David vs Goliath, round one

The FA Cup first round bounced back this weekend with the usual amount of drama, passion, and spirit.

These games might not have received the mass media attention of a latter round, but let that take nothing away from the matches that did take place.

The main giant killing headlines were handed to unknown side, Curzon Ashton, who managed to knock out Kidderminster Town.

Histon Town also moved through to the second round with their 1-0 against League One outfit, Swindon Town, whilst Blyth Spartans saw off League Two opponents Shrewsbury.

The second round has since been drawn and the next ties will be played on the 29th and 30th of November, with higher level League One clubs being thrown into the mix.

As for who I’m supporting, Sutton United were the last Surrey team outside of the Football League to be eliminated from the FA Cup this year.

All that leaves is my side, Crystal Palace, who enter in round three!
