Match details

AFCRD next in action this Tuesday evening v Bugbrooke St Michaels in the Semi Final of the Hillier Senior Cup

<BUMP> Tomorrow evening

Chance for all 5 of Saturdays subs to get 90 mins. As we only have 16 first team players now also a chance for u21's and U18's on the bench. P. Sports had walkover v Daventry in first round, won 8-0 at Desboro in second have walkover in semi. Very poor of Brackley to claim injury crisis. I bet they would have played a league match.

Great to get the result but worrying signs that if our main starting 11 not all there, we look a very different team( no.Nando Bully or Ty starting tonight). Nathan looks tired. Why didn't Snellus start?Where is Jesse? Squad of approx 16 now is way to light IMO. Hopefully Peaksy will address before Sat .

Interviews with AFCRDTV

A reminder to us all to keep our feet on the ground. Being pushed to the limit by a Step 6 side on our own patch was unexpected and fair play to Bugbrooke for making a real game of it.

I wondered initially why we had gone quite so strong with the initial XI, but quickly realised it's because we don't have anyone else! The squad is looking very thin all of a sudden.

Decent crowd I thought considering the opposition and competition, swelled by a cat!

If Slinn is not fit for Saturday we are down to 4 subs.
Maybe Fraser Corden will get the call. We now face possibility of playing P Sports three times in short period. League, whenever that gets sorted, Hillier Final and play offs.
