Road to Wembley - Inside track on the Abbey

Waltham Abbey are only 12 games away from Wembley, they must be worth a flutter Ready?

They meet Enfield Town in the 1st Qualifying Round on Saturday. Enfield will start favourites, they are in a a league above and will have the advantage of being at home.

But our money is on The Abbotts and here is insider info on our boys:

- They play in the Essex Senior League
- Fellow sides in the division include Romford, Basildon United and Hornchurch, who dropped from the Conference South because of financial difficulties.
- They play at Capershots in Waltham Abbey
- Barrington Brotherton and Albert Bostock (you couldn't make up this stuff) are two of their best players.
- Manager is Bob Ballard
- Best pub near ground is the Welsh Harp in Market Square
- They play in green & white hoops
