Bovingdon now look forward to a lucrative Second Round home tie against Tring Athletic:

Is it correct that Bovingdon have been reinstated in the competition following their 2-0 home defeat to Tring AthIetic on Saturday 18 December, see the match report and youTube highlights, did Tring AthIetic commit an offence:

I note that the kick off time off time was very quickly corrected on Full Time, no news of any goals at the Boundary Stadium as yet.

There were 5 for the record. Unfortunately 3 of them in our net, and Crawley Green deservedly progress for the unenviable trip to rampant Hadley. Good luck to them.

Ampthill Town v Bovingdon

Karen - Thanks for posting the revised draw, so Bovingdon were reinstated in the competition following their 2-0 home defeat to Tring AthIetic last month, what was Tring AthIetic's 'crime' out of interest.

SSML Challenge Trophy Second Round
Codicote v Harefield United

Last nights Second Round tie between Codicote and Harefield United was caIIed off again due to a waterIogged pitch and has been re-arranged for Wednesday 23 February. It is frustrating for Leverstock Green who were due to traveI to the winners on either Tuesday 22 February or Wednesday 23 February.

SSML Challenge Trophy Second Round
Codicote v Harefield United

This one has surprisingIy gone ahead this evening with the score currentIy, and unsurprisingIy, 3-1 to the visitors despite Richard Pacquette not traveIIing to the John Clements Memorial Ground, Louis Bircham, Harry McCorkell and Zak Jackson have netted:

Interesting that Andrew Brennan is at Preston Park now, cracking player. 

[Rhodes]

View From The Boundary - He must be highIy regarded at Preston Park as he has Richard Pacquette's number eight shirt in the great man's absence. I gather Andrew has spent his whoIe tweIve year senior career at the Boundary  Stadium apart from speIIs with North Greenford United and Sun Sports.

Richard Pacqette he isn't, he's a combative midfield ball winner in the same mould as our Harry Beaumont and Vass Mandeville. Like them he's not the tallest but he has an unerring ability to win everything in the air. He must have boots like Inspector Gadget.

Two SSML Challenge Trophy Third Round ties this midweek, it's another heaven made opportunity for Milton Keynes College Football Academy to pit their wits competitively against higher opposition following their impressive 4-0 win over Rushden & Higham United in the Second Round:

Tuesday 1 March (kick off 7.45pm)

SSML Challenge Trophy Third Round
Flackwell Heath v Ardley United
Wellingborough Whitworth v Milton Keynes College Football Academy

[Rhodes]

Both ties went ahead last night, Milton Keynes College Football Academy found themselves 2-0 ahead after an hour but unfortunately ran out of steam and once Wellingborough Whitworth pulled a goal back the writing was very much on the wall. As for Ardley United it was very much a smash and grab raid on Wilks Park where they led early on, despite Flackwell Heath throwing everything but the kitchin sink at the visitors they somehow managed to hold firm to progress to the Fourth Round.

Tuesday 1 March 

SSML Challenge Trophy Third Round
Flackwell Heath 0 Ardley United 1
Wellingborough Whitworth 3 Milton Keynes College Football Academy 2
