JOHN PEACE admits that the thought of creating history will drive St Martin’s on as the Guernsey FA Cup reaches the quarter-final stage this weekend.
The black-and-whites entertain Sylvans at Blanche Pierre Lane tomorrow (4pm kick-off) in a repeat of last season’s final, which Saints won 3-1.
Should they go on to win the trophy again this time, they would be the first side in its nine-year history to retain it and also move joint with North on three wins overall.
‘There is still a lot of prestige about the FA Cup and, although it hasn’t got as many sides as it used to, it is still great to win,’ said coach Peace.
