The BFA has just put out the FA Cup quarter-final draw. PHC got Key West Rangers, Lobster Pot got Dandy Town, Rangers or Wolves will play Colts and Social Club face Boulevard or St George's.
Nothing that really catches the eye there but it would be nice to see one of the non-Premier Division clubs make it through.It's always more exciting when a team like Hamilton Parish or even Colts last year make the final.
The games are on March 9.
let's be honest with ourselves, looking at the draw and the form that PHC are in, I don't see anyone else winning the FA but Zebras. They have already knocked out village and there are only two other premier teams left that are not in the best of form!Having said that, Cup games are not about form but who is better on the day. But I Think most people will look at this draw and say to themselves "PHC got this"

So, PHC for the triple crown then?
Fair play to Kyle Lightbourne. We might not agree with his stance on the national team, but he seems to have turned things around with his club.

I agree ... Non-Premier Clubs would make the FA cup more exciting ... especially for the particular communities they represent. There's no doubt The Colts are this year's dark horse! Kuma Smith, Troy Hall & Philip Anderson are only a few of the players that make this squad very formidable. No one wants a piece of this team! However, the Hamilton Parish squad might have a tough time competing in the women's division. Does the name Lyndon Butterfield strike fear in your proverbial heart? I think not. Go Colts!

Redbalz, what are you talking about? Parish is on top of a very good First Division. Just because someone isn't a household name, doesn't mean they aren't good.
St. George's? they couldn't even get pass pathetic Paget.

I mean no dis-respect Pepper4ever, but I think you've been drinking ... or possibly hit the chronic again! A poor game vs. Paget was exactly what the squad needed! It was a wake-up call! Bottom line: When it counts the Colts will be ready to play. You can take that to the bank my dis-illusioned friend.

RedBalz, that crashing sound you heard on Sunday was St. George's title and promotion hopes. We didn't do as well as we could, but we have two easy games left to wrap up six points and take it all.
