: It's not Mickey Mouse, it's a fantastic cup
: and it's great to be involved in the
: competition.
:
: Some of my best memories of football include
: playing in the finals and semi-finals at the
: Manor and Kassam, Banbury, Barton Rec and
: Osberton Radiators...I think?!?!.

: It's a chance for players to show the locals
: how good they are, especially when the
: finals used to get 500/600 watching. Whether
: it's still the same attendance now I don't
: know and it might not be as strong as the
: Berks and Bucks but it is still a highlight
: for any player to be involved in.
:
: I didn't see the game you're talking about
: but tough taggling from players from a lower
: league is always going to happen. It's the
: same when you have a first v reserve match
: on a training night. It's a chance for them
: to prove a point. Better quality players
: just have to have less touches and move the
: ball quicker so as to not give the opponents
: an opportunity of a 50/50 and then shake
: hands afterwards when their better quality
: has proved victorious. It's that simple.
:
: Good luck for the next round, go and win the
: cup, and enjoy the champagne afterwards...I
: always did!
