Our Under 18 team have made club history by reaching the First-Round Proper of the FA Youth Cup, winning 4 matches in that process. They did us proud last night but unfortunately lost 4 - 0 to a very good PSA Tring team on a slippery pitch and we wish them luck to them in the next round away to Leyton Orient. We now focus our attention on the League!

We did think it was a bit strange didn't we that the mouth watering Second Round tie between Leyton Orient and Tring Athletic had been scheduled for Saturday 25 November, it's actually taking place on Tuesday 28 November, kick off 7.00pm:

Disappointment then for Tring Athletic's youngsters last night however what an exciting run it was to the FA Youth Cup Second Round:
