Today Villa become the second Waterford team to contest a FAI Centenary Cup quarter-final this weekend.
Yesterday, Hibs lost out 2-1 to Pike Rovers after extra time.
Conor Coad's Villa saw their way past St Michaels of Tipperary in their last 16 clash
Goals from John Frederick Tamen, Cian Browne and Eoin Rea hlped them towards a 4-2 win over their Tipperary oppenents last time out at Connors Park.
Today, they host Peake Villa of Thurles and the manager says they've had a great run, but now it's a case of getting the job done:
"Yes, it's a great group and [it's good to have] home advantage. We've had a good draw so far all the way and it's just a case of making that count, I suppose.
"It's only a good draw if you come through."
Continuing, Conor said that while their league campaign took a dip in recent weeks, he's hoping they can put it together today to book a place in the semi-final:
"We've been going well. We dropped a couple of points there in the league a few weeks ago, which was a bit disappointing but again, the lads have reacted to that really well.
"We're still fighting in all competitions and it's just a case of taking it a game at a time and keeping going."
Peake Villa will provide tough competition today, being equally hungry for that semi-final spot.
But Conor says they're ready for it:
"It's a great game to look forward to and it's lovely to have a home draw. Peake Villa had a great win in the last round against Freebooters so they've come down a young side full of confidence.
"But we're looking forward to it and we're ready to go."
They kick off in Connors Park for that one at 2 o'clock.
