FA Trophy Second Round

The Ryman League wishes Whitstable Town the best of luck on Saturday in their bid to reach the last 16 of the FA Trophy with a win over Conference South Ebbsfleet.

On behalf of the Ryman League’s 72 clubs and their fans, players and officials, Chairman Alan Turvey, his Directors and Officers, congratulate the Ryman South’s Oystermen, manager Nicky Southall and his squad for reaching the second round of Non-League’s top cup competition as one of the lowest ranked sides and hope they can celebrate another giant-killing at The Belmont Ground.

The Oystermen have already earned nearly £18,000 in prize money with their run from the Preliminary Round and hope to bank another £6,000 with a famous win over the competition's winners in 2008. On the way, the club has dispatched Ryman South rivals Sittingbourne, Potters Bar, Hythe Town and Hendon in the First Round.

Stay in touch with the Oystermen's bid and the rest of the action from all three divisions of the Ryman League on Saturday using the Ryman's live scores service.
