@ScottSimpkin: Aldershot v Portsmouth. Home of the British Army v Home of the British Navy on remembrance weekend 100 years after the start of WWI. Big tie

LOL, it's the "worst team in Hampshire" contest.

 

[PompeyLapras]

No contest, Aldershit have that in the bag. There's only one team in Rushmoor

Is Aldershot still a barracks town? I thought that had all gone.

Still plenty of Military involvement in the area. A lot has gone, but a lot of money has been spent there for the troops that came back from Germany.

The 1st round starts tonight and there's a potential cupset alert with Warrington Town v Exeter City. Live on BBC 2 with a 7.55 kick off.

CUPSET ALERT!

Warrington Town 1-0 Exeter.

Matty Oakley playing for Exeter. I remember him scoring in this competition at The New Den on a freezing cold night in Jan 2003.

[ChilcoSaint]

Into added time now, unbelievable pressure...

 

[Ana]

Woohoo!

 

[tomw24]

Pitch invasion!

FULL-TIME: Warrington Town 1-0 Exeter City

Fantastic stuff. 100 league places below the side they have just dumped out of the FA Cup, what a fairy tale.

 

[Beef]

Well done Warington.

 

[fatletiss]

Love it. Brings back memories of when I played and knocked out Exeter in the first round of the Fa Cup at Bognor Regis. One of my favourite days in the footballing calender.

Real shame it was a Southern team that had to be beaten. Why couldn't it have been Bradford or Accrington Stanley..?

I take little pleasure from that giant killing. Well played Warrington, but I'm a bit too area partisan to take actual pleasure from it.
