Maidenhead United striker Tobi Sho-Silva is looking forward to "testing his wits" against "better opposition" when his side take on Crawley Town in the FA Cup first round on Saturday.

League One Crawley will travel to the National League side's York Road ground in Berkshire for a match they will be considered favourites to win.

"Sometimes you want a smaller team but we get to test our wits against a higher quality opposition," Sho-Silva told ´óÏó´«Ã½ South Today.

"You’re always excited for this cup and it’s nice to get a bit of a break from the league too, we want to win and that never changes though.

"For a club like ours, what is on the line is big and it’s great for our profiles as well, we want to have the chance to be drawn against one of the bigger teams."

Maidenhead are currently 19th in the National League with 16 points after 16 games so far this season.

Sho-Silva, 29, has previously made the first and second rounds of the FA Cup in a career which has included spells at Charlton Athletic, Sutton United and Carlisle United.

"At the end of the day once the whistle blows it’s just 11 against 11, the same white lines on the pitch ands two goals, we’ll crack on with it," he added.

"Seeing the jeopardy of the FA cup has been really nice, you just never know where it can take you, I’m always excited and have a good feeling for the FA Cup."

Crawley are currently 22nd in League One, with three wins, one draw and nine defeats.
