Worcester City could make history this afternoon in their second leg of their FA Vase semi-final.

They travel away to take on Great Wakering Rovers with a one-goal lead from the first game at Sixways last week.

If successful, it would set up a visit to Wembley for the first time in the club's 122-year history.

Captain Adam Mace says it's a massive match and is expecting it to be tough again.

He said: "As a squad we are delighted to to have that lead going into this second leg.

"Both teams will probably be a little bit frustrated with how the first game panned out and the opportunities that both had to score.

"It's going to be a fantastic game of football again, and we know they're going to throw everything at us."

A second-half strike from Elliott Hartley separated the two teams at Sixways, in front of a crowd of over 3,000.

During the week they also ended their near-45-year wait for a league title after beating Thornbury Town 1-0, but their focus is now all on this second leg.

"It'll be the biggest game of my career," Adam said.

"It's a fantastic opportunity for us to to get what we deserve in my opinion for all the hard work and effort we've put in this season.

"This has got the opportunity to be one of the best weeks of our careers, so we just need to go out there and and put on a performance to get us to where we want to be."

The game kicks off at 3pm.
