Neither of the other 1/4 finals have been played yet. So it's Kempston or Woodford or Whitworths or Cogenhoe, I think :?

Great result, although, it was a tough game, and the pitch wasn't the best, you could have planted a few rows of spuds in it.
By the end our lads were still running, and the RC players were out of their feet.
I'm sure that there will be a few sore bodies tomorrow as RC were very Physical, to say the least 8-)

Good turn out must have been the biggest crowd at that ground for years. :(
Im guessing no away support can be counted for? but as a estimate.. how many Diamonds fans there?

Just sooo proud of the lads tonight, they dealt with a team with less
Interest in playing football, we let the football do the talking, kept going and Louis smith leaping like a salmon for the winner made it all worthwhile.

Ash made some very important saves none moreso than the one right at the end.

Thought the back 3 were awesome too.

Ben Roche was my man of the match, but there was a fag-paper between him and Ashley Foulger who made 3 tremendous stops, the one from the deflected shot was an amazing stop, I thought it was in. He was definately the busier of the two keepers. Ben was solid all night and I hope he's not too badly hurt? That tackle on him was criminal !!
