Thanks to club photographer Gary McGuffog we can help you relive or delight for the first time over an FA Vase victory that will live long in the memory.

Adders are keeping their feet on the ground but a trip to Wembley can be achieved with two more successes in the competition.

The last eight beckons with a mouthwatering home tie against Northern League Division One side Consett AFC and it's the "team wot won it" after an nailbiting replay against Worcester City went to extra time and then penalties.

Sam Belcher put the Adders into a deserved lad before Luke English equalised to take the tie overall into 240 minutes of ebb and flow.

Atherstone youngster Aiden Jeynes set up the penalty shoot-out win with a double save from crestfallen Luke Rowe. He dived correctly to his left to take smothering it.

Up stepped cooL-hand second-half substitute Adam Goodby with a penalty into the top right hand corner to guide Adders that bit nearer to Wembley Way.
