Stafford Rangers striker Darrhyl Mason has set his sights on an FA Cup upset as the non-league side prepare to face Grimsby Town in the first round proper on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The Northern Premier League outfit dream of causing a shock against their League Two opponents at Marston Road.
Mason, who has been in fine form for Rangers this season, believes his team can compete with higher-league opposition. The fixture represents a significant opportunity for the club to progress in the world's oldest cup competition and potentially secure a lucrative tie in the next round.
Grimsby Town, currently competing in League Two, will enter the match as favorites but will be wary of the cup's capacity for surprises. Stafford Rangers, backed by their home support, will look to exploit any complacency and write another chapter in FA Cup giant-killing folklore.
