Rhodes Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 West Essex aren't going to be pushovers this evening and took care of Crawley Green in the last round who are obviously a step higher in the Pyramid however what New Salamis lack in matching West Essex's ability they will make up in passion, commitment and a never say die attitude on the pitch which was always instilled into them by George Georgiou, it's such a crying shame the great man is not still part of the Club to enjoy the fruits of what he created: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Kyri Portou completed his hat trick four minutes into stoppage time before the interval however West Essex have pulled a goal back, hopefully it's too little too late: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing seems to have been said about certain massive protest marches that have happend over the last 3 or 4 months (When Covid-19 deaths were much higher) ? or the packed beaches over the summer ? but if it's non league ⚽ then lets just shut it down or place lots of restrictions on it no questions asked. 2 minutes ago, Rhodes said: Final result, you can already hear the rustle of the balls in the velvet bag at 12.30pm on Monday: Friday 11 September FA Cup Preliminary Round New Salamis 5 West Essex 1 New Salamis are on ?

Winslow Boy Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Listened to live commentary of the game. Winslow weren’t in it at all in the second half, will be interested to hear thoughts of those that were there as to why we didn’t reappear after half time.

GRS67 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 A great effort by Edgware Town who came up just short in the Gloucestershire sun as having scored a stoppage time equaliser they bowed out of the FA Cup 2-4 on penalties at Fairford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admission £6/3, with a 50 pence booking fee on each ticket. Programme £2 Harpenden is effectively a commuter belt town on the A1081 between St Albans and Luton, albeit a very nice one. The town is currently extending it's swimming pool complex in to a full leisure centre, the building works being slightly delayed by the Covid Lockdown... there is a Pay and Display council car on Amenbury Lane, and the access road to the football ground is in the far corner. I had the 16 year old nephew with me, and as he lives in the town, I parked up at his house. Temperature check on arrival, and a single turnstile with a new looking shed attached. I was very happy to see a printed programme available. The club had arranged for a craft beer bar and a burger van to be sited at the entrance, there was also an extra outside cubicle portaloo...which I didnt use. Walking in to the ground, a small temporary scaffold providing shelter is very near to the entrance. Further along the touchline at the half way point is the Main stand, with 4 rows of plain benches. We carried on walking down towards the far goal, the pitch has a railing, but no mesh, so be prepared to act as an honourary ball boy... The ground is entirely surrounded by hedging/brambles/trees....at least 3 balls were lost over the top of the trees in to the main park next door, during the game. Harpenden were basically outplayed throughout the game. Very few shots for Harpenden in the first half, and Aveley pushing forward, with a rather good number 9, whom I think did score one of the goals. Harpenden upped their game in the second half, but it still wasn't enough, Aveley showed their class, and also had 2 disallowed goals. Overall an enjoyable game in the glorious sunshine.

Winslow Boy Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Should have had it won by half time but then never really got going in second half. Few of the more experienced guys missing and it probably played a part, Risboro are a good team though, will be another tight affair on Saturday in the vase.

With a long history of being the giant-killed, City avoided any upsets with a very dominant performance over Biggleswade. Sharman scored early on and City were soon 2-0 up through Olukanmi. United gain a foothold in the game towards half time and looked like they might have a chance before Ingrey's goal just before the break ended the game as a contest. Sharman scored late on to make it 4-0. A decent crowed of 293, my ticket bought in advance but you could pay on the day. A fair sprinkling of visiting fans plus a few neutrals hoping to see ex-Ranger Nacho Novo but he wasn't in the ground. City are issuing a full glossy prog this season at £2. Reasonable attention to the Covid restrictions by most supporters, the biggest issue being the narrowness of the pathway along the front of the original part of the stand at Bridge Road that leads to the tea bar.
