Ben told Stoke City FC: "It was a great feeling to reach the final.

"As soon as we got into the changing rooms after the final whistle there were four or five bottles of champagne waiting for us and there were camera men in as well taking pictures, so it was an unforgettable night.

"There's talk of a big crowd going to the game, hopefully forty or fifty thousand, which will be a test in itself for me because I have never played in front of crowd anywhere near that in my career.

"To be honest I don't know whether I'll be able to play in the final at Cardiff, I hope so though, we'll have to see what happens".

Ben's progress at Wrexham has also been impressing many at Stoke who have been following his progress.

"He's played well ever since he joined them and he's proving to be very popular at the club," said Dave Kemp, the City Coach.

"I watched him on Tuesday night and he did very well and it'll be a massive game for him if he gets to play in the final.

"I'm sure we'll be doing everything we can to try and make it happen in terms of his loan deal.

"I could see from watching in the stands during the game how much the crowd like him down there and how much he looked like he was enjoyed taking part in the game."
