Terry Hawkridge eager to replicate Lincoln City FA Cup run with Notts County

Terry Hawkridge is hoping that he can embark on a successful FA Cup run with Notts County this season, much like he did with Lincoln City last year.

The Imps went all the way to the quarter-finals of the competition in 2016-17, the first non-league team in 103 years to reach the last eight.

Hawkridge was a key component of the Lincoln team that made it that far in the competition, as well as sealing promotion to the Football League.

Now at Notts, who are preparing for their first-round encounter with Bristol Rovers at Meadow Lane on Friday, the winger spoke of his aspirations.

“Obviously what we achieved at Lincoln was something incredibly special and we went on a great run which gave us plenty of memories,” he told the Nottingham Post.

“I would love to do the same with Notts this season and it would be amazing to see if we could go one better as you always set out to try to go as far as you can.

“But you cannot get too far ahead of yourselves. We’ve got a very tough game on Friday night and they will want to experience exactly the same.

“We’ve got an excellent home record and nothing to fear, so it should be a good game.”
