A thoughtless FA Cup draw? Who’d have thought

Bishop's Cleeve to Hertfordshire on a Tuesday night?

On Monday, Tom Canning, Rob Davies and Severn Sport’s Ryan Butler sat down for the latest episode of #EastMeetsWest – the show all about Uhlsport Hellenic League Football.

The inductions into the 2019/20 season continued with Tuffley Rovers Macaulay Herbert and Windsor’s Luke Appleton taking in the centre back spots and things move on to who will seal the left and right-wing slots. You can cast your votes below.

As well as looking back at the weekend’s action, the FA Cup draw is up for discussion – particularly the idea of clubs traversing the south of England on a Tuesday night with Binfield at Westbury near Bath, Bishop’s Cleeve headed to Herfordshire and Longlevens headed to Risborough in Buckinghamshire.
