We return to the FA Cup trail on Saturday afternoon when we entertain in-form Kingstonian at Vale Farm. Since picking up their first win against us a month ago, the Ks have gone on an unbeaten run, dropping just 2 points in the league. Most recently they beat Horsham 2-1 on Monday evening, Simon Huckle and Karl Beckford finding the back of the net. The same two players, as well as Bobby Traynor, scored against us in August when they won 3-0 in the league.

In the previous round of the FA Cup, they progressed 4-1 against Bognor Regis Town thanks a hat-trick from Bobby Traynor and a goal from Dean Lodge.

As far as we are aware, this is the first time the two clubs have met in the FA Cup, although of course older supporters from both clubs will remember the FA Amateur Cup Final in 1960, which the Greens won 2-1, thanks to goals from Laurie Topp and Terry Howard.

The game on Saturday will kick off at the usual time of 3.00pm, and normal admission prices of £8 for adults and £2 for concessions will apply.

Should a replay be required, this will take place on Monday evening at Kingsmeadow with a 7.45pm kick off. Kingstonian's normal admission prices of £9 for adults, £6 for senior citizens and £3 for under 16s will apply.
