The BBC have begun showing Emirates FA Cup ties on the sport website from today. The first game to be shown was a 12.30pm kick off between Litherland Remyca and AFC Liverpool in the Extra Preliminary Round. There will be a live game from every Qualifying Round shown.
Former Albion keeper Dominic Garner was in great form for AFC Liverpool but couldn’t prevent them from going out of the competition 2-0. In fact, Garner kept his team in it especially in the first half.
Good keeper never let Us down ! when he played for us at Sandbach he was brilliant, one to keep an eye on. UTA
Former Witton striker Joel Brownhill, scored a hat trick as Ashton Athletic beat Squires Gate 4-0 in the Emirates FA Challenge Cup Extra Preliminary Round. Another former Witton player, Jamie Harrison scored the other goal.
I can imagine that Carl will keep a close eye on Garner if we ever needed a keeper in the future. Oh wait, did someone mention a keeper?! #uta
