Captain Amin Rafiq believes Horspath can take another step on the road to Lord's in the Cawston Press Village Cup at Goatacre in the sixth round on Sunday (1pm).
Buoyed by a dramatic one-wicket win in a last-ball thriller against Clydach, the skipper feels his side can keep the dream alive when they tackle the Dorset & Wiltshire champions in the last 16.
Speaking after the nerve-wracking success over the Swansea side, he said: "I think as soon as you get to the national rounds you always come up against good quality opposition.
"I am not expecting it to get any easier but with the players we have we think we can beat any team on our day."
The fifth-round triumph saw Horspath hold Clydach to 185-8, before man of the match Dan Todd took the home side to the brink of victory with an excellent 83.
In a nail-biting finish, the last pair of Ryan Hicks and Liam Turnbull then saw the hosts over the line at 186-9 to the delight of the home supporters in a crowd of around 300.
Reflecting on the victory, Amin added: "It was an amazing win. To get over the line in that fashion is always great for team morale and when you are on a cup run with this kind of interest it means that bit more.
"We know how much the Village Cup means to the members and to the players here. For the boys to put up that performance is a great advert for Horspath Cricket Club.
"I think obviously the pitch was a bit on the slower side, so it was not easy to score freely and at the halfway point I was happy with that total.
"It was a great credit to Clydach the way they fielded and bowled. They made it a real challenge and for us to come out on top was great."
The captain was full of praise for Todd, adding: "What a brilliant innings. I am chuffed to bits for Toddy. He deserves days like that for everything he does for the club. I am really pleased for him.
"He glued it all together. We always said that if we can take it deep we backed ourselves with the firepower in the lower order. Dan was really good. He bought a bit calm to our innings."
Hicks and Turnbull, who secured the 11 runs needed for victory off the last nine balls, also received a special mention.
"It was just the way they took it to the last over and kept their cool," said Amin. "It's credit to the side we have that we have guys can who win games of cricket that way."
Todd said: "That has got to be up there as probably one of my better innings. I thought if we get to the end we will be fine.
"Wickets were falling around me but I kept going and tried to rebuild. They bowled well and fielded well and didn't make it easy but we got over the line.
"There is no better feeling than to do it in front of your supporters, for the club and the people behind the scenes.
"Ryan and Bully at the end were as calm as anything. Credit to them for getting us over the line. I thought they handled it really well."
Hicks, who scored the winning run off the last ball, added: "We always said we can take it deep. We had a bit of luck with the inside edge for four and Bully was brilliant out there, saying 'we'll take it to the last ball'.
"In my head it was there to be hit but I didn't want to commit to go over the top. Bully said get bat on ball and we will be quick enough to run. It just happened that we managed to get through and what a feeling.
"It's the first proper tight one we've had in the competition and people were running on with 300 here."
Now the focus turns to Goatacre, who have a rich history in the competition, having been crowned national champions in 1988 and 1990 under legendary captain Kevin Iles.
On the first occasion, the final was replayed at Beckenham the following day after rain halted Goatacre’s chase after just one over at Lord's
Undeterred, the Wiltshire side bowled out Himley for 192 with Iles picking up 4-46 before scoring 91 not out to seal a four-wicket win - a display which remains the best all-round performance in a final.
Two years later, Iles more than made up for missing out on lifting the trophy at Lord’s, blasting a 39-ball century as Goatacre defeated Dunstall by 50 runs.
He was eventually dismissed for 123, a knock which remained the highest individual score in a final until 2016.
This time, Goatacre have had a relatively smooth passage into the last 16.
Having received a first-round bye, they swept aside Horningsham by 10 wickets with left-arm spinner Adam Tucker taking 3-3 and Will Nichols 3-21 as the hosts were bowled out for 92, before Toby Horton hit an unbeaten 60.
Goatacre were on the road again for round three where they beat Avebury by 43 runs in a high-scoring encounter. David Miles (65) and opener Alex Samuel (54) set them on the way to 274-4, before Tucker (3-38) shone with the ball again as Avebury were held to 231-9.
Playing at home in the regional final, Goatacre cruised to an eight-wicket win over Potterne, who were bowled out for 126 with Miles taking 3-25 and then hitting an unbeaten 36 to steer the side to 127-2.
The Wiltshire side showed they have strength in depth in their last-32 tie at home to Stithians, recovering from 19-3 to post 275-8 and set up a 106-run win.
Toby Kershaw (60) and Conor Taylor (53) hit half-centuries, before Jif Wilkins, with an unbeaten 40 off 18 balls, and Ewen Kenny, with 39 not out from 11, shared a blistering unbroken stand of 76 for the ninth wicket.
The Cornish visitors were then bowled out for 169 with Taylor taking 4-35 and Wilkins 3-48.
Despite their success in the Village Cup this season, Goatacre are having a tough time in the West of England Premier Cricket League, sitting bottom of Premier 2 Glos/Wilts with a record of seven defeats and two abandonments from their nine games.
The prize for the winners is a home quarter-final against Charlton Kings (Gloucestershire) or Temple Cloud (Somerset) on Sunday, July 19.
