Lee Worgan can hardly believe Maidstone are facing Wrexham as equals – two years on from their FA Cup clash.
Keeper Worgan was busy as the Reds flew at Ryman League United in a 3-1 second-round victory in north Wales.
Back-to-back promotions have seen the Stones join Wrexham in the National League and they meet at the Gallagher on Saturday.
Worgan, a former Wales under-21 international, said: “It’s crazy. You’ve got to pinch yourself as a player and I guess that goes for everyone.
“To think a couple of years ago you’re playing Wrexham and it’s our biggest cup game and now we’re equals with them in the league.
“It just shows you how far we’ve come in such a short space of time.
"I remember Wrexham having the ball that night! I knew the assistant manager at the time and he said that was the best they’d played all season.
"They’re a good side, another massive club and one that should probably be in the Football League.
“But we’re level pegging with them now, we’re at home so I don’t see why we can’t approach the game to win it.”
Tom Mills, Alex Flisher, Jamie Coyle and James Rogers are the other survivors from Stones’ FA Cup run.
Worgan added: “There’s a lot of the lads who were part of that journey who are going to be playing. These are massive clubs coming down to the Gallagher now."
