A crowd of 278 were at The Shooting Field to see Steyning come through that day and Murphy is hopeful of a similar turnout on Saturday.
He said: “We are really excited about our game against Banstead in the FA Vase, we’re hopeful of a big turnout from our fans.”
Dave Herbert, Ellis Martin and Scott Jones struck in the space of five minutes inside the first 20 minutes to fire City to a comfortable RUR Cup triumph over Steyning.
