Good luck to Hackett's cup heroes!

Good luck to the fans, players and officials of Stourbridge in the Emirates FA Cup on Tuesday night from the rest of the EVO-STIK Northern Premier League!

After a frozen pitch ruled out their original bid to beat Northampton Town in the second round nine days ago, Gary Hackett's cup heroes are kicking off in one of the biggest game's in the EVO-STIK NPL Premier Division club's 140-year history.

The Scholars - expecting a bumper crowd at the War Memorial Ground - will bank £27,000 in FA prize and a trip to Wycombe Wanderers in the third round if they can knock out the League One Cobblers.

On their way to the second round for the second successive season, they've already knocked out Peterborough Sports, Mickleover Sports, Ilkeston FC and Nantwich Town and rewritten the club's history books by going into the hat for the third round draw for the first time ever.
