FA Cup

Post by Westyeltz » 20 Feb 2022, 15:27

A few seasons back we had a visit from the FA Cup to the Grove and fans were allowed to have their photo taken with it for a donation to charity.
Does anyone remember why we had it there? Was it something to do with the best result in the previous round?

Also what year was it?

Memory fails me more and more but was it to do with Christie breaking a scoring record ?

I remembered that there was a picture, and a quick Google found it. On Old Git's Twitter.

Did it not also visit when someone (Matt Lewis???) scored several times, possibly against Telford?

Matt Lewis was voted Player of the Round (1st Qualifying) for scoring 4 against Telford on 16th September 20xx. 2006? The Cup was also taken to Newfield Park School
