I think we took Concord by surprise, straight from the kick-off they couldn't cope with our high temp and desire to win the ball back straight away, they looked a team drained of confidence and we continued to press and take advantage, they had a look about them of please don't let his be happening. I would like to add all three goal celebrations were great, nothing better than players running to the fans rather than the centre circle. Not sure about the penalty which was their only chance 1st half. 2nd half we was very professional, soaked up the pressure and hitting them on the break and Finlay just was not going to be beaten. So in the hat, some prize money for the club and another FA Cup day we wont forget!!

As has been said regionalization is still just North and South so because of our geographical position we could play almost anyone. Anyone at home would be great and I would fancy our chances. But make no mistake Concord are not a true representation of the National league. If it has to be away then a trip to Sussex would be fine for me. Hastings Utd, Eastbourne Borough, Worthing or Whitehawk.

What about playing the Ploppies????????

Excellent Result yesterday, couldn't ask for more from the team.

Now as far as i'm aware 33 teams are left in the Northern sections (zones 1+2) and 47 teams in the Southern Sections (zones 3+4) of the Draw.
Based on this 7 teams will have to be reallocated to the North Section if they keep it regionalised.

He came in the stand behind the goal at the start of the 2nd half and mentioned something about going for a scan on Monday, about an on going issue with the cartilage on his knee. Suspected it may need and op, which obviously if this was the case it would be a big blow.

Attendance given as 192 - seems a little on the low side, although 150 of those would have been Diamonds

If that's what they are claiming it's a joke, 260-280 there. But then lots of things there were a joke, the state of the place for a Step 2 ground the total flaunting of FA Cup drink regulations, but with the odd exception everywhere we have been does that, not a single steward to be seen. But then we are getting used to FA rules & regulations, No 1 being "Are you AFC R&D"
