Matthew Ferguson is hoping fate can play its part in helping H&W Welders pull off another Irish Cup shock.
Paul Kee's side have been the giant killers of this season's competition knocking out top flight duo Newry City and Glenavon to progress into the quarter-finals.
Friday night though sees their toughest task yet as Premiership leaders Larne visit the Blanchflower Stadium in the last eight.

Ferguson, though, feels the Welders can take heart from previous years in the tournament as they bid to create their own little piece of history.
"There always seems to be one club who has a good cup run," he told Welders TV.
"Ballinamallard made it through to the final a couple of years ago, and Loughgall, Lurgan Celtic and Queens have all progressed into the latter stages of the tournament over the last number of years.
"Maybe this is our year. It would be even better to go and win it, that's dreamland but if you don't believe it will never happen.
"We've already had two great wins against Premiership opposition, especially going away from home to Newry and then Mourneview.
"They were special wins for us and it was absolutely great to be involved in it."
The striker does not have to look too far for some Irish Cup inspiration as his father Glenn picked up five winners' medals in a prolific Irish League career.
However, Ferguson junior, the Championship's current top scorer with 17 goals, is focusing on his own game and helping the Welders achieve success as he gets back to his best again following two knee dislocations which kept him out of the game for two years.
"I just wanted to get back playing football and enjoy it again," he said.
"I had great rehab with the physio, which gave me a fantastic platform to come back on, and the boys coming in helped me through it as well.
"Paul (Kee) has trusted me as well and given me plenty of match time and thankfully I've been able to repay him with plenty of goals.
"People will obviously talk about it (his dad's record), but I'm happy playing my football, and as long as I try my best and give it all for my career.
"This is the furthest I've ever been in the Irish Cup and I'm proud of that.
"I might even go one better to the semi-finals, who knows, and one day I might win it. All footballers dream, you have to.
"Friday night comes first though and we'll see what happens after that.
"It's going to be a good night with a big crowd here and the boys are looking forward to it.
"The players want to go out and win the game for the club."
