5th May - Hillier Cup Final

[AFCRD_Dan]

Couple of score predictions on Ploppies Forum of them to win 4-0 or 5-0. !!

When was the last time we played K*ttering?

Which will make it that much more sweeter when we beat them!

I think Northants Police judge it to be a derby by the police presence planned

Is it...isn't it???? The debate will always roll on. In my own opinion no until we play them in a league, new club for me so tonight is the first game between the sides..

Just seen the score. Oh gees. I mean I'd trade in this for a win on Monday but this is the only thing that gets close. What an UNBELIEVABLE result. To all the playing staff, it means the world to us, to beat a scum club who have always been jealous of us and everything we achieved, this is just gold. In 6 years we've gone bust, reformed, and ended up still beating them. Just crazy!

Unbelievable. What a great result to go into the close season!

K*ttering, do you never learn? We're AFC Rushden, and we're better than you!

Well bugger me sideways with a brush. I never saw that coming. Great result boys, well deserved after the season we've had.

Fantastic from the lads - beating a full-strength team from the league above. Considering many of them went through extra-time on Monday, just goes to show the great spirit our lads have. Congrats to Peaksy and all involved.

Good game from the lads. Sounded like although we won they were the better team - just shows how far there is to go! Don't think any of us would have even imagine beating K*ttering 4 years ago. We can be proud of what we have achieved so far.

I don't care (at the moment) that it's a Hillier Senior Cup game. That was ****ing epic!

Let's not kid ourselves, K*ttering looked far better than us, but they created very little by way of meaningful chances in the second half and we defended incredibly well. How the hell our lads pulled that sort of performance out the bag considering we've got 6 cup-tied and another 3 injured, played 120 mins 3 days ago and had 3 players starting that have probably only managed 100 minutes between them this calendar year, i'll never know!

A great way to end the season after what happened on Monday. Get in!!!
