Double Cup - FA Cup - Welsh Cup

It is a cup double again today with both FA Cup and Welsh Cup played earlier so how did my teams do could there be a separation of the ways for us.

In the FA Cup Spennymoor Town hit the road to Milton Keynes to face the most hated football team by all fans MK Dons. Yes, the splitters who broke one team into two forcing a group of fans to start their own team AFC Wimbledon who climbed from non-league to league football.

To the game I had my fingers tightly crossed hoping for an upset but it was not to be and I was gutted for Spennymoor not because of the MK Dons thing but I love to see the underdog win except when they play my team Cardiff City. Spennymoor were 3-0 down in the first 15 minutes and some kind of massacre was on the cards but the tide stopped minutes after MK Dons had scored the third, Spennymoor scored.

It was not until six minutes from full time at there was another goal and it was from the non-leaguers giving some spice to the final minutes of the game could Spennymoor win a replay. At the final whistle, it was 3-2 and now I was in the hat with MK Dons.

In the Welsh Cup, Llantwit Major had my support who faced a home game against Llandrindod Wells. There was a big bonus for the winners today in the third round the big boys of Welsh football enter the pitch. The likes of Airbus UK Broughton and New Saints and there will be a Capital City team in the hat, Welsh Premier League team Cardiff Met after all other Cardiff based teams have been beaten in earlier rounds.

It will be Llantwit Major’s name in the hat for the Third Round draw. They beat Mid Wales Llandrindod Wells 1-0.
