The draw was made on MNS earlier, Pike Rovers at home for us. Great draw. They're not a terrible team by any means but we obviously should be winning it.

Would have preferred an away trip to one of the premier clubs but hopefully we can get through this and maybe get one in the next draw..
b0lloxs to that - non league opposition until the semi's at least! :)Quote:

Its about as good a draw as we could have hoped for, be happy one and all.
I would say Pike are better than some of the current First Division sides judging by reports all across the country.
Meh, junior football tends to overrate itself while in division 1 people say every single year that it's the worst one ever. And then the cup comes round and the juniors get mashed.
Or win. Like Cherry Orchard last year. :(Quote:
