Oooooh so excited!!!! *jumps up and down* You're scary, you are! I haven't thought about this in 10 days; I quietly pop on here to remind the undecided, and you freakishly do a post 3 seconds later! I think I'll go and lie down now...

I've gone local this year and I shall be visiting the Pilkington XXX ground in Kings Norton, Birmingham today to see my adopted cup team for this season, Cadbury Athletic, take on Alvechurch. I intend to follow the winners whilst the games are still regionalised as long as they don't clash with Solihull Moors' home games.

CADBURY ATHLETIC 1 ALVECHURCH 1
Well, five quid to get into this Extra Preliminary Round FA Cup tie with a free 32 page all colour programme. I'm impressed. It's chucking it down. First of all I notice a name I know, Tim Clarke, ex-Coventry City, ex-Halesowen Town, ex-Evesham goalkeeper between the sticks for Alvechurch. "You've put on a bit of weight since I last saw you, Tim," I said, "I put on weight every hour", says he. We're off to a good start.
Cadbury put the pressure on early, obviously up for gaining a scalp at this early stage of the cup. A lot of slightly mistimed tackles which the ref, a dead ringer for a dwarf Garth Crooks, generally lets go. It is pissing down and the surface is very greasy. Not a great deal of goalmouth action but a lot of good effort. The ref and the lino miss two blatant shirt pulls from Alvechurch defenders inside the box before a right wing cross after 30 minutes results in Cadbury's no.10 Simon Williams planting a beaut of a header right in the keeper's top right hand corner. No chance. 1-0 to Cadbury's. This was in fact only the second attempt on target by either side, lots of near misses but before that only Alvechurch had had one shot on target which brought a diving save from the Cadbury keeper. Alvechurch, much the more physical side, seemed out of sorts and it looked like they had underestimated the Cadbury team's determination to progress. On 40 minutes a neat move by Alvechurch down the right resulted in a passing movement which brought the equaliser. The Alvechurch no. 8 was lucky to stay on the pitch when, after being cautioned for a bad tackle, he blatantly pushed the Cadbury no. 8 in the area from the resultant free kick. The last few minutes of the first half belonged to Alvechurch who suddenly seemed to have woken from their stupor, 1-1 and two yellows for Alvechurch.
The second half started with Alvechurch upping the tempo considerably and seeming to be a cut above a Cadbury team that had little to offer except last ditch defending. Slowly Cadbury got back into the game and put lots of pressure on Alvechurch, who resorted to blatant fouling, resulting in another two yellows. In the last twenty or so minutes Cadbury's produced some excellent football and came close several times, finishing well on top but without increasing their score.
The final result of 1-1 means they will meet again at Alvechurch next Tuesday night for the replay.

Rocester are through to the next round! Coalville Town 1 [glow=black,2,300]Rocester 2[/glow]Rocester opened the scoring on 28 minutes with a low shot by David Shaw and dominated the first half. After half time Coalville came back into it with a 52nd minute shot by Michael Swan making it 1-1. When a replay at the Hillsfield ground seemed likely Rocester pulled out a last minute winner through Ashley Sheridan. Match Report from www.rocesterfc.com/Final Score: CTFC 1-2 RFC Goalscorers:[glow=black,2,300] 28 - David Shaw[/glow] 52 - Michael Swan[glow=black,2,300] 90 - Ashley Sheridan[/glow] Yellow Cards6 - Mark Williams[glow=black,2,300]28 - Martin Heath[/glow]49 - Craig Attwood 57 - Jermaine Gordon[glow=black,2,300] 83 - Neil Bennet 90 - Nick Ward[/glow] Red CardsNone Attendance: 135 Rocester Celebrate their first goal.
In the Preliminary Round Rocester will now face either Coleshill Town or Wellingon FC at home. Coleshill & Wellington drew 1-1 in the first match at Coleshill and will have a rematch on Tuesday at Wellington.

Pagham 1, Hailsham Town 1This was tinpot for so many reasons. Largely because Hailsham were missing EIGHT first-team players - most of whom were attending the wedding of reserve team player Chris Widdup! Lee Barnard scored the Stringers' goal - and as luck would have it I've been asked to cover the replay for the Eastbourne Herald tomorrow...
