Was anyone present out of interest at the 17-0 drubbing last night, I know it's not Arbroath v Bon Accord however I wonder whether it's close to the record win in the competition:

St Ives Town v Kempston Rovers (Monday 30 September)

A very good 3-2 FA Youth Cup Second Qualifying Round win for Kempston Rovers youngsters last night at St Ives Town. Basford United v Corby Town's First Qualifying Round tie was postponed again so surely Wellingborough Whitworth should now get a bye into Third Qualifying Round:
