HARROGATE Railway's cup kings will be looking to shock the Northern Counties East League form-book tonight as they go in search of prized silverware.
Railway visit premier division champions-elect Bridlington in the first leg of the President's Cup final tonight, with boss Paul Marshall well aware of the task in hand against a side unbeaten at home for two seasons.
"It's a mammoth test and they've got a great record but that record will go sooner or later so why not tonight?" said Marshall, who will be enjoying his first final as Railway boss.
"We're the last team to have scored against them (in a 1-1 draw three weeks ago), we're the leading scorers in the league and if we get our shooting boots on we can score against anyone."
Both clubs have had a backlog of fixtures, with Railway set to play four games in six days, including the second leg of the final at Station View on Monday (7.45pm) and a quarter-final of the League Cup on Wednesday.
Nigel Danby (suspended), Ian McLean, Mark Watkinson and Matty Flynn are all out, but Dean Wilson and Steve Haddon will be thrown straight back in after injury.
