Coventry City's Ricoh Arena will host the final of The FA's newest cup competition on Saturday May 3.

The Midland Combination (Div 1) upset holders Isle of Man League in a nerve-jangling penalty shootout to reach The FA National League System Cup Final, where they will face the Southern Amateur League.

The Manager of the Midland Combination side is Martin Harrison, who works for Aston Villa's Football in the Community Scheme. A qualified physio, Martin also coaches the Birmingham FA's U18 County side, but a win at the Ricoh next Saturday could see him, and his players donning The Three Lions, with the winners going on to represent England in the UEFA Regions Cup.

Talking about his players, Harrison said: "We have a few lads who started out at professional clubs and a lot of our players are fans of all the West Midlands clubs, but none of them support the Sky Blues. However, one of our players - Richard Taylor - was an electrician on the construction of the stadium, so if the lights go out, we'll know who to blame!"

The FA National League System Cup Final will kick off at 7.30pm on Saturday 3 May. Tickets are available on the night, costing £3 for Adults and £1 for concessions.
