Willand Rovers manager Scott Rogers described his players' performance as magnificent after they came from a goal down to beat Aveley Town in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup.
Rovers are the lowest ranked team through to the FA Cup fourth qualifying round following the victory.
Speaking about the win player-manager Scott Rogers said: "I don't think it's really sunk in yet. We left it all out there on the field because we knew we were the lowest ranked side in the competition and in a way today was our final.
"The lads were magnificent in the second half after we went in 1-0 down at half-time.
"I also gave away a penalty, handball, which they missed. Sometimes when that happens you take heart from it and the relief can build confidence."
Rovers rallied from Aveley's deflected goal – which looped over keeper Curtis Parkin – to respond with a double strike for Tom Bath, signed in the summer from Alphington, and former Elmore ace James Blake.
Rogers said: "Tom has been coming on as an impact player and we felt it was time he had a chance from the start. Maybe it was fate, you never know. The FA Cup has a way of bringing the best out of people.
"His first goal was the kind I like from a striker, just getting his toe in ahead of the keeper and centre half.
"His second was a good header from a James Blake cross and then James made it 3-1 and it was effectively game over because they didn't score again until two minutes from time.
"Now all of us can't wait for the draw. We know it will be tough and we are the lowest team left in but hopefully it will help put Willand on the football map.
"We've had BBC Radio 5 Live on the line already and that just goes to show what an FA Cup run can do for a club like ours."
