Not very tinpot I'm afraid, tonight I am on a scouting mission for Tamworth's next opponents in the Staffordshire Senior Cup (which many would say is Tinpot in itself, but as it is one of the few trophies we have won in recent years I quite like it!).
Rushall Olympic Vs Market Drayton Town.
Rushall, of course, is the site of the infamous "hand stuck to railings due to ice so his mate pissed on it to free him" incident! But it shouldn't be that cold tonight.
I want Market Drayton to win as I have never been to their ground.

The Staffs Senior Cup seems to have had a thing over the years for attracting clubs from outside the county such as Market Drayton.
We played Bridgnorth Town a couple of years back and I remember us losing a 2-legged final 7-1 on aggregate to Kidderminster Harriers back in the 80's.
We've got Sutton Coldfield Town or Port Vale in the next round.

Apparently Rushall staged an amazing comeback in the final 15 minutes to convert 1-3 to 5-3.  Oh well, that's another fixture this season I won't bother with. I'm sure Coops will be along to elaborate / correct the scores / whatever. |

We could have told you all about Market Drayton. We played them in the Shropshire Senior Cup over pre-season. We were 4-0 at half time and could have easily been more. We seemed to not bother much in the second half but still scored a fiftth. Former-Buck Craig Ryan got a consolation goal for the Drayton making it 5-1 to Telford. A lot of their players are Telford rejects, if a certain Andy Pryce was in goal then I can see him conceeding 4 goals in 15 minutes. In his two games with us he conceeded a total of 7 goals - one by his team-mate (but that's a completely different story, I'll bore you with on a later date ) |

Rushall did indeed come back from 3-1 down to win 5-3 but not in the last 15 minutes. They made it 3-2 after 55 minutes and then scored three goals in 7 minutes from the 77th minute.
Still it was a stirring comeback in an excellent game of football, certainly better than anything I've seen from Tamuff so far this season.
Eight goals, four quid to get in, the most delicious lentil soup available from the snack bar, a comedy moment when the referee slipped and ended up in the home dugout and a real ale (Holdens Golden Glow) in the clubhouse.
I had a good night really!
