Parkgate won 2-1 away at Brighouse
Maltby at Runcorn but no result yet
As already mentioned, good wins for Parkgate and Maltby but a loss for Stocksbridge. Frickley squeaked through 10-1 but there were even more goals at Clitheroe with a 6-6 draw against Sunderland RCA. Surprised you wasn't at that one Monty?
BBC still keeping me in suspense over Biggleswade as their result not showing yet. PC Penrose wouldn't be laughing
Due to the first in a series of one day strikes by Northern Rail (Yesterday and the next 5 Saturdays) my options were limited to bus travel.
I had a choice of 3 games....P*nistone Church v Runcorn Town or Frickley Athletic v Liversedge, both in the FA Cup or Hemsworth MW v Harrogate R.A in the NCEL.
After watching Barnsley U18's lose 2-0 to Cardiff City U18's in the Development League at Oakwell Academy (K.O 11AM) i tootled off to P*nistone Church.
In hindsight the 10-1 win for Frickley, with Des's lad Jacob Hazel netting an hat-trick, would've been the pick of the bunch goalwise, but i still saw a good FA Cup tie at the Memorial Ground, P*nistone, with Runcorn Town ending up 3-1 winners.
£5 entry, £1.50 programme, £4 for Steak Pie, Chips and Peas, 4 pints of Stones £2.75 a pint.
So with bus fares, just over £30 for a good day out seeing 2 games. (The Barnsley game was free admission).
The next round is played on International break day September 8th so if anybodies looking for a good FA Cup footy fix that's easy on the pocket, then look out for the draw which takes place this Wednesday.
Just realised that Northampton Sileby Rangers are still in the cup (Give us an "N"...). Not quite as long a name as Northampton O.N.C. F.C ... earlier in the thread but not bad going. Seems like non-league football is thriving in the Northampton area
Thanks for the report Zippy.
Just done a bit of 'surfing' and it looks like the waterlogged pitch abandonment reported on the BBC was total boll.ocks. The match was abandoned due to a clash of heads and having to await an ambulance. Biggleswade had fought back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 but the game will now be replayed on 4/9. Match report here

Also seeing that they are saying the winner of their replayed game will visit FC Romania in the next round. That's a long way to go in the FA Cup To further complicate our Biggleswade theme it looks like Biggleswade Town are also entering the competition in the next round with a tie at Chesham Utd. That's assuming the draw has actually been made as there's nothing on the BBC website and Zip said it was happening Wednesday?
