Frenchville are continuing their FFA Cup march, taking down Across the Waves in a see-sawing preliminary round clash on Saturday.
Hard-working midfielder Jackson Lems scored in the 95th minute to seal the dramatic 4-3 victory in Bundaberg.
The result means they now host Queensland National Premier League team, Magpies Crusaders, on Saturday in the next stage of the national competition.
Frenchville coach Mat Wust said it was fantastic for the team, and it would be great for them to have the home ground advantage for this weekendâs classic showdown.
âItâs going to be massive,â he said.

Gold Coast Knights captain Roman Hofmann has cautioned his side not to be complacent as it prepares to face a Magpies Crusaders team that he says has the potential to finish in the NPL Queensland top four this season.
The 2019 grand final winners will enter the match as favourites owing to their state league pedigree of seasons past, but Hofmann said Mackay’s start to the 2021 season meant Saturday’s clash would be a hotly contested affair.
“Based on what I’ve seen they look like a team that will be pushing towards the top four possibly,” Hofmann said.
