It was a huge weekend of sport with England’s rugby world cup heroics and the football boys carrying on their Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.

But for fans of non-league football, Saturday was FA Cup day with Rushall Olympic taking on Hednesford in the third qualifying round.

The stakes were high with the winners knowing they would be just one game away from the first round proper and a potential bumper pay day.

Video journalist Andy Toft went along to Rushall’s Dales Lane ground to capture the day on camera.

And he was given exclusive access to the home side’s dressing room in the tense crucial moments before the tie.

Watch his video report and then post your comments below.

    Obviously this report was made by the BBC, as it completely fails to show any football. Why does Andy Toft stop speaking in mid sentence.
