LIAM NASH believes the ‘heart-breaking’ prospect of not playing football for months has been the key factor behind Hornchurch’s fairytale run to the FA Trophy final. The former Gillingham striker has bagged six goals in the Urchins’ run to Wembley and goes into the showpiece occasion against Hereford as the competition’s top scorer. Far from using it as an excuse, however, Nash believes the Urchins have used the lack of regular action as the driving force behind ensuring Trophy matches have continued to appear in the diary. The prolific frontman, 25, said: “We have treated every game as a cup final – now we’re in one. And Nash’s prolific form has given him confidence he can rise to the occasion in front of the 3,000 Hornchurch fans who will be roaring their side on.
