Lowestoft keep focus despite Cup

The management of Lowestoft Town is warning players not to get carried away by the romance of their FA Cup first round tie at Wrexham on Saturday.

The Trawlerboys are aiming to reach the second round for the first time in their 122 year history, but joint boss Micky Chapman is urging caution.

Chapman told BBC Radio Suffolk: "We've got to keep our feet on the ground and make sure we don't look too far ahead."

The Ryman League club is one of the lowest-ranked teams left in the Cup.

Two of Lowestoft's last three victims in the competition came from higher leagues in the football pyramid, with victories over Boston United and Gloucester City.

And the results have led to optimism in north Suffolk that Chapman's side can cause an upset against Blue Square Premier Wrexham.

Chairman Gary Keyzor said: "We've got a great team of players here, I'm so proud to be working with them and the management team.

"With the teams they've beaten in the previous rounds and the way they performed against Gloucester, they deserve to be in the first round and we're really looking forward to it."

Lowestoft will take three coach loads of supporters to North Wales on Saturday with many more making the long trip by road.
