It's FA Cup Replay time

It's FA Cup replay night, and we have nine teams in action- although six of them are playing each other! The big news for tonight is that Jersey Bulls v Sutton Common Rovers will not be in the Channel Islands, and instead will be played in Sutton, at Gander Green Lane, home of Sutton United.

Bulls, who seem a lovely bunch, by the way- perhaps we might get to see them in the Pitching In Isthmian League soon- have explained the situation on their website.

'Jersey Bulls FC are set to lose home advantage in this week’s FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round Replay.

Whilst we had pre-arranged for Sutton Common Rovers to come to Springfield Stadium if a replay was required it became apparent that it was logistically difficult for Sutton Common Rovers to travel to the Island. FA rules state that if an offshore Island club is drawn away on the mainland then any midweek replay must also be played on the mainland again (unless both clubs agree to play offshore in Jersey).

Sadly despite looking at various midweek options, we have had to agree to play Sutton Common Rovers back at Gander Green Lane on Tuesday 21st September with a 7.30pm kick off.'

If you can't get to the match, it is available as a live stream, with prices starting at £5.50. Head here to find out more. Good luck to Rovers, who we hope will go on to reach the Third Qualifying Round and entertain Chertsey Town.

Elsewhere, Corinthian-Casuals will host Leatherhead after the goalless draw at the weekend, winners hosting Wingate and Finchley in the next round, whilst Enfield Town travel to Spartan South Midlands Hadley for the right to head to Chelmsford City.

Horsham or Kingstonian will battle to host Eastbourne Borough in the next round, whilst either Needham Market or East Thurrock United- hopefully our Essex Rocks- will be off to Boston United if they emerge victorious this evening.

Finally, Stowmarket Town or AFC Sudbury meet again, and the winners will welcome Cheshunt.
