baldy Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Always thought last 16 was a national draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pethick Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Probably not the tie that was wanted ,but should be quite an atmosphere with the Bulls averaging over 600 attendances for their home matches. On a separate note, how long has the last 16 draw been split into north/south? Always thought it went national at the last 32 stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SON OF LINEKER Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Just watched the 2023 Muratti Vase highlights on Youtube(which is the annual game between Jersey & Guernsey). The majority of the Jersey representative team were Bulls players - three that caught my eye were Adam Trotter (AMC),Luke Campbell (CD) and Francis Lekimamati (RW/LW). Campbell is a free scoring defender who averages just under a goal every four games,Trotter is the playmaker and Lekimamati looks like Ollie Walker on steroids and loves taking on full-backs ! Nevertheless at this stage of the competition all the teams are capable of winning their respective games and as long as we play to our strengths who knows ? One things for sure the Jersey hotels and B&B's will be rubbing their hands with glee at the un-expected February windfall courtesy of the F-Troop !

Paul Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 A cracking away day for Falmouth fans. Thecupfootballblogger, Town Fan and mattelot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Henry Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Of course any game at this stage of the competition is going to be tough but I see no reason why Falmouth can’t go there and win,Bridgwater went to the runaway leaders of their league Farnham who have won every game this season and won, the only possible reason to give them a slight advantage is that they play I believe on a 4g pitch and might be more used to it,but I still fancy both Falmouth and Bridgwater who have a home draw both getting into the Q/Fs which will be a great advert for our league,I’ll make my predictions now Falmouth to go though on penalties and Bridgwater to win 2-1 mattelot and Thecupfootballblogger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels reminiscent of Scotland fans making their way to Argentina for the World Cup in 1978. Legend has it that a few never made their way home ... If you're an F-Troop member, whether it's by air or sea, surely you have to make the journey. Win, lose or draw, a definite "I was there" story for future years. mattelot, Tommy Matthews, Dave Deacon and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
