It's that time of year again when here on MM we start the season long road to the FA Cup Final where no doubt eventually some big time Charlies will lift the trophy and chuck it in a box somewhere whilst they concentrate on The Premiership or Champions League. It was nice to see a 'smaller' team take the spoils in 2021 with Leicester winning out in the end.

So who can we put the mockers on in the preliminary round? As usual some great named teams turning out, one last night that made me particularly peckish was New Salamis but they unfortunately bit the dust at the first attempt. As our usual starting point of Maltby Main are a goal down at the time of going to press I'm going to go with another 'local' interest as our team to follow and aplogise to Grumpy for wandering over the SY border into Barnsley territory.

All hail P.enistone Church F.C. Come on you.......actually they don't seem to have a nickname!
