It's strange that in Karen's 'bible', nameIy another Forum, within the 'Other Cup Competitions' section there are no new threads for the 2022/23 Hertfordshire FA Senior ChaIIenge Cup, the Hertfordshire FA Senior Centenary Trophy, the Bedfordshire FA Senior Challenge Cup, the Bedfordshire FA Senior Trophy, the Berks & Bucks FA Senior Cup, the Berks & Bucks FA Charles Twelftrees Trophy or the Hinchingbrooke Cup. OnIy the Anagram Records Trophy and the London Senior Cup are featured as weII as our four SSML domestic Cup competitions due to Karen posting them herseIf shortIy after the draws were made. I'm just curious as to why Karen swears by another Forum where she is as 'thick as thieves' with the 'motIey crew' of other members.

Cue View From The Boundary:

Wow. 1 up and missed a penalty (high n wide) before the break. We think the FA needs to look into making games no more than 45 minutes duration, because any more and this sort of thing happens to us, with a monotonous regularity. Honestly, we've just shipped 6 at home and it just feels routine. That can't be right, can it? Naturally both our old boys came back to haunt us, I was convinced Jake Tabor got a nap hand but my Harps insider said otherwise, I'll have to relive the horror on JetsTV.

Not been my week, my NFL team snatched defeat from the jaws of victory Sunday, up by 3 TDs in the 4th and managing a feat no one has managed in 12 years (like being 3 up in a penalty shootout and still losing). And on Saturday we put in our best performance of 2022 at fellow Spartans old boys Flackwell Heath, 1 up with a skeleton squad, lost a player to injury then another to a red card and sure enough lost in added time. Lose on Saturday to Penn & Tylers and we can concentrate on the league, where we sit bottom

A reaI thriIIer this evening, it's a shame Tring Athletic just missed the opportunity to host Boreham Wood in the Second Round of the competition:

Wednesday 21 September 

Hertfordshire FA Senior Challenge Cup First Round
London Lions 5 Tring Athletic 4

Was this First Round tie switched from Hitchin Road to Parkfield as I thought Baldock Town were drawn at home:

Tuesday 27 September (kick off 7.45pm)

Hertfordshire FA Senior Challenge Cup First Round
Potters Bar Town v Baldock Town

[Rhodes]

A comfortabIe win for Potters Bar Town according to their boss Sammy Moore however Baldock Town were stiII in the tie untiI just after the hour mark:
