Welsh derby in second round.
Amazing how much apathy there is to this competition these days. I always look forward to the third round draw but as we always field a reserve team these days it's getting hard to raise the excitement level.
Good luck to the Welsh sides in their round 2 encounter.
Remember when we played Wrexham on Match of the Day years ago? They equalised 2-2 right at the end (big bearded centre forward) and then we scored (Buchanan?) in injury time to win 3-2. Everybody who had been so down seconds before left the ground very happy!Quote:

Dramatic game tonight saw non league side Hampton & Richmond concede twice late on to lose to Oldham 2-1. Seems to be be much more exciting football in the early stages where winning means something.
To be fair Oldham battered them and although they left it late the victory was well deservedQuote:

That Baxter looks a good player for Oldham, shame about his injury.
