I wonder what the 'misunderstanding' was, the tie will now take place on Tuesday 13 February:

Tuesday 9 January

West Hertfordshire St Mary's Cup First Round

Harpenden Town P Chipperfield Corinthians 

Due to a misunderstanding, our St Mary's Cup tie against Chipperfield Corinthians will not take place tomorrow (Tuesday). A new date will be confirmed as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Jets 6 (six) Amersham 1. We enjoyed our evening. The country's top scorer didn't get a sniff and was subbed at half time with the score 1-0, one way traffic after the break and, without exaggeration, it could have been 10. Best Jets performance since the top of the table win at Biggleswade in the last game before lockdown. Magnificent stuff 💙
