Chasetown FC Latest News

Good Afternoon to whoever isn't at the match!

Today is the first step of what will hopefully be another fabulous FA Cup run for Chasetown FC, starting with AFC Wulfrunians in the Preliminary Round Round. The Wulfs, who were only formed in 2005 beat Boldmere St Michaels from the Midlands Alliancee 2-0 in the previous round and currently lie 10th in the West Midlands Premier, with 6 points from 5 games.

Charlie will need to have the lads firing on all cylindars to bannish the memories of Tuesday night in Sheffield, and fingers crossed if we create plenty of chances we can put it in the back of the net. Hopefully we didn't use up all our goals and luck versus Quorn!

This won't be an easy tie in any case, there are no easy games in the FA Cup and for once we're the favourites - I'm not sure if that's a good thing

Thanks to info from AFC Wulfrunians the game is available to watch via Justin TV:

Come on you Scholars

Chasetown line-up for this afternoon's match

Price,
Holland,
Milligan,
Slater,
Thomas,
Teesdale,
Harris,
Greenway,
Birch,
Smith D,
Batchelor

Several changes from the side that lost to Sheffield in mid-week with Charlie obviously wanting to shuffle his squad.
John and Mark Branch, Ben Steane, and Craig Marshall making way for Craig Holland, Craig Milligan, Harry Harris and Gary Birch.

Chasetown quickly into their stride with a reasonable opening, the early pressure being exerted on their opponents.

Would an early goal be too much to ask for?

14 mins: GOAL Chasetown 1 - 0 AFC Wulfrunians

Perfect, just perfect. Fantastic start and exactly what the Scholars needed.

Gary Birch takes it brilliantly and that'll be a weight off his chest, well done Birchy.

17 mins: Chasetown rampant, and it's almost 2-0 as Danny Smith heads on to the bar.

...and almost pay for that miss a couple of minutes later as Price is caught out of his goal and a long range shot goes wide.

Rather big let off

22 mins: So much for 2-0, it's almost 1-1.

This time Price gets down to make a good save.

24 mins: Craig Millian puts in a great free-kick and Skipper Teesdale heads over.

Sounds like a cracking cup-tie

Curse of the commentator, the first quietish period of the game.

34 mins: Almost a second for Birchy, putting a free header a whisker wide.
