Just a
short post today. Yesterday I noted the preview below from the excellent FA Cup
Factfile twitter feed. Thanks guys.
Penrith (Northern League 1) v Sunderland RCA (Northern
League 1)
A meeting between 2 Step 5
teams this is their first meeting in the FA Cup. Penrith has been knocked out
in Extra Preliminary Round in both of the last two seasons, although have made
it to 2nd Round Proper in 1981/82 when they beat Third Division
Chester 1-0 before losing 3-0 to Doncaster Rovers. Sunderland RCA has failed to
go beyond Extra Preliminary Round 9 times in 12 campaigns, including the last
four seasons.
Hence it is fairly clear it
is going to be a significant achievement for whichever team emerges victorious
on the 6th August. I have started to count down the days until match
day. Penrith drew 1-1 last night at The Frenchfields with a strong Workington
Reds team so it would seem are in good form going in to the new season.
Also yesterday I checked
with Ben France Photography that it was ok to use the team photo of Penrith FC
shown in yesterday’s post. He was ok with this and suggested that I might
consider using the pic below taken by his Dad of Susan Pollock using her physio’s
skills to great effect !

| OUCH ! I now see what Susan means by a 'no nonsense' approach |
I did check with Susan
before publishing! More soon …..
