The name of Noah Keats will be on the pitch during this weekend's FA Cup Final...

AS WELL as being represented in the pre-season singing of Abide With Me, The White Tigers will also have an on-the-pitch presence at Saturday’s FA Cup final.
As part of their Ball For All initiative, The FA has placed the names of 137 goalscorers from this season’s competition on the Cup Final ball to be used at the 137th edition of the showpiece fixture.
The Ball For All celebrates a selection of players from Step 6 of the National League system through to the Premier League, who all share the accolade of being a goalscorer in the world’s oldest domestic cup competition
The names have been selected to include goalscorers from every round, beginning at the Extra Preliminary Round through to the semi-finals, with a national spread across the country and also include a selection of the season’s most memorable and impactful strikes.
We are delighted to announce that Noah Keats will be featured on the ball having scored the goals in the memorable fourth qualifying round victory at Hampton & Richmond Borough which confirmed our place in the first round proper for the very first time and the first Cornish representation at that stage of the competition since 1969.
Andy Ambler, The FA’s Director of Professional Game Relations, said: “One of the most special things about The Emirates FA Cup is that a goalscorer in the Extra-Preliminary Round shares the same accolade as some of football’s most famous names. Over three thousand goals have been scored in this season’s competition, from all levels of the football pyramid and the 137 from across the country are representative of all who have contributed to this season’s competition.”
At the close of the season, The FA will have distributed a total of £14.6 million in competition prize money to the 737 competing teams.
