Premier clubs hit FA Cup trail

By Andrew Simpson

THIS Saturday sees the Premier Division clubs join the 22 surviving First Division clubs on the FA Cup trail.

There are three all-Premier Division ties with a tasty looking derby at Leek Town, when the visitors will be last season's Division One champions Buxton, while Witton Albion host Prescot Cables and Kendal Town make the long haul to Worksop Town.

Six ties see the top tier take on First Division sides with the most intriguing being at Fleetwood where FC United of Manchester will be the visitors.

Unlucky Town Reserves are defeated by FC United

Warrington Town Reserves 1 FC United Reserves 2.

TOWN Reserves were unlucky to lose to FC United's second string in the Cheshire Soccer League Second Division at Cantilever Park on Saturday.

FC United, who are a breakaway club formed by Manchester United fans unhappy with Malcolm Glazer's regime at Old Trafford, went ahead when Carl Carey raced clear to beat goalkeeper Karl Wills in the opening 30 seconds of the match.

But Martin Bell capitalised on a mix-up in the visitors' defence to equalise on the half hour and Dave Berry then hit the crossbar after half time.

Jamie Rother gave FC United a fortuitous lead when he scored with 10 minutes remaining before Richie Sinker's injury-time header struck the post to consign Town to defeat.

Town: Wills, Parr, Hall, Davies, Sinker, Brown, Pithers, Berry, Jones, Bell (Preston), Toone. Subs not used: Taylor, Brownbill, Atkinson, Sargeant.
