I could hardly contain my excitement as
I saw Penistone Church FC appear on the TV screen this morning as one of the BBC's featured games. PCFC were playing PCFC! Pontefract
Collieries and hardly a miner amongst them. Some of the language was
industrial but both teams gave a great account of themselves with two
switch off moments by the home team at throw ins that led to the
goals. Penistone lost 0-2.
There would have been a couple of
hundred watching, it cost me £3, the bar was busy and the subs and
ball boys continue to play in the penalty areas wearing out the
goalmouths. The poor groundsman must be tearing his roots out.
So the dream ends for PCFC and PCFC
march on.
Other results were registered on the teleprinter from yesterday
with Coleshill Town grabbing the headlines by beating Ellesmere
Rangers 11-0.
My brother would have gone to Ampthill today to watch them lose 0-3 to Risborough Rangers but he had to go to a
barbeq. Que?
There were 184 games played in the
Extra Preliminary Round with Royal Wotton Bassett Town FC probably
the longest named club and Cove FC, the shortest. Glebe FC didn't
make their tie, being “not accepted” and United Services Portsmouth Club kept the flag flying.
Steve Harmison once an Ashes hero finds getting Ashington FC through the tie difficult as they only drew 2-2 against Albion Sports FC.
