Worksop Town will compete in the last 64 of the FA Trophy for the first time in 13 years as they face Kidderminster Harriers at the Windsor Foodservice Stadium on Saturday.

And manager Craig Parry knows his side must maintain their standards if they are to progress further, having been denied a win on Saturday when a late Vaughan Redford penalty was saved in a 1-1 draw with Chorley.

“We’ve got to keep it up," he said.

“If we keep repeating the performances of the last two games, that’s in possession and out of possession, if we do that, we’re going to be more than fine.

“I was in the dressing room for 30 seconds after the Chorley game and it was a simple message – get your heads up.

“We have to keep repeating performances, and if we can keep doing that and get consistency over a long period of time, we’ll be fine.

“Yes, it’s a cup game, but it’s a cup that we want to do well in.”

The Tigers come into this game after earning back-to-back points returns for the first time since the start of September.

A victory against Leamington on the road, before the draw with Chorley at the Windsor Foodservice Stadium moved them further away from the relegation places.

But focus is now on the FA Trophy this weekend, as they entertain the Reds at the Windsor Foodservice Stadium.

In the last round of the competition, the Tigers won 3-2 away against Chorley, with Chae Whitman-Brown scoring his first goal late on to send them through.

Kidderminster cruised to a 3-0 victory in the last round against Corby Town at Aggborough, and they have been in good form of late.

The Reds became the first team to beat South Shields at their own ground this season, beating them 2-1 at the 1st Cloud Arena last weekend.

Worksop have already faced the Harriers at home this campaign, drawing 1-1 in their first home of the season thanks to a Luke Waterfall equaliser.

The Tigers will be hoping to continue the little bit of momentum they have picked up going into this one and take full use of their home advantage as they look to reach the fourth round of the competition.
