Welton Sports manager Mark Daly believes his side are capable of causing an upsets in Sundays Ron Eaglen Cup Semi Final against Fox and Hounds.
The two clubs are separated by just 6 places in the Football League standings.
Welton sports were a Division 4 club this time two years ago but have won successive promotions and Daly believes that shows the squad he has built up has the necessary strength of character to record a famous victory.
"On paper they are favorites ," said Daly.
"We are away from home they will have a big crowd watching but we are confident we can get a result against them like we did against Anglers.
"our group of players have a hell of a lot of belief that one, they can hold this Fox and Hounds side at bay, and two, they can somehow scramble a result.
"Whether it be in 90 minutes, extra-time or penalties, they will be there until their last breath trying to get as much out of the game as they can.
"So it may be worth a pound or two if you fancy a flutter for us to get something out of the game. We are going there with all the right credentials to book a place in the final.
"Fox and Hounds are one of the top division 1 sides and are easily good enough to be in the premier League.
"There are so many things in their favor. The club is in a particularly buoyant place at the moment, casting aside their result in the County Cup semi Final.
"But this is the Ron Eaglen Cup and in a one-off game anything is possible."
The winner will face the winner of Welton S&SC’s semi final against either Claytons or Newton United .

Smith the most electrifying man in Welton
Welton Sports AFC winger Steve Smith has become known as somewhat of a magician in recent weeks with his performances for the Division 2 leaders but he may be about to be known as the Musician as the curly haired star takes to the stage for William Farr’s Religious Rock concert “EXTRAVAGANZA”.
Smith's Agent Al Sawyer has long touted Smith as the most marketable star in Welton since his bodged attempt to juggle a footballing career and a charity modelling career for S&SC star Will Carter.
“I have achieved so much already in my career and especially in recent weeks, and seeing your teams picture in the Lincolnshire Echo is in my opinion as good as it gets, I’ve had the picture as my profile picture for weeks I’m so proud of it.” said Smith
“I’ve cut all my team mates out of the picture though because this is my time to shine and I want all eyes on me.”
Represented by Super agent Al Sawyer, Smith has realised that the sky could truly be the limit for him and Sawyer is keen for Smith to be his new break out star and strike while the proverbial iron is hot and perform infront of tens of dozens of screaming school children.
“Football’s going so well at the minute but I am a realist though and I know that my footballing career won’t pay the bills when I’ve lost my flowing curls and have a family to support.” Said a contemplative smith
“I am ready to branch out.”
“I Love music and my agent Al Sawyer has set me up a huge gig this week at school.”
“Me and some Guys from school are going to be rocking out Extravaganza!”
“It’s a great chance for us to get ourselves out there in the spotlight with festival season just around the corner.”
“I’ve been hitting the gym pretty hard recently and I’ve been keeping it fairly quiet as to why because everyone assumes it’s for football reasons but me and my bandmates are going to be rocking some cool string vests on stage so I wanted to look pretty pumped for Extravaganza as the majority of the audience will be female.”
“I've worked on a new air guitar celebration for the weekend for the Welton supporters if i fire us past Fox and Hounds."
"I’d like to assure the Welton Sports fans that football is still my priority, least for now anyway but I aim to have my fingers in a lot of pies so who knows what’s round the corner.”
“We will see how the gig goes hopefully it will go well and I can start to be known as the most electrifying man in all of entertainment!!” concluded Smith
We are unsure of how to get hold of tickets for EXTRAVAGANZA and it has probably sold out Weeks ago as screaming school girls swarm like moths to a flame to the William Farr school hall but we would like to assure Welton supporters that ticket details and availability will be published as soon as we find out how you can get hold of one.

Kelly Read Cup Semi Final Draw
The Kelly Read Cup Semi Final draw was made last night at the FA headquarters and is as follows...
FVA Jerusalem or Waddington Utd vs Welton S&SC or Nettleham
Scothern Utd or Welton Sports Afc vs Wragby or Woodhall Spa
To be played on Sunday 15th April
Club secretary James Mulhall commented " It may be an old cliche, but both of our teams are just taking things game by game and do not want to think any further than this sunday where the focus is on Welton Sports trying to progress into the Ron Eaglen Final. it is great for the fans to start to dream of finals, but lets not get carried away and there is a lot of hard work ahead of both teams."
Snookes: We must keep our cool
Joe Snookes has urged his Welton S&SC team-mates to keep calm as the pressure gets more intense as the season reaches the home straight.
After last nights semi final draw that saw the Socialites drawn away to either Claytons or Newton United snookes knows that Welton will now be strong favorites to reach their 4th final in 5 seasons.
But Snookes recognises that it is only going to get tougher over the next couple of months.
The defender does not think it would be wise to look too far ahead, though, preferring to take each game as it comes.
"Mentally we just need to focus on our game and play every game like it's a final," he said.
"It's going to get tougher and tougher, because it will get more intense, but we just need to keep our heads and stay cool.
"It's a mental test as much as a physical one, because you feel the pressure from the other teams and you want to deliver.
"But at the same time you need to keep calm and play as well as you usually do.
"It's always difficult when you start as favorites because the other team play without pressure. “
“The fixtures are completely up in the air now and the Semi Final isn’t scheduled until next Month so again we have to put that game to the back of our mind like we have done with the county cup final and concentrate on clawing our way back into the title race and on Nettleham in the Kelly Read.”

