E W Foster Cup Round 1 - Tie of the Round?

AC Wigston v MDH Knights
AFC Hurricanes v Reem Team
DME Conservatories v TrinderBox
FC Hoskins reserves v Superfly
Fleckney Athletic, Sunday v Epworth Forest OB
Fosse City v Huncote, Sunday
KS Leicester Polska v Saffron Lounge Bar, Sunday
Leicester Bharat Talbot v FC Tumar
Leicester Foxes OB v Wigston United
Niffy Rangers Reserves v Magna Town
North Kilworth, Sunday v Phoenix United
NRI v AFC Bees Knees
NRI Reserves v Guthlaxton OB
Oadby Owls Mens v Aylestone Lounge bar, Sunday
The Kaffir Inn v Desford United
Webbys Wanderers v Birstall Rangers

Which is the Tie of the Round?

Fosse v Huncote easily. a bit tasty that one

Fosse v Huncote or Polska v Saff Lounge are both potential giant killings

You will see above I have added the tie of;

NRI Reserves v Guthlaxton OB

The reason for the omision is that NRI (first & REserves) asked for a free date on Sunday 27th November (the date of the first round) and so I've had to move the games.

The NRI game has been brought forward to this Sunday but this was not possible for NRI Reserves because Guthlaxton are playing a Billy Walton game this Sunday.

Hope this clears it up????

I'd say AFC Hurricanes v Reem Team, DME Conservatories v TrinderBox and Oadby Owls Mens v Aylestone Lounge bar, Sunday have potential for upsets too

although they are a division lower, I wouldn't consider Saff Lounge as a traditional 'giant killing' in that sense. i think they are a good side and are of div 2 standard. granted, results haven't gone for them each week this season, but I don't think they would struggle in div 2. then again, you could say the same of Magna, NRI, Huncote and Reem Team

Funnily enough when I originally typed that post out I did put giant killings in inverted commas for that very reason

well, technically it still would be a giant killing.
i just don't think we're giants

Savo is a beanpole

ha ha wins more headers these days than he ever. don't think he ever won one before the age of 30. no stopping him now!

I think our ressies have a cracking chance against Gutho....i know its a massive ask, but they will be up for it, and in Peachey they have a cracking captain that wont accept anything less than 100%...after that....there are 3 or 4 players that have the ability to put away the odd goal. The reserves are buoyant after last weeks win and i am tipping them for the biggest giant killing of the round.....sorry Scouse!!!

Team talk written for me there Widds

There’s no need to apologise to me Widds, if you didn’t have faith in your own lads, can’t expect them to can you...

I’m sure the same as what we’re looking forward to playing Glenfield on Sunday, you have to believe you can win, and approach it like you have nothing to lose

I just hope we give it our best shot on the day in both games and see what happens

i think you have a very realistic chance of upsetting glenfield. it'll be a close one no doubt but one u can definately win all the best

Haha our reserve manager will kill me lol

Nah, you boys are obviously class, looked at the table when i saw the draw, i think you average 3 goals a game and only concede 1 a game....going to be very tough....our ressies have been up and down in form, but hoping their last result gives them belief.

Hope its a good game gents

I'm sure it will be a good game played the right way.

I can you assure you we will not be underestimiting them and will approach the game properly, we have unfinished business in this cup after finishing runners up last season!!!!!!
