national coaching vacancies advertised this week.

But Brown, who worked with Mark Trott coaching the under-23 team during Olympic qualifiers in Panama last year, said he would offer his services to help those appointed as BFA staff coaches.

"I have no desire to apply,'' said Brown. "My priority is Wolves Sports Club right now. But I will be willing to help any national coach, particularly with any of the junior teams, if they need my assistance.'' Brown has built Wolves into a force to be reckoned with over the past five years and led them to their long-awaited first major trophy when they defeated Devonshire Colts to lift the Martonmere Cup earlier this season.

The Devonshire club enhanced their chances of more silverware this week by reaching the last four of the FA Cup with a thrilling extra-time triumph over the country's most in-form side, Dandy Town, on Thursday night.

Wolves battled back from 2-0 down and then 3-2 down to win 5-3 in extra-time to thrill the Devonshire Rec. crowd in what was one of the matches of the season.

"I told the players before the game that we had to want it more than them and I thought we came out that way, but the two goals we conceded early were a bit unfortunate,'' said Brown.

"I thought we showed a lot of character to come back and we stuck together well as a team. We overcame the obstacle we had to overcome and we did it well.'' Wolves have made a habit of upsetting the top sides in recent years, something Brown used as motivation for the quarter-final clash with league leaders Town.

"Dandy Town have been in fairly good form in the second half of the season,'' said Brown. "But one thing I told my players before the game was that in the last two years, any team who's been on a high horse, we've always managed to bring them down off that horse and we did that again.'' And Brown was particularly satisfied to see his team bounce back from losing to North Village in the Friendship last week, 5-3 after extra-time, to win in similar circumstances this week.

"It was very gratifying. Before extra-time, I told them that last week we made mistakes early, so this time let's maintain our concentration to the end.'' Could there be a chink in the hitherto impenetrable armour of First Division leaders St. George's? Brown opts out From Page 15 Recent weeks have exposed cracks in the veneer, with the east enders bowing out of the Shield competition to lowly Boulevard and following that with a narrow victory over fellow strugglers Prospect.

This weekend has Neil Paynter's squad travelling west to face an unpredictable Somerset Eagles crew, anxious to get back on the winning track in front of their home fans.

Looking out for any slip are second placed Paget, who will precede St.

George's on the wide expanse of White Hill Field, having Prospect as their opponents.

Paget find themselves in a must win position if they are to have any chance of gaining automatic promotion to the Premier Division, while at the same time preserving their play-off chances if the first option does not materialise.

Meanwhile, St. David's look to continue their resurgence against last placed Boulevard at St. John's Field, while the Hamilton Parish clash against Social Club in St. David's rates a toss-up.
