success in that department could depend on how quickly he can get his players' minds away from their recent FA Cup glory.

The Second Division team qualified for the FA Cup for the first time on Sunday when they beat Hotels 2-1 in the semi-finals.

But between now and the April 13 final against champions Boulevard, Wolves know there is still work to be done.

The last time the team came off FA Cup success -- against Vasco in the previous round -- they could only manage to squeeze out a 1-0 win over Paget in the league. Brown isn't being generous to the opposition when he says that the next two league matches against bottom-half-of-the-table teams Hamilton Parish and Prospect will be tough games.

"I told them we need to get back to the league,'' said Brown. "We have two important league games coming up before the Shield semi-final (against Somerset) and we definitely can't take them lightly.'' When Wolves last played Parish they needed four late goals to run out 5-0 winners after Parish kept it close going into the closing minutes. Prospect took a 3-0 lead against Wolves before they came back to 3-2 at the half on their way to a 5-3 win.

"Since I've been at Wolves I've noticed there is a rivalry between Hamilton Parish and Wolves for braggers' rights,'' said Brown. "At this stage I don't expect any favours from anybody. There won't be an easy games.'' Wolves, who have not been in the First Division since they were relegated in 1991, are making a strong bid to return to the top flight. But with Hotels running away at the top it looks as though Wolves, Somerset Trojans and Somerset Eagles will have to battle for the second spot.

By the time they walk out on the National Stadium pitch in April, Wolves will know where they will be playing next season.

"I'm glad the FA final is in April; now we can go out and concentrate on our league matches,'' said Brown. He acknowledges also that the competition for places in the team should help to keep everybody on their toes over the next few weeks.

"That will take away the complacency in the players, knowing that we still have a lot to play for. When I was playing everyone wanted to be on the stage at the National Stadium and it will be good to hve guys battling for places.'' One of the key decisions Brown made on Sunday was to bring on veteran defender Kirk (Dasher) Douglas in the second half. That enabled young John Barry Nusum to push further forward as they searched for the equaliser. In the company of players half his age, Douglas, who plays for the Wolves Commercial Division team, added maturity and stability to the defence.

"He (Douglas) knows his role,'' said the coach. "We were going to use him if we got into trouble and I saw (on Sunday) that John Barry was very effective going forward so I figured Dasher could come on at the back and let John Barry use his talent going forward.'' The victory will no doubt bring the Hermitage Road community together as the cup final looms. Several former Wolves players were seen watching the match on Sunday.

"I'm very happy for the players, the spectators, club and community in general,'' said the coach. "It's been a long time coming and the hard work they have put in over the years is starting to show.''
