Sunday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final between Crewe Alexandra and Southend United will see two Devon-born players out to get their hands on the trophy.
Kingsbridge-born Mark Ellis, who joined the Alex from Torquay United last summer for £80,000, will be looking to make it third time lucky after missing out on playing at Wembley twice during his four years at Plainmoor.
Mark, 24, was left out of the final 16 for the Gulls' 2008 FA Trophy final squad and was forced to watch from the sidelines a year later when Torquay clinched their return to the Football League by beating Cambridge United 2-0 in the Conference Play-Off final.
As well as missing out on playing at Wembley twice, Mark was also a non-playing substitute when the Gulls reached the League Two Play-Off final in 2011, which was played at Old Trafford, and was a key member of the Torquay side that missed out in the Play-Offs last season.
For Southend, former Ivybridge Community College student and ex Plymouth Argyle youngster Ryan Leonard will doing his utmost to help the Shrimpers win the competition for the first time since 2004.
Ryan, 20, will also be following in the footsteps of his father Dave Leonard who played for Tiverton Town in the 1998 & 1999 FA Vase finals and later guided Truro City to Vase glory in 2007 as a manager.
After progressing through the youth ranks at Home Park, Ryan made one solitary appearance for the Pilgrims during the 2009-10 season as a substitute against Blackpool before he was released by Peter Reid at the end of the 2010-11 campaign.
Following his release by Argyle, he was soon snapped up by former Pilgrims boss, and now ex Southend manager, Paul Sturrock.
He played a key role in helping the Shrimpers reach Wembley as he scored the decisive goal in their Southern Area final first leg victory over Leyton Orient.
Should he get onto the hallowed Wembley turf, he will be the second former Argyle youngster to appear at Wembley in the space of a year, following in the footsteps of former teammate Joe Mason who scored Cardiff City's opening goal in their League Cup final appearance against Liverpool.
