Halifax's Morgan: Anything Can Happen In The Cup

By David Richardson

The FA Cup is known for its drama and no one needs to tell that to FC Halifax Town striker Adam Morgan.

In last season's competition, the 23-year-old struck a stunning hat-trick for National League North Curzon Ashton in their televised second round tie against AFC Wimbledon of League One.

However, the Dons produced an incredible comeback from 3-1 down to win 4-3 in the last ten minutes to crush Curzon's dreams and the bitter disappointment of Morgan, despite claiming the match ball.

Now Morgan gets set for the FA Cup again, this time with Halifax and a visit from National League rivals Tranmere Rovers.

"It was a great run [with Curzon] but we should really have got into the third round," Morgan told the Halifax Courier. "But the club earned a lot of money and got a lot of publicity from the run and that's what counts. Curzon are a fantastic club and I've got a lot of love for them.

"I now know that anything can happen in the cup, even if you’re 3-1 up in the 81st minute. Nothing's ever won in cup football.

"But we’ve got the ability to beat Tranmere and hopefully I can be part of it."
