The only Step 3 side to be immortalised in a Prefab Sprout song.

Ha, took me a little while but got there.

They had a decent run last year iirc and made a nice wedge out of it. Let’s hope it’s our turn this year.

I thought we would have some ex-players returning, but I don’t recognise any of their line-up from Saturday.
So maybe just Richard Colwell sat alongside the ever-charming Ian Long.
They’ve lost all of their away matches so far this season and sit 16th, so a pretty good draw overall.

Home tie is all we could of asked for and a very winnable draw.
Every chance of more coppers in the bank and bigger ties ahead

I think now we've lost the "promotion above all" mentality, Paul will put strong sides out in Cup games now. Looking forward to it

Anyone know how the draw is split tomorrow? Is it just a North and South section?

And - ahem - does anyone have like a list of potential opponents, maybe?

Was expecting to see Nat Kelly yesterday.
Thought he went to 'Church??
