RUSSELL Slade admits he is relishing the prospect of facing a Premier League outfit in the semi-final of the Joma South West Challenge Cup.
Orient will now face top flight newcomers Blackpool in the last four of the competition down in Devon on Saturday, with a place in the final up for grabs.
“What we wanted was at least three games from this week and we knew the third game was going to be a good contest,” said Slade.
We've got a Premier League team to face now and that's perfect for us at this stage.”
Orient earned their place in the semi-final thanks to wins over Eastleigh and Truro this week.
