Tuff Dogs, the surprise package in this season’s FA Cup, have been drawn against Hamilton Parish in the quarter-finals.

The Corona League side beat the Premier Division’s bottom team X-Roads on penalties in the first round last week and their reward is a tie against Hamilton Parish, whose coach Sergio Goater is not expecting an easy ride.

“We have to remain humble because the game is still played on the day,” Goater said.

“They have 90 minutes just like we have 90 minutes. We’re going to approach it as if we’re playing so-called giants.

“Nothing’s guaranteed in life and I'm not even trying to think like that. I'm not even looking that far, my team can misfire or they can get a penalty and then we’re in trouble.

“I wouldn't get excited until we win the entire competition, not about who we’re playing in the quarter-finals.”

Jermaine Gibbons, who coaches Tuff Dogs alongside Somerset Trojans coach Jensen Rogers, is hoping his side can dump another Premier Division side out of the FA Cup.

“We’re excited about the draw against Hamilton Parish and we’re looking forward to the game,’’ Gibbons said.

“We’re going to give it our best shot and it all depends on who shows up on the day. Obviously it’s football and things can go either way like they did on Sunday.

“We’re going in as underdogs and ultimately looking forward to causing an upset. Going into the game, I think we have a good chance.”

Defending champions North Village were drawn against First Division runaway leaders Devonshire Colts.

Village coach Kenny Thompson, whose side is in the hunt for both the FA Cup and league honours, is excited about the tie.

“It’s an interesting match-up,’’ Thompson said. “Obviously we’re near the top of the Premier Division and they’re running away with the First Division, and they’ll be in the Premier Division next season.

“Although they are currently in the First Division, they are performing on a Premier Division level. For me it’s always respect for every opponent but, specifically in this case, it’s an even contest.

“It’s going to be a close match as matches against Devonshire Colts have been over the years.

“We’re expecting as difficult a match as any current Premier Division team. You cannot take anyone lightly in football as football can humble you with that sort of attitude.

“I try and instil in our players that we have to respect the game and respect every opponent.”

Colts coach Ray Jones feels the match provides his side with a perfect opportunity to measure themselves against Premier Division opponents.

“I actually think it’s a good draw,’’ Jones told The Royal Gazette.

“Where we are so far in the season, it’s a great time to draw a team that is actually pushing to see if they can win the Premier Division title.

“It will be a good measurement of where we are in relation to what we need to do to be competitive for next season.

“There have been some great clashes between us and Village in the past, and we’re anticipating another good match.

“When you get to the last eight, you've got to be in to win it. We’re in it to win it but we’re going to enjoy ourselves, we’re not putting any pressure on ourselves.

“To get to this round, you can’t avoid anybody if you want to go all the way. We’ll prepare ourselves the best way we can tactically to go up against a very good Village outfit.

“We’re looking forward to finishing off our campaign positively and rejoin the top flight.”
