OXTED'S Ross Warnes is targeting a special day for the hockey club as they bid to reach the semi-final of the England Hockey Board Men's Knockout Cup.
The O's are already as far as they have ever been in the competition as they prepare to take on Bromley & Beckenham in the quarter-final tomorrow (Sunday).
And having already beaten their local rivals 3-2 away in the league in November, the Oxted skipper said the team will travel to Kent full of confidence of progressing even further in the competition.
Warnes said: "This is the furthest we have got in a national competition and now we have a chance to try and go even further and maybe push for a national final, which would be very special.
"We go into it with some confidence and we will go and give it our best shot.
"They are our local rivals, but we always enjoy playing against them. They are never easy games and they are usually quite gritty, but it should be interesting."
And with the winners of the clash facing the victors of the all Premier Division match-up between Beeston and Hampstead & Westminster, Warnes says Oxted have a chance to put the club on the map.
"It is an exciting prospect," he said.
"We could make a bit of club history and at this stage of the competition, it certainly becomes more important as we are in with a shot of putting the club on the map."
However, Warnes is concerned Oxted are going into this week's double-header of league and cup matches slightly undercooked.
"We are straight back into it without too much training really," he said.
"Like everyone, we have struggled to train much outdoors due to the recent weather.
"We had a really positive indoor campaign, but as far as outdoor training goes, it has been difficult.
"But we will be training hard this week to get ourselves as ready as possible for the weekend."
First up is a trip to Old Loughtonians on Saturday and Warnes said Oxted are still targeting a top three finish in the Men's Conference East, with the side currently in sixth place - just two points behind Bromley & Beckenham in third.
"Our aim this season was to finish in the top three and I still think that is achievable.
"We are facing a resurgent Old Loughts side on Saturday - when we played them early on in the season they were struggling and we beat them 3-2.
"But they have since picked up a couple of players and have improved over the course of the season.
"We expect them to be stronger and we know it will be a tough game, but we are looking forward to it.
"And the league is so tight at the moment, if we get a few wins then we can push towards the top."
