I gather that the Salisbury U18 side triumphed over our Hawky equivalent in the - and here's the thang; the Hants U18 Floodlit Cup last night. Played at WLP it was toooooooooo....... 'Ere. How long has salisbury bin in 'Ampshire then??   No doubt it was a goo game though - I've seen our academy side a few times and it makes a refreshing change from some of the so called Senior stuff we experience, I can tell you!    |

'Ere. How long has salisbury bin in 'Ampshire then?? That's a question that's been asked on our forum on numerous occassions! We've got a team in the Hants Sunday League and so can play in their Cup competitions apparently. Actually nearly all our junior sides, plus our ladies and girls play in Hampshire competitions - our ladies have just knocked Beastleigh out of the Hants Cup semi final - good girls! Geographically we've got far more in common with Hampshire than the rest of Wiltshire thanks to the Salisbury Plain and the road/rail network which is rubbish if you're trying to go from the south of the county to the north. No doubt it was a goo game though - I've seen our academy side a few times and it makes a refreshing change from some of the so called Senior stuff we experience, I can tell you! Defintely agree. Some of the most enjoyable, and relaxing, times this season have been spent watching our reserves and youths. |

Worcester City used to play in the Birmingham Senior Cup (beat West Brom at The Hawthorns one time quite recently) - and I seem to recall someone like Moor Green or a club around that area played a few times in the Oxfordshire Senior Cup years and years ago

We played in the Welsh Cup until 91 (?)

We've had many geographical interlopers playing in the Birmingham Senior Cup over the years: Tamworth, Nuneaton, Leamington, West Brom, Wolves, Walsall, Redditch, Evesham to name but a few. Moor Green regularly played in the Worcestershire Senior Cup until the merger with Solihull Borough - the area of Moor Green, whilst being in Birmingham, was also in Worcestershire when the club was founded in 1901 and as such were also members of the Worcestershire FA, the Birmingham FA and the FA itself.

Do you know whether Solihull Moors are able to compete in the Worcs Senior Cup then? I've had a look at the Birmingham FA and Worcs FA websites but neither have any information about who their members actually are, although the Worcester Invitation Senior Cup seems to imply that if you're non-Worcs then you can be invited to enter and lists Aston Villa and West Brom as illustrious former entries.

I believe that the Worcestershire FA can invite non-Worcs teams into their competition, at their discretion.

Shropshire Senior Cup has on a couple of occasions included a big name from outside Shropshire to try and liven things up a bit, not in recent years. Though with Bridgnorth winning the West Midland League their promotion to the Midland Football Alliance earns them senior status so next season we have a 5th team! Possibly even a 6th with Ludlow and Ellesmere both trying to get 2nd place in the WML. It's a far cry from 3 years ago when the first round was a final between Shrewsbury and Telford as we were the only two senior teams in Shrosphire.
We used to take part in the Welsh Cup, winning it on 3 occasions (1901-02, 1905-06, 1939-40) though they have since decided we're not allowed to enter - spoil sports!

'Ere. How long has salisbury bin in 'Ampshire then?? If I had my way, we'd devolve power and join Hampshire where there's decent roads/cricket/beaches etc. Who wants to live in a County no one's heard of; one which doesn't actually qualify as either South-West or South-East England; with weird stones cluttering up the fields all over the place, and UFOs buzzing over all the time, scaring the chalk horses; not to mention the boredom caused by a near absence of crime. Then again, Hampshire's got no bustards!  |

Talk to Oswestry, they managed to merge with a Welsh side, the wonderful Euro-tinpot TNS. Does that mean that TNS could enter the Shropshire cup, as they are a senior side from Oswestry? stop |

I don't think they're elligible as they are part of the Welsh FA rather than the English FA or Shropshire FA. They play in the Welsh Premier atleast and aren't involved in FA Cup either, that said to be in the FA Cup you have to play in the SSC if you are in Shropshire, that's how they get everyone invovled in their county cups.
We play them every preseason but not as part of the SSC.

Then again, Hampshire's got no bustards! You'd be welcome, I'm sure! It appears true then that wilts is officially the dullest county in the land. It must also be true that the ability to alleviate the boredom with splendid beers is a selling point though! |

Didn't stop FIFA trying to block their merger with TNS though, because apparently they're from different countries. After they'd done their research they skulked quietly back into a corner. stop |
