My local team Sittingbourne are playing Jersey Bulls in the cup tomorrow, which was a game that interested me until I decided to get tickets for the Lyon game.

Of course, in the very early days, every club that entered took part in the first round, unless they happened to receive a bye. As the number of teams increased, qualifying rounds were introduced and therefore a 'first round proper' when the league clubs came in. And so on, but I don't know when it got so big that the top two divisions ended up exempt until round 3.

Sittingbourne FC drew at home to Jersey Bulls Saturday and have a rare occurance tonight, as the replay is also in Sittingbourne. I believe Jersey had to agree to this among other things if they were allowed to play in a league or cup competition on the mainland Edited by monkey (08 Aug 2023 7.15pm)

As a regular watcher of Welling United back in the day (and still from a distance) I was intrigued to see that a team called Welling Town was playing in the qualifying round at the weekend. I looked them up and discovered that although they were formed in Welling, they play at Chatham! Anyway, they were hammered by Cobham. Meanwhile another former local team of mine, Erith and Belvedere, who play at Welling United (!) had a fine 6-0 away win.

I went to a lot of Welling United games back in the 80’s and 90’s when I lived in Bromley and Sidcup. I remember they had a striker called Gary Abbott, he was a beast of a non-league striker, powerful and knew where the goal was
