Redhill are so close to their first cup final in a decade that they can almost smell the silverware.

But when the Reds meet Peacehaven & Telcombe in the semi-final of the John O'Hara League Cup next Tuesday, manager Marcus Alcindor will be looking to make amends against the East Sussex side.

Redhill have played Peacehaven twice already this season, suffering a 2-1 loss in the league and a 3-1 defeat in the Charity Cup, but Alcindor believes Redhill are a different team now.

"Peacehaven are a decent team. Our losses to them earlier in the season were our most deserved defeats," he said.

"We are going to try our best and if we are at our best then a win is definitely possible. We are a different team to when we lost to Peacehaven; we were a new ensemble back then. Now we've been playing together much longer and know each other better."

Redhill should have John Difford and Chris Hubbard back for the match, to be played at Three Bridges Football Club, and Alcindor admits the atmosphere is high around Kiln Brow at the moment.

"Redhill haven't had any silverware in about 10 years and so everyone at the club is very excited about the match," he said.

"If nothing else it should be a spectacle; it should be a fantastic match. The boys are very much looking forward to it and want the win.

"Calvin Headley is suspended after picking up five yellow cards and he's gutted to miss out.

"But, we should take a good crowd to Three Bridges, including my family who are all coming down."
