Hythe break our record

[Coffin Ender]

They became the first Kent League team to reach the FA Cup 1st Round in 53 years today. The last team to do it was...us. We lost 2-3 at home to Crystal Palace in 57/58.

Yes but the Kent League of 1957/8 was equivalent to today's Conference South in hierarchical terms. Excellent achievement by Hythe though.

Probably a better achievement for Hythe now, than it was for Margate back then. I think dad might have played in the Palace game.

Hythe away to Hereford.

 

Dartford, if they beat Leiston in a replay, at home to Port Vale.

 

If Dover beat Farnborough in their replay they face a stack of their old staff at Gillingham.

[SteveB]

If we had beaten Kingstonian, St Albans and then Luton we would be at Corby Town.

[Broadstairs Dave]

Luton played Corby once before in the up around the time the steelworks closed, banana skin then, cant remember the result but no quarter asked or given i can still feel the tackles and i was watching!

All of a sudden, the FA Trophy has become a vastly more important cup than the FA Cup.

 

Massive game next week-need the prize money to fund a couple of loan players for a month by the sounds of the injuries and suspensions
