to the Rockingham Triangle Sports Stadium, the manager is remaining positive.

He said: "Obviously it's a tough test playing Alfreton and we would have liked an easier draw. They are tough side.
 
"We have lost to them in the league already but that just means we know their weaknesses. It's simple, we have to score more goals than them."

The Steelmen currently sit fifth in the league, just one place behind Alfreton. However, despite the league defeat earlier in the season, Drury believes that the result will go in his side's favour.

"We need to be switched on and take gambles, but above all produce quality on the day," he explained. 

"We have the players for it. If that happens we will win and then we will be through to the next round. Once that happens we can see what's next."
