The road to Wembley starts for Football League clubs tomorrow in the FA Cup but a five-a-side team from Lidget Green have already made it to the hallowed turf.
Carnation are one of 24 sides from across the country who have qualified for the finals of the FA Umbro Fives at the newlook national stadium on November 23.
Having made it through local and regional heats, they line up in Group E alongside MDU, Neptune and Libyan Stars.
They will have their work cut out as MDU won the event last year but Carnation go there in confident mood.
The team, which includes Pakistan goalkeeper Iltaf Ahmed, triumphed in a national charity competition just down the road from Wembley in September.
