Last eight
Rushall Olympic
Banbury United
Berkhamsted
Royston Town
Paulton Rovers
Taunton Town
Walton Casuals
Swindon Supermarine/ Wantage
Based on the way the previous rounds have been drawn what is the likelyhood of the matches being the same as the groupings above?

Almost certainly, and if venues are to be based not on the drawing of names but on travelling so far in the competition, then Banbury, Berko, Paulton and Swindon/Wantage will be at home.

Rushall started last night's match with the same XI that beat Coalville 5-1 on New Year's Day. Banbury included only two starters from the team that beat Coalville in December and yet came very close to winning. Any Rushden observers present will have something to think about.
Another healthy attendance for a league cup tie following the 305 against Thame; 400+ is a rarity. Previous: 405 v. Clevedon in the 2nd leg of the 2012 final and 535, 488 and 411 in 77-78 when Banbury reached the QF as a Div One team.
BTW, Rushall's first equaliser was an own goal...

From the thread on the Rushall league match three days after the FA Cup exit against Barrow: AW on playing after a big match: "I know another team in our league didn't want to play tonight after their exploits at the weekend but we're better than that." That was a reference to Stratford's mysterious postponement against Hednesford on the same night. In his post-match interview on Tuesday: "It just shows this football club is going places, when we had ten of our first team players missing today. We had two fit defenders so we didn't want to risk them...We could easily have said we hadn't got enough players, but that's not us at all." |
