The cold end's recommended single bet of Lowestoft Town to beat Gloucester City at home at 6/4 looked easy money as the trawler boys won 4-2 in front of an amazing crowd of 2,247. The Suffolk side now face a long trip to Wrexham in the first round proper and again will miss out on playing another league game on a Saturday. With most of the teams in the Division now playing 11 or 12 games Lowestoft have now only played 8 league games and will fall further behind due to their continued cup success bringing the argument of is it better points in the bag or games in hand???
They face their glory day at Wrexham on the 7th November and a week later visit Goldsdown Road to face the Town. Lowestoft last reached the first round proper over 30 years ago in 1977 when they lost at home to then Football League side Cambridge United 0-2. Prior to this appearance in 1966 they travelled to East London and went down narrowly to Orient 2-1 at Brisbane Road and a year later in 1967 they lost at home to Watford.
Well done and congratulations also goes out to Ryman Premier Tooting and Mitcham who won an amazing game at BSP Eastbourne Borough AET 3-4.
This takes the Ryman contingent in the FA Cup first round to four with the following games:
Wealdstone V Rotherham United - To be played Sunday 8th November
Stockport County V Tooting&Mitcham United
Wrexham V Lowestoft Town
Hereford United V Sutton United
The cold end wishes all the Ryman teams good luck and hopes a shock can be pulled off by some of them.
In other betting news the Directors run of losses continued as Redbridge pulled off a surprise draw at GWR and the Boro boys won at home to VCD. The cold end is sure his luck will change soon and he'll be in profit.
