The Opposition
Aldershot Town finished 16th in the National League during 2024/25, recovering from an inconsistent start to keep distance between themselves and the bottom four.
A wonderful sequence of results during February, March and into April saw them stabilise in the division, winning an impressive 9 out of 12 in all competitions.
The Hampshire outfit saw off Wealdstone, Chertsey Town, Boreham Wood, Sittingbourne in the FA Trophy before booking their place at Wembley with a stunning late winner in their semi-final against Woking.
Shots boss Tommy Widdrington won promotion from League Two with Moors counterpart Graeme Lee in 2002/03 when the pair played together at Hartlepool United.
