Horsham hitman Steve Flain chases his 11th cup goal of the season tomorrow admitting: "This is the biggest match of my non-League career."

Flain and strike partner Gavin Geddes hope to give Horsham's 300 fans something to cheer as they face mission near-impossible at Yeovil in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup.

Geddes is Hornets top scorer with 14 goals, but Flain's ten have all come in either the FA Cup or Vase.

His four against Epsom and two at Hastings have taken Hornets to this stage of the competition for the first time in nine years.

The former Stevenage and Luton Reserve is still based in Hertfordshire and tomorrow's trip will be the first time he has travelled on the team coach.

He said: "It's a lot of travelling but I've been getting down for training regularly this season and it's paying off.

"At least it's handy for away games but I'll drive down to Horsham to get the coach to Yeovil, then stay over for a night out after the game.

"I've played at some big grounds in the Combination but this is my biggest game in non-League. Playing the Conference leaders is a great draw. It's as good as playing a League club."

Flain, 27 next month, knows what to expect from Conference players after working with the successful Stevenage side of three years ago.

He said: "Teams like Yeovil are as good as professionals. We know they will be strong, quick and physical. They have won eight of eight at home. If we play like we did at Hassocks the other night, we will get battered."

Geddes limped out of that 2-2 draw with a hamstring twinge but should start at Huish Park.

Flain said: "Gavin's got a great touch for someone his height. He's a flair player. If I had an extra yard of pace, I would get onto some of his flicks."

Horsham's main headaches are likely to come at the other end, where Barrington Belgrave and Warren Patmore form the most feared strikeforce in the Conference.

Horsham centre-back Martin Lempriere is on holiday in the Canary Islands but Geoff Ward's likely call-up in his place provides a touch of irony.

Ward was a suntanned bystander last time Hornets had a taste of success, missing the Isthmian Division Three title run-in after losing his place while on holiday in Tenerife.

Horsham's fans will make the most of tomorrow's adventure, not least the larger-than-life Lardy Boys, whose terrace repertoire includes It's Just Like Watching Peru and No Surrender To The Low Fat Spread.