Ron Eaglen Cup Draw Reaction
Club Sec James Mulhall said " We may go into the game as underdogs, but we have nothing to fear despite them reaching the county cup semi final's, we have won 20 games on the bounce in the league and cup with only one defeat all season, so i am sure there will be some mutual respect in what promises to be a mouthwatering tie"
Welton Sports Manager Mark Daly said " He was looking forward to this sunday's encounter and as longs as the lads give it their all he will be proud either way, to reach the semi-finals at the first time is great and if they manage to progress it will be fantastic for the lads to get a day out at Sincil Bank"
In the other tie Welton Sports and social will be feeling confident they can progress as they plumbed the easier of the two semi-finals against lower league opponents Claytons or Newton, although a fixture pile up may not help the remainder of their season.
Tickets for the Welton Sports Afc clash go on sale tomorrow from the clubs ticket office at 9:00am and is expected to be a sell out at Birchwood Avenue this sunday.

High fives for Socialites
Welton S&SC continued their fine run of form with an emphatic 5-0 win over fierce local rivals Scothern United, Goals were shared between Leigh warman, Sam Allmond, Billy Munro and a brace for Scott Coupland which helped the socialites eat in to their huge gap between themselves and FSC Victory.
Leigh Warman returned to the back four in place of Ross Taylor who was away showing admirable loyalty to his beloved cash strapped Rangers, Neil Stocks was again not risked in midfield so Craig Cosgrove joined Matt O Halloran in the centre of the park with Billy Munro coming in up front, leaving a bench of Neil Stocks, Jason Tinkler and Olly Furness.
Welton set their stall out from the outset looking to pass their way out from the back on the skiddy surface at the SCG.
Luke Clifford’s pace down the left hand side was a constant threat and it was one of his trademark bursts down the wing that lead to a corner, Matt O Halloran curled the ball in from the left which was met by a powerful Leigh Warman header that was to hot for keeper Kowalski to handle giving Welton a deserved lead.
Welton were perhaps guilty of overplaying in the tricky conditions and Scothern mounted a bit of pressure for ten minutes following the goal but they were hit with a scintillating Welton counter attack in the 25th minute.
Clifford again surged forward down the left before crossing low to Munro at the back post, Munro controlled well and turned back inside his marker before lashing the ball home with his left foot past Kowalski to double Welton’s lead.
The Socialites squandered a number of opportunities before the break and were nearly made to pay for their wastefulness on the stroke of half time when Scothern hit the outside of the post with a free kick.
HALF TIME: Scothern United 0-2 Welton S&SC
Welton returned unchanged for the second half and again started brightly and increased their lead 5 minutes into the second half.
The ball was played forward to Scott Coupland who had dropped deep to receive the ball, Welton’s talisman was able to turn and drive towards the Scothern goal, Spotting the giant keeper off his line coupland exquisitely chipped the ball over Kowalski from 25 yards out to give his side a 3 goal cushion with a sumptuous finish.
Knowing that goal difference could be crucial come what May the Socialites were throwing everything at Scothern but that nearly lead to Scothern clawing a goal back and they would have done so had it not been for a brilliant save from Phil McGann.
Welton made several changes on the hour mark bringing on all three substitutes to replace Billy Munro, Craig cosgrove and Matt o Halloran.
Like the first half Welton squandered more good chances but the socialites fourth eventually arrived through Sam Allmond with twenty minutes left.
Jason Tinkler was causing real problems at the back for Scothern and it was Tinkler who provided the assist crossing low to almond at the back post who controlled well before cutting back inside past Kowalski and driving the ball into the net past a clutch of Scothern players covering on the line.
Tinkler again provided the assist for the fifth goal that was dispatched by Scott Coupland in a similar manner to Allmond’s finish for the fourth goal to seal another important three points for Welton.

