With the countdown to next Sunday's F A Cup clash with Northampton Town underway, let's re-live some recent F A Cup memories!

Last season at the 2nd Round Proper stage the Glassboys paid the price for not taking first-half opportunities as we lost 2 - 0 at home to Eastleigh of the National League.

Incidentally, our opponents next Sunday, Northampton Town, were pushed all the way last season by another Evo-stik NPL side. Northwich Victoria, then of the First Division North, in the 2nd Round Proper. The Cheshire side suffered late heart-break as they went down to a narrow 3 - 2 defeat at Sixfields.

One of our finest nights in the F A Cup came in November 2011 when we claimed the scalp of Plymouth Argyle in a First Round Replay before bowing out to Stevenage in the next round. No Stour fan gets tired of watching this!!

Mind you, the 3- 3 draw in the first game down in Devon wasn't bad either! Plenty of incidents - and a peach of a goal from Ryan Rowe!

Two years later and a stunning 4 - 1 victory over Biggleswade Town here at Amblecote set us up for a 're-match' with Stevenage - only this time in Hertfordshire! Luke Benbow was 'on fire' in this one too!
