Far east trip ends in defeat for FC

July 23, 2009

FC UNITED'S first ever trip to the far east ended in disappointment on Saturday as they lost 3-0 to fellow fans-owned club Bucheon FC 1995 in South Korea.

Despite the scoreline, FC, who leaked two late goals, put in a decent performance against an experienced side.

They were playing another pre-season friendly at Irlam FC as the Advertiser went to press last night, Wednesday, July 22.

This coming week’s games see FC travel to AFC Wimbledon for a Co-operative SD Cup clash on Saturday, July 25, kick-off 3pm, before playing Newsquest Cup matches at Radcliffe Borough on Monday, July 27, kick-off 7.45pm, and against Bury at Gigg Lane on Wednesday, July 29, kick-off 7.45pm.

Meanwhile, FC have been drawn at Sheffield, Flixton or Winsford in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup on Saturday, September 12.

They will visit Ashton United in the first qualifying round of the FA Trophy on Saturday, October 17, and their Northern Premier League Premier Division campaign will start at home to Boston United on Saturday, August 15, and end at home to Hucknall Town on Saturday, April 14, 2010.
