The last Quarter Final tie takes place on Wednesday evening, good luck to Raunds Town:

Raunds Town made a brave fist of it last night at Hall Road and took the lead shortly after the interval through Nigel Chikamba, however in the end it was a bridge too far for them and Eynesbury Rovers progress to the Semi Finals along with Eaton Socon, Stotfold and Godmanchester Rovers:

Lets get ready to rumble for the Hinchingbrooke Cup Final this evening:

You can tell, reading between the lines of Stotfold boss Brett Donnelly's statement, that he wasn't best pleased with his team's performance last night, disappointingly losing the Hinchingbrooke Cup Final 1-0 to Godmanchester Rovers, however he explains it away cleverly by saying promotion to Step 4, for the first time in the Club's history, was beyond his wildest dreams:

Didn’t turn up tonight.. gutted as a cup to finish the season would have rounded it off nicely. However we done something in getting promoted that was beyond our wildest dreams so we’ll take that. Praise to all my players.. forget tonight but learn from it. Season done.
