Lingfield 4-1 Fisher FC. FozFest weekend finished with a masterclass of finishing, Fozzy style. Fisher’s slick moves couldn’t get past the Lingfield machine.

A trip to a place that is remarkably free of drinking establishments doesn’t seem, on the face of it, an ideal day out for us at The Real FA Cup.
Neither did it for most of the rest of the human race.
It’s FA Cup Prelim weekend. We’re off to Corinth, a nod to Dulwich, a wave at the Charlton Brothers, lighting up the Dynamos, West Ham get a fright and the tale of one club becoming two and heading for a possible FA Cup match up.
Dulwich make heavy weather of pushing Sevenoaks aside to progress into the 1st Qualifying Round.
One of our readers went to Aylesbury to see them take on Tiptree in the FA Cup …
Hamlet miss several chances as Sevenoaks force a replay later in the week.
