FA CUP ROUND-UP

There are still three Ryman North clubs left in the competition and after last night's 2-1 win for Aylesbury FC against Wingate and Finchley only one SSML club. Apparently Wingate's keeper had a stormer to keep the score down at Haywood Way.

Lowestoft Town, Potters Bar Town and Heybridge Swifts are left flying the flag for the Ryman North.

With Leatherhead unluckily going out AET 0-1 at home to Blue Sqaure South Lewes only town's conquerers Walton & Hersham and their local rival's Walton Casuals remain from the Ryman South.

Matches to be played:

Lowestoft Town look to have a very winnable tie playing Zamaretto Midland League Sutton Coldfield Town in front of their big support at Crown Meadow.

Potter's Bar Town make the short trip around the M25 to face Hakan Hayrettin's Blue Sqaure South Thurrock side. The Fleet are having a great season loosing only one game (versus top side Dover) and are 3rd in the table behind Newport County and Dover Athletic so a tough game in prospect for PBT.

The Swift's of Heybridge after their 'giant killing' exploits of knocking out Blue Square South St Albans City face another tough tie at Scraley Road agianst Zamaretto Premier top side Farnborough who are sure to bring a large support with them.

Walton & Hersham face a trip to Gander Green Lane to play Ryman Premier Sutton United and the Casual's are at home to Staines Town at the Waterside stadium.

Aylesbury FC now representing the SSML face a trip to Chesham United who impressively beat Billericay Town on Saturday. The Moles who are managed by ex Aylesbury United manager Mark Eaton and have a number of ex Duck's players in their ranks will be familiar with The Meadow as United ground-shared their last year when Eaton was in charge.
The Duck's find themselves in a similar situation as Enfield FC in the late 1990's being groundless and now sharing at Leighton Town. They are firmly rooted to the bottom of the Zamaretto Midland league and have NIL points. It was never a favourite place to visit for E's fans but it is sad to see Buckingham Road gathering dust and unused at present.

Aylesbury FC are riding high top of the SSML so what price they replace the Duck's at the end of the season which will enhance the local rivalry even more.

There is an ongoing campaign to bring the Ducks home.
