Welcome to the players, officials and
supporters of Newport Pagnell Town for
this Berks and Bucks Senior Trophy match.
Happy
reading, and
enjoy the
game! Neal
Good evening and welcome to this County Cup tie for which the prize is a
home tie with National League side Maidenhead United. After a winless
streak stretching back five games to October 9th it goes without saying we
crave a home win tonight and facing The Magpies would be a night to be
savoured. But our visitors tonight are in good form in the United Counties
League Premier South – well placed in 4th (P16 W13 D1 L2) and on a six-game
winning streak during which they’ve conceded just one goal. I believe
whoever wins tonight will need to play Maidenhead on or before 30th
November which basically means a home game two weeks today! The best
thing I can do is put a link into the Berks and Bucks website, here and you
can work all the fixtures and byes out for yourselves (or at least try to…it’s
not that easy!!!).
Amazing away support! Click the

Ladies' supporters celebrating
with their team last Sunday
(opens in twitter).
Away from the Men’s game some of you will have seen the Ladies’ FA Cup tie
last Sunday and they gave a really good account of themselves against a
team from two divisions higher – losing 4-0 to Chichester and Selsey in front
of a crowd of around 100. I also had a scan around the other Women’s FA Cup
fixtures and I simply had to put the clip in above – Clapton’s women’s team
took 300-400 fanatic supporters to Bedford, won on penalties, and then it
was pandemonium. Take a look at the clip via the link above and turn the
volume up! Back to us, and after tonight it’s a tough home league game
against St Panteleimon this Saturday before the unenviable tough midweek
drive to AFC Croydon in the league cup next Tuesday. Hmmm… Anyway, enjoy
the game! Neal.
