Coalville players get hands on cup

Last updated : 11 November 2004 By Alistair Murray

Coalville’s players are the first in the club’s history to have ever been involved in the competition. After eight successful preliminary ties, the Ravens will finally meet opponents from the football league.

Coalville are expecting to take more than 1000 supporters to Wycombe in the first round proper on Saturday. Before the players had a chance to get close up and personal with the famous silverware ahead of the weekend showdown, local children celebrated their team’s historic efforts this year, with a visit by the trophy to their school.
