I am getting forgetful in my old age I missed an article I was supposed to post over the weekend with both the FA Cup and the Welsh Cup in play. Has you must know by now in the opening round I pick a team which leads me to the final by following the winner. Yes, I am that nerdy.
In the Extra Preliminary Round of the FA Cup, I picked Little Common because it was their first appearance in the competition but they lost 3-1 to Eastbourne United. That meant a change of team with Eastbourne hopefully carry me beyond the Preliminary Round. However, it was not to be they crashed out 3-2 away at Littlehampton.

It was also the opening round of the Welsh Cup and like with the FA Cup I picked a team I believed never played before in the Welsh Cup. I have explained before I always pick a team playing home and Cardiff based and this time it was Grange Allstars.
The game was provisionally to play at the home of the Allstars but they had to forfeit that advantage due to a lack of a suitable pitch.
I knew little about the team but found them on Facebook and Twitter, which was helpful. The (Allstars) were beaten 1-0 by Llantwit Fardre who now have an away trip to Pencoed Athletic in the next round of the competition.
Has a little side project and as a Cardiff boy I like to keep an eye on the Cardiff based teams in the Welsh Cup and in the opening round there were eleven teams of which including Grange Allstars five of whom took an early bath. In the next round, STM Sports will join the fray and play another Cardiff team, Butetown.
