Danby took charge of Harrogate in the summer

Harrogate Railway manager Nigel Danby says that his side are full of confidence for their FA Trophy third qualifying round tie against Nantwich.

Railway, of the Evo-Stik First Division, are unbeaten in nine games in all competitions.

Danby told BBC Radio York: "We're going into it full of confidence and we're looking forward to it."

Railway were beaten 5-0 by Thackley in the preliminary round of the FA Cup and now meet the Evo-Stik Premier Division side for a place in the first round proper of the Trophy.

"I know one or two of the players who've been down there a while and I'm sure if we can shackle them we'll have a good chance," added Danby.

"We'd like to still be in the FA Cup but the FA Trophy is the next best thing.

"We're doing well in it. It would be nice to bring a bit more money in and help out."
