The FA Cup is now 2 rounds old & on Saturday 30th August the 1st Qualifying Round takes place (all 3pm kick-offs). Local sides have a good representation at this stage so if you’re not going to Stevenage you may like to take in one of these matches:
Aylesbury Vale Dynamos v St Albans City
Berkhamsted v St Ives Town
Burnham v Jersey Bulls
Chatham Town v Marlow
Epsom & Ewell v Risborough Rangers (@ Cobham FC)
Flackwell Heath v Lewes
Burnham v Jersey Bulls kicks off at 2:15, cash only on the gate.
Must have been some great scenes at the end there.
Imagine scoring two late goals to win a game. Wait, imagine scoring two goals. Hats off to the Heathens.
If you like your content earthy and authentic, then here are the goals from Flackwell’s victory. With no filter needed.
That’s a pretty good representation of the weather conditions! It felt like a game that Lewes would strangle the life out of if they got in front, fair play to Flackwell for turning it around with some good substitutions and digging deep against a Lewes team that could have adapted better to the pitch and conditions.
Brilliiant, i was hoping someone would have these!
The draw was made today for the 2nd Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. Matches will be played on Saturday 13th September. Here’s who the local sides came out of the hat:
Billericay Town v Berkhamsted
Chesham Utd v Kings Lynn Town
Hemel Hempstead v Real Bedford or Bishops Stortford
Soul Tower Hamlets v Flackwell Heath
Welling United v Slough Town
Soul Tower Hamlets sounds like a radio station I’d listen to. Tough tie for Chesh but at least they’re at home.
An interesting vlog of the Flackwell Heath v Lewes game, nicely put together for a club of Flackwell’s size.
Flackwell at home to Bracknell in the 3rd qualifying round. Same day as our early kick off at Wimbledon. Should help them attract a decent crowd.
For those looking for a bit of midweek football, Slough are at home to Welling in a replay tonight kick off 7.45 pm
Slough won 1-0 tonight
In attendance at Slough tonight was a certain Mr Ainsworth. Didn’t get a chance to speak to him although putting two and two together it’s possible he was running an eye over maybe some loan players at Welling which is of course not 1,000,000 miles from Gillingham.
Good luck to Flackwell Heath in the Fourth and final Qualifying Round. They head to Maldon & Tiptree tomorrow with the chance to create history and reach the First Round Proper.
Also, good luck to Enfield at Slough…
Flackwell 1-0 down
Maldon are down to 10 but Flackwell miss the pen. All to play for in the second half.
