The 'carrot' of a possible FA Cup tie against Hereford FC will motivate Sporting Khalsa in their game against Romulus on Saturday according to their manager Ian Rowe.
"It's a big incentive on Saturday that
if we are successful against Romulus – which will be tough as they are a
division higher than us – then we would be at home to Hereford or
Alvechurch," said Rowe as reported by the Walsal Advertiser
"It's a huge carrot and if we win I will be hoping – even though Alvechurch manager Ian Long is a good friend – that Hereford get through because of the people they will bring through the gate."
Khalsa have already defeated Hanley but Rowe appreciates Romulus will be tough opponents.

Khalsa have already defeated Hanley but Rowe appreciates Romulus will be tough opponents.
"Hanley are a tough team to draw to start with, now we have Romulus who are a division
above and, if we get through, Alvechurch are as good a Step 5 side as
there is in the country and Hereford are probably going to be the best
Step 4 side.
"For sides at our level, if you can win two games in the FA Cup, you have done okay and anything more is a bonus.
"We had a great run last year and if we can emulate that, it would be astounding, but we are a decent side and when we are on song I would like to think we can take on anyone from our level or the one above."