The George were not the BEST!!
Welton Sports AFC continued there impressive season with a 4-0 quarter final win in the Ron Eaglen Cup against The George (Mkt Rasen) sending them into the hat for tomorrows night's eagerly awaited semi-final draw.
Welton were missing players for the second week running through injury and holiday, but still fielded a strong line up with Matt wilks in goal, dave, danny and andy making up the back three, connor, lee, alex, bow and ross as midfield 5 with jason and ronnie up top. This left a strong bench of joel, steve and alex jackson who is currently enjoying some time off his punishing university schedule!!
The opening minutes were not pretty with welton struggling to find their usual rhythm, not helped by the ridiculously small pitch and driving rain! The george were clearly up for it and were flying into tackles causing welton to get frustrated and it took something special to break the deadlock. After around 20 forgettable minutes, a goalmouth scramble lead to the ball falling to jason on the 18 yard line who unleashed a thunderbolt of a left foot high into the roof of the net, which had the keeper got in the way it may well of took his head clean off his shoulders!! This seemed to settle welton a bit, but the rest of the first half never really got going and caretaker manager James Mulhall was glad to get his troops in at half time to try and instill a bit confidence into the camp.
Welton started the second half much brighter and began to show signs of their usual quality with chances now starting to come thick and fast. Tom bowey raced on to a through ball, but unfortunately could not convert the one on one, with his lack of games in 2012 it was time for the first change of the morning with joel replacing bow. This proved to be an inspired substitution as no more than 5 minutes on the pitch joel helped himself to welton's second. A mazy run lead to a driven shot from around 20 yards which took a kind deflection on route to loop over the outstretched arm of the george's keeper.
Welton now felt more comfortable with a 2 goal cushion and started to express themselves much better. The die hard supporters who had braved the awful conditions were not made to wait long for the third goal. Connor whipped in a corner and ross smashed home a right footed volley from 8 yards out to all but kill the game as a contest. This was to be connor's last contribution as steve smith came on to replace him. It was steve who had the next clean cut chance to score welton's fourth racing onto to a through ball, unfortunately god decided not to give him a left foot and he rather awkwardly tried to bend his right foot round it sending the ball wide of the post, much to the disappointment of the traveling fans who were relishing seeing his secret celebration t-shirt!
The george continued to press, but never really looked like hurting the back three who were solid as ever with dave having a particularly good game throwing himself at everything in order to protect welton's cleansheet.
The forth goal came with around 15 mins to go with jason whipping a lovely free kick onto danny's head giving the keeper no chance from 6 yards out. Stand in manager moley decided with the game effectively over it was only right to give alex jackson a ten minute run. Ever present last year, he just slotted into the middle of midfield like he had never been away.
The final minutes played out with no real excitement and welton sailed into the semi-final draw where they will face either Fox and Hounds, claytons, newton or a mouth watering tie against welton sports & social. Not bad considering certain people had doubted their cup pedigree.
The draw will be held at tomorrow night's league meeting and the breaking news will be announced later that evening exclusively on wsscfc.blogspot.com

Warman back for derby day
Al Taylor has confirmed that Leigh warman will return to action for welton S&SC at Scothern on Sunday. 
Warman had missed Welton’s last two games against Horncastle and Metheringham with personal commitments.
However, Taylor confirmed the centre back had trained all week and would be available at Scothern.
"Leigh is fit," said the Scot.
“It’s great for us to have Leigh back because we are struggling for numbers at the back without him. The back four has done well in the last two games but Ross (Taylor) hasn’t been able to complete a full game and with Leigh not there we didn’t have any defensive cover.”
Welton head over the A46 bidding to continue a 14 match winning run in all competitions and Taylor feels Sunday's game could represent a key moment in the Premier League title battle.
"Playing scothern is always a tremendous highlight of the season," he said.
"It is a very important game for us because if you look at the rest of the season, in the build-up to the second game against FSC Victory this is our last away game.”
“We have to win and that’s what we will be aiming to do but Scothern always dig deep and put out a strong side against us.”

Taylor ready to juggle squad
Welton S&SC manager Al Taylor is aware he will have to monitor his players closely this month to avoid any injuries.
March could prove to be a pivotal month in the Season with some crucial fixtures scheduled including a Cup semi final and a quarter final aswell as this Sundays local derby against Scothern United.
Welton should be at full strength this weekend with Leigh Warman returning to the squad.
Taylor said: "Irrespective of performances or victories, we will probably have to juggle the squad. It all depends on fitness. We will have to look at it as the month unfolds.
"Somewhere along the line we know fatigue is going to play a part. We just have to make sure it does not become costly. It might be that one of the players who has done very well, but who covers a lot of ground, has to sit on the bench for a game or two.
"You know how players are. I know because we get data on them after every game. I will know when they are fatigued. You just have to look at it and decide where best it is to make a change. What we don't want is to have any injuries. We have to avoid that at all costs."

Final venue confirmed
Welton S&SC’s eagerly awaited County Cup final against seven Seas will be held at the Bradley Football development centre in Grimsby on Sunday the 29th of April.
The news of the venue brought a mixed reaction from Manager Al Taylor and his players.
“We’ve said all along it didn’t matter where the game was played but to have the game played 2 minutes away from the oppositions pub is probably not ideal for us.” said Taylor
“Having said that the Facilities are said to be outstanding and the surface will be outstanding so we can have no complaints about that.”
The Bradley sports centre was officially opened by former England Manager Graham Taylor in March last Year and Welton against Seven Seas will be the first county cup final to be played at the Multi Million pound development.
Welton full back Will Carter admitted to being a little underwhelmed about the venue when he first heard the news.
“I was disappointed when I first heard the venue but since learning a bit about the place I have warmed to it.”
“The Pitches look fantastic and I’m sure the pitch will probably be better than Sincil Bank which is more important than having three empty stands around you.”
“It’s definitely an advantage for Seven seas but it would have been the same for them if the game was at Sincil Bank again.”
“It’s not ideal for our supporters but I’m sure the die hards will make the most of it and take it in the sights and sounds of cleethorpes for the weekend.”
