IF any team is going to pull off giant-killing heroics in the FA Cup on Sunday then Robin Hood would have to be the bookmaker's favourite.

The Commercial League outfit, which once got to the semi-finals of Bermuda's biggest cup competition, face Premier League strugglers Devonshire Colts who have just two points.

Hood dispatched Division One tabletoppers St. David's in the last round 4-2.

Manager Paul Scope said: "We were proud of that. We were 2-1 up until they equalised ¿ you would have thought they would have gone on and won it in extra time but our boys showed our potential."

Not that Scope is making any bold boasts ahead of Sunday's tie as he points out his side aren't even top of the Commercial League.

Scope has done his homework on Sunday's opponents and was already well aware of the abilities of Aljame Zuill, now Colts' new player-coach, from his involvement with the Bermuda Hogges and the national team.

"He's still one of the most dangerous strikers in Bermuda. We have to have a plan to keep him quiet."

Scope is pleased Zuill's striker partner Phil Anderson is away for the clash although he is also wary of striker Kyle Jones.

"We will have to be organised, patient and hope for a bit of luck."

Hood, who used to dominate the Commercial League, have been rebuilding in recent years and have a good mix of experience and youth, believes Scope whose contacts in the game go deep.

"With a lot of luck and application on the day we have an underdog's chance."

Keeper Jason Simons is expected to be fit after taking a knock at the weekend but Scope is not that worried if he needs to draft in reserve keeper Randy Darrell who once minded the nets for Bermuda.

"My biggest problem is we have a big squad so picking a starting eleven is a nice dilemma."

Commercial A League leaders MR Onions take on a revived North Village, now under the stewardship of former top pro Shaun Goater, who ironically was on the score sheet for Village's Commercial side at the weekend against Onions during Rams' 3-2 defeat.

MR Onions manager Phil Anderson fears the Goat could be suiting up for Sunday's clash.

"It's going to be a very difficult tie but it is something we are looking forward to and hoping for an upset. All the lads are going to be up for it ¿ an FA Cup on a decent pitch against a team where the manager is a former pro."

Anderson, who also plays in the Premier League for Devonshire Colts, has some first-hand knowledge of the Village.

"They are a good team but not as strong as they have been in recent years. They are not pulling out the best of results."

But he said Ralph Gumbo Bean up front and midfielder Keith Jennings will be a handful to contain.

"I think the weaknesses tends to be their defence ¿ they have shown that in a few of their Premiership games. They leak a few goals now and again. It might give us an opportunity if we are strong at the back ourselves and take our opportunities we can make the most of a difficult game.

"Maybe the Goat will fancy playing ¿ I wouldn't be surprised if he is at least on the bench. Obviously someone like him can always poach a goal."

Anderson said Goater's goal on Saturday came after he was given too much time on the ball.

Onions' record in the FA Cup hasn't been anything to boast about in recent years. The last decent run was in 2005 when Onions beat Premiership Southampton Rangers to reach the quarter-finals. In recent years they have been dumped out by Social Club and St. David's.

But Anderson is upbeat about Sunday's clash. He said: "We have a got a nice strong team, a good structure and we don't leak too many goals. If we maintain our form against better opposition ¿ with a bit of luck there's always an opportunity to upset one of the big teams."

Anderson, who will be off the island for the weekend cup action, but will stay in touch with stand-in coach Jon Tindall on the day.

Meanwhile Tuff Dogs face a tough tie against Southampton Rangers. Tuff Dogs president Manny Faria said his team was finally injury free ¿ a factor which helped in the surprise 2-1 win over St. George's Colts in the previous round.

"The boys fought hard and we came through, now we have the honour to play Rangers."

Faria said Rangers had experienced an up and down season so far.

"They are very much a league above us and probably a class above us but we will give it all we've got and leave it on the field and see what happens.

"We are not going into the game scared or intimidated but I am not going to tell you that we are going to beat them. It will come down to our back line and how well they do."

Faria said Rohan Simons and Travis Wilkinson could be a big threat for Rangers. "They will be younger, fitter and faster."
