FA Inter League Cup

[Munchkin]

Semi final draw.

 

Southern Amateur League v Teesside League

 

Ssmfl Div 2 v West Yorkshire League.

 

Dates and venues to be confirmed, but understand it will be either 27/02 or 05/03.

[Jets TV]

Good luck to the SSML Div 2 team!

[LoucasX]

Do they ever do this at step 5?

[Munchkin]

Not in this official capacity. The winners go on to represent England in the European version. My understanding is that previously the FA just selected a league, but the rules were changed to say there had to be a competition to determine the entrants.

Trust me it's 3.00pm, I am in the loop lol

It is a late change at the request of the opposition

[Munchkin]

Looking forward to it, hopefully there will be a few from our club over to watch.

Hi Munchkin. Bar will be open from 12:30 as we are showing West Ham v Sunderland on BT Sport which is 12:45 KO.

[Munchkin]

Great thanks. Looking forward to the game and visiting Hertford's ground.

Has the SSMFL side been selected / announced?

Would imagine it will be the same as previous rounds. 3 from Old Bradwell, 1or2 from Kent Athletic and remainder from Hale Leys.

[Karen Browne]

No official squad released but the following is the squad listed in the programme.

 

Alec Bell (Hale Leys United), Aaron Bhasin (Old Bradwell United), Thomas Cooke (Old Bradwell United), Pat Daly (Kent Athletic), Shaun Ennis (Old Bradwell United), Aston Goss (Hale Leys United), Nathan Graham (Hale Leys United), Marcus Hussey (Hale Leys United), Unas Ilyas (Hale Leys United), Ashley Jenkins (Hale Leys United), Anthony Kew (Hale Leys United), Daniel Parsons (Hale Leys United), Mark Tattam (Hale Leys United), Niall Williams (Hale Leys United) and Christopher Wreh (Stony Stratford Town)

We still have a few injuries so a couple of ours miss out. Weird we only have 1 in the side

[Munchkin]

There's probably an argument for a few other clubs and players to be involved. Not that surprised bulk of the squad is that from previous rounds though, plus not sure the league could cope with more teams not playing.

 

Slightly surprised they haven't opted to take a reserve keeper, not a risk you should have in a semi final.

I am sure player for player you are right, but probably keeping such a rep side based from 1 side with a select few top draw additions will generate the strongest side. Playing together all the time etc etc. A number of top nations (spain and Italy to name a couple) have tended to follow such logic.

Agree and it's certainly better than completely one side, as it was when 61FC were solely doing it.

[Catdog Rovers]

Could be a decent crowd. What with another weekend of decimated league fixtures likely.
