A strong all-round team performance saw Basingstoke go initially behind, before an own-goal pulled us even as we went into the break level. Second-half goals by Jake Impiazzi, Aleks Kokoska and then Charlie Barlow secure a strong 4-1 performance. Credit goes to all the academy players who stepped up and did not look out of place against an Alresford Town looking for revenge from the Hampshire Snr Cup loss. Only one team in it second-half and we were worthy winners on the night.
Must admit I didn't know what to expect when I saw the line up, especially given how difficult our recent meetings with Alresford had been, but some very impressive performances from our academy players and in the end a very well deserved win, special mention as well to Joel Halliday who made a fantastic save at 1-1 when they looked certain to score.

Excellent result, full credit to the young lads.
What are the rules for this cup? Had wrongly assumed it was step four and below only and thought this was why we have only just started playing in it. Thought Hartley would be in this time but seems not.
Anyway I'm pleased we are in it as the chance of a trophy is not to be sniffed at!

I believe teams who qualify (geographically) for the cup are invited into the tournament. A few years back we declined the option, but now we participate each year.

Thanks, got you. So guess Farnborough/Aldershot may be invited too but decline.
