FA Cup 2018/19

[doveranddover]

starts this saturday

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45105292

The BBC will broadcast one game from every round of this season's FA Cup qualifying, starting with Haverhill Rovers against Haverhill Borough.

Saturday's extra preliminary round tie will be streamed on the BBC Sport website, app and iPlayer.

Commentator Conor McNamara will be joined by former Watford forward Danny Webber for the 12:30 BST kick-off.

The FA Cup trophy will be on display at Rovers' New Croft ground before the Suffolk derby.

 

[Atavistic]

My local side Yaxley are away at Swaffham Town to start this year's FA Cup campaign, with the winner set to play away at either Daventry Town or Potton United in the Preliminary Round.

I'm disappointed I can't go to this one, but I'll be keeping an eye on how things progress from whatever match I find myself at.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

They'll follow Billericay until Salford come in.

 

[Atavistic]

Wasn't there yesterday, but we beat Swaffham 3-1 and will play away at Daventry Town next round, after they beat Potton United 9-2.

As for me, I was at Stowmarket and watched them lose 2-0 to Basildon United in an even but unexciting game. Decent crowd of 282 though.

 

[DarkSithLord]

My local side Heanor crashed out at this stage. for 5th time in the last 6 years to Lutterworth. Another poor result. No wonder the club is struggling. Their cup record is shocking.

Good win for South Normanton at Sleaford though.

 

[Jemfy]

Diamonds starting in the FA Cup this weekend away to Deeping Rangers, 2nd time we've faced them in the cup (away both times) since we were promoted out of the UCL. I guess we always have a high % chance of meeting UCL clubs given our location.

Potential banana skin, Deeping tend to be a better UCL side and normally reasonably canny operators, though I can't say I know much about their side. Hopefully we'll have enough to progress, which is important this year due to the increased prize funds for each stage, and for the fact we won't be looking to compete too much at the top end of the league, so a good cup run could be a good focus for the first half of the season. It could easily be over before it begins though.

I don't know if either Ben Diamond or Tom Lorraine will be available through their injuries, nor if parent clubs will allow Leon Lobjoit (technically dual registered with Brackley) or Albie Hopkins (youth loan from Oxford). I expect the latter to be allowed to play, but you never know. All 4 of these are forwards, and we're also looking at a couple of potential absences elsewhere on the pitch too.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Prestwich Heys v Radcliffe Fc is the game being broadcast on the BBC Website.

Good opportunity for local sides Long Eaton and South Normanton to progress to the next round against Grimsby Borough and Quorn respectively.

I See Yaxley were invovled in a crazy 12 goal thriller at Daventry!? Losin 7-5?


Local sides South Normanton, Long Eaton and Kimberley Minsers Welfare all lost out in tight ties but Belper progressed avenging a defeat to Lincoln United at the same stage last season.

I See Yaxley were invovled in a crazy 12 goal thriller at Daventry!? Losin 7-5

Not the only 12-goal thriller of the day, as Clitheroe and Sunderland RCA played out a 6-6 draw. Both of my local sides who got this far went through.

 

[appletablepenny]

Yes, saw that Clitheroe result, 4-0 and 5-2 up they were.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Ha! Carshalton are out already

 

[B2TF]

Newly formed Ossett United winning their tie 4-0 in front of over 400 fans. A summer merger of Ossett Town and Ossett United who have held a bitter blood-feud since Albion splintered acrimoniously from Town in the '40s. Playing at Step 8, where both clubs were last season, they are drawing crowds more than double their combined averages of recent times. How Tin Pot is all of that?

 

[rudebwoyben]

Ha! Carshalton are out already

I thought that they join it at the next round?

 

[DarkSithLord]

I thought that they join it at the next round?

Due to the pyramid reorganization some sides promoted from Step 4 to Step 3 last season have joined a round early. Not sure how it was all worked out though. Hyde and Bedworth were other examples as were Rushden and Diamonds

First time in 65 years Carshalton how gone out this early.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. A bit unfair on them.

That’s a matter of opinion

 

[E10rifle]

That’s a matter of opinion

Think you’ll find that having a bitter rivalry with Carshalton is a matter of otinion.

Staveley through also if we are wrapping up Derbyshire sides.

This season's early prize money. Almost worth starting earlier!

Got to win to be worth going in earlier! The increased prize fund though is good news as it finally means a bit more money coming to lower non-league clubs, with every entrant guaranteed at least £750.

Not going to lie I was surprised when we came in at this stage, I thought we would come in one round later with the promotion, it seems like the FA failed to re-jig the numbers to sort out the byes in a fair manner, so decided that promoted teams wouldn't get them (not sure if it's all or some, maybe the champions got them). I guess it's the least-worst way of waiting a season to fix the system, or perhaps they will make all the promoted sides wait a season for the extra bye. It seems the southern league were also surprised as they had originally scheduled us to play a league game on Saturday!

Diamonds drew at Deeping 1-1 and we have to play again on Tuesday 4th September. Not fantastic with the injuries we have had recently, players seem to be limping off every game right now. At least we return to home advantage and hopefully play much better and secure a win. I'd optimistically suggest we could have more players back then, but we had 2 more hobble off in our league game on Monday (although 2 other players also returned during that game too).

 

[Jemfy]

Didn't spot that the draw for the first qualifying round is out. Teams entering at this stage that make the first round proper (if any) will make £55k in prize money alone.

The winner of the Diamonds vs Deeping replay will have another tough game travelling to Hayes & Yeading

[Jemfy]

Diamonds handily saw off Deeping 3-0 in the replay last night, setting up a trip to Hayes & Yeading on Saturday.

They beat us twice last season in the league, and I can see them doing it again on Saturday. AFCR&D have not yet gone out of the cup to a side in a lower division, but this could be the first time.

We've got a good record of going reasonably far, and this year would be a great one to really focus on the cup with the increased prize money. A shame for us we've been given such a tough tie so early on.

 

[Darlo On Tour]

BBC sport's cameras will be at the Muglet Lane home of the Northern Counties East Football League Premier Division club to screen the lunchtime kick-off between Maltby Main and Frickley Athletic for their all-Yorkshire tie on Saturday.

 

[Darlo On Tour]

Newly formed Ossett United winning their tie 4-0 in front of over 400 fans. A summer merger of Ossett Town and Ossett United who have held a bitter blood-feud since Albion splintered acrimoniously from Town in the '40s. Playing at Step 8, where both clubs were last season, they are drawing crowds more than double their combined averages of recent times. How Tin Pot is all of that?

The animosity between the two clubs seems to be building a few bridges, unbeaten in the league after four matches and sixth in the East Division table.
With the experienced Adam Priestley, Aidan Chippendale and Thomas Corner taking care of business in front of goal. The future looks bright for the two merger club's.

 

[DarkSithLord]

First Qualifying Round tomorrow. Already a big cup shock tonight with Staveley Miners Welfare turning over 9 man Basford United 3-1. Very surprised at that.

 

[GTFCfish]

Can’t wait to watch Salford fucking City when it comes to the final qualifying round.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Belper and Matlock have crashed out I see but a decent 5-2 win for Buxton at Barwell.

Burnham winning against Bury Town and Knaresbrough scoring 7 against Kendal from the level above catch the eye.

Found myself in the area to see Paulton Rovers and Basingstoke Town in a fairly entertaining 1-1 draw. Paulton unlucky not to snatch a winner at the end. Nice modern ground with a lush sloping pitch, an hour by bus from Bath Spa railway station. The 20 Basingstoke fans brought six flag, two drums and made quite a noise in a very hardeyesque village. Made a pleasant change from watching Maidstone lose 1-0.
