Flanagan's Football Files

UP FOR THE CUP.

So the league action has started this week , now we start on that magical f.a. Cup journey as all roads lead to Wembley .
Soul Tower Hamlets face a daunting trip to the home of Hendon who in the past fought a gallant fight prior to defeat at the hands of the mighty Newcastle utd.
Frenford face a trip to another club with a glorious cup past, who once took on Leicester city amongst others i am of course referring to the reformed Harlow Town. The foxes of Ilford face s great tie at Cricklefield with the visitors Concord Rangers.
All Esl ties see Clapton Community play their 1st home cup tie against Benfleet , whilst West Essex travel to Witham to play Hackney Wick.
Barking travel the short distance to take on Isthmian League newcomers Buckhurst Hill. Great Wakering & Romford have home ties against Takeley & Barton Rovers respectively.
Sporting Bengal face a really tough trip to Haringay Borough ,whilst Hullbridge sports have a home ties against former Esl side Hadley.
Although it doesn't seem so important to the big clubs this trophy & all its history still means a hell of a lot to clubs at our level, not just financial rewards on offer but also the prestige that still goes with competing in the world's oldest knock out competition, I wish all our clubs all the best interests their ties, same sd I wish them all the best interests their league campaigns this season.
