Final at Blackburn Rovers

Oyster Martyrs v Humbledon Plains Farm to be played at Ewood Park on 27th April - 2.00pm kick off.

Sunday 16th March

Semi-final results:

Humbledon Plains Farm 4 Hundred Acre 2 AET

Oyster Martyrs 3 Plough FC Wellington 2 AET

I was up at Hartlepool for the Humbledon Plains and Hundred Acre game. Humbledon were in control at 2-0 up with ten minutes to go, when two goals in three minutes (the second an astonishing effort from the half way line!) sent the tie in to extra time. A goal in each half of extra time sent Humbledon in to their third final, where they will face Oyster Martyrs, who also needed extra time in their game to secure their fourth final appearance in six years.

Sunday 23rd Feb

At the sixth time of asking, AYFCS and Plough Wellington have finally managed to play their outstanding 4th round game. Plough Wellington winning 4-2 after extra time.

Plough will now travel to Wimborne Town next Sunday where they will play Branksome Railway for a place in the semi final.

The winners of that game will travel North to play Oyster Martyrs, who beat Allerton 2-1 in their quarter final game today.

Semi Final draw

Games to be played on 16th March - 2.00pm kick off:

Humbledon Plains Farm v Hundred Acre

Allerton or Oyster Martyrs v AYFCS/Plough Wellington or Branksome Railway

Venues to be announced later. As the FA like to play Sunday Cup semi finals at Marine, I think its a safe bet that is where the Allerton/Oyster v whoever will be played.

I'm not sure which ground the FA will choose for the other semi final. The last one played up there was two years ago, when Hetton Lyons beat Oyster at Billingham Synthonia. Prior to that, Durham City and Hartlepool United have been used.

This is the third semi final for Humbledon Plains Farm. They played their first at Spennymoor in 1988, when they beat Avenue from Birkenhead. Three finals were played at Spennymoor in the 1970s, so the ground has a special relationship with the Sunday cup, so it could be played there.

Sunday 16th Feb

4th Round
Allerton 5 Whitwick Compass 1
AYFCS v Plough Wellington - Postponed

5th Round
Chapeltown Fforde Grene 3 Humbledon Plains Farm 6 AET (2-2 after 90 mins)
Upshire 3 Hundred Acre 3 - Hundred Acre won 3-1 on penalties

Sunday 9th Feb

Once again, the appalling weather we are currently experiencing has put pay to the two outstanding 4th round ties, so the teams involved will try again (for the fifth consecutive week) next Sunday, to see who will progress to the quarter final.

After two failed attempts at home and two away, the games will revert to the two sides (AYFCS and Allerton) who were drawn at home.

AYFCS will be hoping to play their game at Aylesbury FC. Although as you can see below, that game is in doubt already!

Sunday 2nd February results

Upshire 5 Lebeqs Tavern Courage 2
Oyster Martyrs 4 Witton Park Rose & Crown 0

As confirmed yesterday, AYFCS v Plough FC Wellington and Witton Park Rose & Crown v Oyster Martyrs were both postponed.

Sunday 2nd Feb

Given the awful weather we are currently experiencing, it is unsurprising to learn that some of the outstanding fourth round ties have already fallen foul of the weather.

Both Plough Wellington v AYFCS and Whitwick Compass v Allerton will not be played tomorrow.

Upshire v Lebeqs Tavern Courage are hopeful of playing at Cheshunt. No word as yet on the Oyster Martyrs v Witton Park Rose & Crown game.
