Shortwood through to Round One!

1-0 down at half-time and came back to win 2-1 away at Aldershot.

Got to bloody love the FA Cup. I am well and truly chuffed.

At home to Port Vale. Are they one of the lowest ranked teams in the first round and maybe a TV contender?

Is this the first time 4 Glos teams have made it to Rd 1? Excluding the possibility of Bristol teams, of course.

Cheltenham, Gloucester, Shortwood - who is the fourth?

FGR bottled it against Bishop's Stortford

Sykes says the achievements of the part-time club will be dedicated to the volunteers who work behind the scenes.

"It's the same 15 or 20 people behind the scenes who put the time and effort in. This is for them," he added.

:lol: I forgot they were out already. In which case, I should ask, have FGR blown the chance of there being 4 Glos teams in Rd1 of the FA Cup for the first time?
