BLACK Country Rangers will enjoy a brush with the big-time this Saturday when they travel to Matlock Town in the Emirates FA Cup Preliminary Round.
Rangers booked their spot after enjoying an emphatic Extra Preliminary Round Midland League side Bewdley Town in front of a bumper crowd at Ribbesford Meadow.
Former Coventry United marksman Muzi Nduna put Rangers in front from a close range header before Bewdley battled back to level at the start of second half exchanges thanks to a Dylan Hart header.
Rangers raised the stakes from that point with Nduna going onto complete his hat-trick while Chris Spencer converted twice to seal a significant victory.
Dudley Town narrowly missed out on FA Cup qualification have since moved to boost their firepower with two new key signings.
The Robins have recruited former Bilston Town and Redditch United striker Dimitri Dunkley together with one-time Stourbridge prospect Alex Cameron.
Cradley Town have also added to their attack by tempted striker Chris Bladen back to Beeches View Avenue.
Bladen netted 78 goals during previous spells at Cradley.
