I'll park this here.

Maidstone 3-0 up at Cheltenham with two of the goals scored by Pigott and Hines! :pig:

What larks at Whaddon Road!

 

[AndyT]

So, Oxford City have progressed further than Oxford United.

Hats off to Boreham Wood, as well! :thumbsup:

Gotta feel a bit gutted for the Ebbsfleet fans though, 2-0 up on the break of half time against Doncaster Rovers, and ended up losing 2-6.

 

[AndyT]

The BBC webpage is so slow at updating the highlights of the matches.

They've had the same 10 or so games up there for the last two hours!

 

[mattitouk]

I hope Billericay get smashed tomorrow against Leatherhead (my late father in law apparently used to play in goal for them in the 50's) & Heybridge Swifts get a win against Exeter tomorrow.

 

[AndyT]

That would be a great thing for Heybridge Swifts.

Even a replay would be good. Might be worth going to, as well.

There was a nice short piece on the bbc (i think Friday night about Heybridge swifts) don't know if anyone else saw it? .. but one of the current players is a black cabbie / mini cab driver & he's dad was part of the "real Wimbledon" team that won the FA Cup back in 1988...

I will see if i can find a link....


Here we go.. (i'm not sure it's the full video.. but)..

I believe it is Jack Cawley whose dad is ex Southend player Peter Cawley .

Any relation to Steve Cawley at Concord?

****ed me off that MK Dons got all that publicity on Friday :angry: Parasite team, scary that it's been allowed to happen once, never again.

pretty amazed that would be televised, maybe the justification if that people would tune in hoping to see them beaten.....maybe

Think the BBC did the 1st Round draw from Hyde's ground. Handy, as it's not far from Salford.

I guess they then got caught up in the flow of it and thought we'd better show their game, as well. They did the same with Salford City the other year.

Good little piece, that and good to see Peter Cawley, as well.

 

[AndyT]

A plucky effort by the Swifts.

They scored more goals than we did against a better League Two side, though!

Shame. I had Doncaster to win so Ha! :smile:

 

[AndyT]

Dodged a bullet, there, with the draw!

Hmm yeah ! Port Vale away, bet Yeovil aren’t too impressed

Billericay potentially away to Wycombe

 

[AndyT]

Can't think of the last time we won at Port Vale!

Some interesting ties

Gateshead v Luton
Fylde v Wigan
Coventry v Boreham Wood
