Alvechurch emerges triumphant with a 1-0 victory over Oxford City, and it's none other than Villa Chairman Mr. Douglas Ellis who is pouring champagne to celebrate their remarkable achievement. The journey for these amateurs has been nothing short of extraordinary. Throughout six matches in the qualifying round, they had prepared themselves for this very moment. The taste of success was sweet as the champagne had traveled an impressive 450 miles alongside them.
