FA Trophy 1st Round Proper

At times Caskey was a real joy to watch. I wonder if he's owed a bob or two?

Definitely.

It is indeed Darren "the cat" Caskey!

Remember this well! Back when I was running the HalesowenTownFC Youtube channel, but I gladly handed it over to Matt and the other guys who are doing a far better job than I could

For anyone wanting to "spot the player" our line-up against Evesham was:
BUSSEY COWLEY CORNWALL KEMP BRISCOE BRYANT DENNY LEE ROWE** BRENNAN DANKS subs: ABBEY PALMER* MELITAS SMITH CASKEY

I see Gateshead cruised through to the FA Cup 3rd Round against Warrington yesterday (Sunday). So they have a lot of important matches coming up over the next month or so........

For those unaware their chairman is desperate to get them in the Football League, they play at home on Wednesday night in the league, and hopefully they'll draw someone huge at home in the 3rd Round of the Cup. Not that it'll make much difference of course, but I wonder if they'll use their squad against us.......?

Watching the highlights of their match yesterday, I did notice that the ground looks like Grantham's, only with 5,000 more seats and all red! It also seemed exceptionally windy............here's hoping we can go and just give it a go. We really have nothing to lose! Let's hope the weather and pitch holds out with them playing at home on Wednesday, it's an even longer journey on a Tuesday night........(metaphorically speaking)

First time they have reached that round too I believe.

They've got the baggies away in the third round! Not sure if Gateshead will rest any players against us since the fa cup tie at the Hawthorns is three weeks away though

Hope we bore the pants off them and bring them back to our Muck heap,I'm sure they will
really fancy a trip down the M1 on a Tuesday in December.

Good news for us is that a few more Gateshead fans might go to our game now as they're be giving out vouchers tonight and Saturday for their game at Smethwick.

Knowing how badly supported they are at home they probably won't sell their allocation at Smethwick, and
if they face a replay out Hasbury direction they will fit their supporters on a unicycle!

Is it Caskey? Think he moved there from Ilkeston.

Only a matter of time before they give Caskey a star on the Broad St. Walk of Fame, perhaps we should
dedicate Saturday's Trophy match to him,true Yeltz legend on a par with Geoff Moss,the Joinsons and Ray
Anslow( well maybe not the latter!)
