Chris Herbert and Jayson Starkey target FA…

Former Flint Town United boss Chris Herbert, now at Vauxhall Motors, and former Cefn Druids manager Jayson Starkey, now at Whitchurch Alport, are both focused on making the most of their upcoming FA Cup matches. Herbert’s side will face Thackley in the preliminary round, while Starkey’s Whitchurch Alport host Coventry United.

Chris Herbert’s FA Cup Ambition

Former Flint Town United boss Chris Herbert is now in charge of Vauxhall Motors. The club will host Thackley in the FA Cup preliminary round. Herbert said, “Everyone wants to be involved in the FA Cup, it’s still the biggest club cup competition in the world, and it should be a privilege to be involved in it.” He added that the team will go “all out to get through” and expects a good crowd.

Vauxhall Motors come into the game after a 2‑1 mid‑week win at home to Mossley. Herbert praised the win, noting the team had been reduced to 10 men with 25 minutes left. He said, “It could have been backs to the wall, but we pushed on again.” He highlighted key performers: Mike Burkey, who was the match‑winner, striker Ste Milne, skipper Jacson Coppack, and defenders Rob Hopley and Adam Rooney.

Jayson Starkey’s FA Cup Focus

Whitchurch Alport, managed by former Cefn Druids boss Jayson Starkey, will host Coventry United in the competition. Starkey, like Herbert, is keen to make the most of the FA Cup opportunity.

Both managers are determined to use the cup to showcase their teams and generate revenue, with the competition still regarded as the world’s biggest club cup tournament.
