CARLTON Town and Ilkeston FC are gearing for a huge weekend of FA Cup action.

Both clubs are at home in the world's most famous football club competition and just two wins away from the first round proper.

Carlton play host to Bradford Park Avenue at Stoke Lane tomorrow having reached the third qualifying round for the first time in their history.

There is also £7,500 prize money at stake for the winner of the tie, another huge incentive for non-league clubs.

Ilkeston FC are back in the competition for the first time since reforming as a club and Kevin Wilson's side entertain Gresley.

Ahead of the big weekend, Carlton boss Les McJannet said: "The FA Cup is a brilliant competition with so much history and it would be nice if we could make a bit more history by taking the club even further."

Robins manager Wilson added: "The last time the club was in this competition, as Ilkeston Town, we made the first round so it would be some achievement, as Ilkeston FC, to reach that stage in our first season back in the competition.

"That is what we aim to achieve that, it would be very nice to create some history."
