Hemsworth Miners Welfare manager Wayne Benn wants to experience the same atmosphere that followed the famous FA Vase victory in the last round.

Hemsworth beat former finalists West Auckland Town to make history and the Wells can make some more if they beat Sunderland RCA tomorrow.

They have home advantage again, but Benn knows his side face a huge test against the sixth-placed team in the Northern League.

Benn told Non League Yorkshire: “We obviously made history in the last round and the attendance and atmosphere around the ground and in the bar for that game was something I’ll never forget.

“The fans thoroughly enjoyed it and they created such an atmosphere. The lads were buzzing because they had played so well.

“3-2 flattered West Auckland because it should have been six and we’re talking about former finalists.

“I want to the players to remember that feeling and seeing the fans jumping about. I want them to remember the atmosphere at the bar and what a performance it was.

“If we do it again tomorrow it will be mental. I would imagine it will be a similar crowd too.

“We had someone go and watch Sunderland as well so we do have some feedback.

“We don’t have anything to lose because we’re underdogs again. But, it is the furthest we have ever been in the competition so it is a big deal for our players.”
