Darren Turner back on the road to Wembley

Now 42, the hooker has pulled the boots back on and, after helping Holmfirth side Underbank Rangers pull off a surprise first-round win over leading amateurs Leigh Miners Rangers, has set his sights on a place in Tuesday's third-round draw.

Standing in his way in Saturday's second-round tie are National Conference premier division side Kells and Turner is eyeing another shock.

"It's a brilliant competition and one I'm enjoying being part of," Turner said. "We know it's going to be a tough ask on Saturday against Kells, but the magic of the Cup might help us through again.

"It was a bit nerve-racking playing again a couple of weeks ago. I've had to buy a new pair of boots but it was good to be back out there.

"I've been in the gym recently and I've got a little bit more time on my hands, so I thought I'll give it a go. I've really enjoyed the training down at Underbank, I've got so much respect for them all.

"That Leigh game has taken it out of me a little bit, I must say. I'm 42 now, so I'm not as young as I once was. I just felt really fit and I've got a lot of respect for the club and it's where my son plays as well."
