Cup boss making debut on Thursday's show

After masterminding his side's run to the FA Cup's First Round, East Thurrock United manager John Coventry is making his debut on Thursday night's Ryman Round-up Show.

Coventry, pictured, saw his side finally bow out of the cup last Saturday when they were beaten 2-0 at League Two Hartlepool United's Victoria Park.

As the Rocks boss turns his attention to the FA Trophy and a second round home tie against Arlesey Town this weekend, he is joined on the latest edition of the popular phone-in for fans, players and officials of the Ryman League by another man whose cup dream lives on, Maidstone United's co-owner Oliver Ash.

Ash's manager Jay Saunders and his Ryman Premier side host Stevenage Borough in a replay next Wednesday night (Nov 20) at the Gallagher Stadium for the right to travel to Conference Premier Wrexham in the next round after battling to a 0-0 draw against the League Two outfit in Hertfordshire last weekend.

Square, whose show returned last week after a two week break, also welcomes back a veteran guest of the phone-in with an on-going professional interest in the cup, Hampton & Richmond Borough's assistant manager and Sky Sports commentator and broadcaster Martin Tyler.

Launched at the start of last season by Harlow-based online community station Hawks Radio and hosted by Square, the Ryman Round-up Show broadcasts from 7pm to 9.30pm every Thursday night to debate the latest news and action from the Isthmian League's three divisions and 72 clubs.
