The Chairboys enter at Round 2 this season, presumably as the Academy team and to give them more potential games.

Not sure why Reading get to enter 2 rounds after us given we are both L1 sides

The three professional clubs normally enter at the QF round but we and MK have presumably taken the option of entering earlier for more potential games, for the academy team. I presume Round 1 is a bit too soon for us. Edit - Round 2 will be in October.

Cracking result for Holmer Green, I can remember Amersham beating them 8-0 in the league not that long ago. Scotty has got them well and truly on the up, just one league defeat in eight.
The secound round draw, when WW Academy enter, is on Friday at 2pm.

Tonight’s result.
AFC Aldermaston 2-1 Langley (HT 1-1)
Excellent, thanks for the update, Steve. You’re not the only one hoping for a Winslow v WWFC draw. I grew up in Winslow before moving to High Wycombe age 11. Would love a trip to see the Chairboys at ‘The Gate’…

Like the idea of going in “early” so as to give the academy lads some more games in men’s footy. Will actually go along to watch it if I’m not too relaxed.
Winslow would be ideal, otherwise Holmer, Penn, Risborough or Newport Pagnell would be ones to look forward to.
Holmer Green are going great guns at the moment, hopefully they can get play-offs at least this season and a run in the cups. Shame the same can’t be said for the first local non-league team I ever visited and followed (Chalfont).

I’m hoping a good away draw for us tomorrow for a good crowd and gate money for a local team. Holmer Green or Penn&Tylers would be a good outcome.

What a great draw. Let’s hope we get a few fans there
It’s a great draw Parking can be tricky there. They have enlarged the on site parking but you have to be careful where you park in the village.
This will be the first time we’ve played a competitive fixture at a ground where i’ve played!
