Bath City have drawn Forest Green Rovers for a home match next week in the Second Round of the FA
Cup. The selection was actually almost two weeks ago, but because Forest Green and Mansfield Town
failed to produce a result in their Frist Round match, City could not be sure who their opponents
would be until the replay two days ago.

Bath City drew 1-1 with Staines Town Tuesday night. Pretty much everyone says it was a forgettable
match. This is hardly surprising given that both clubs had just defeated League 2 opposition three
days previously in hard-fought FA Cup matches. Staines had been victorious 1-0 over Shrewsbury
Town. Likewise, Bath City had come out on top 2-0 over Grimsby Town in THE GREATEST FOOTBALL GAME
EVER PLAYED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!

Saturday's FA Cup First Round Proper match against Grimsby Town was my first ever visit to

crazy.

Bath City beat Grimsby Town 2-0 yesterday. I still feel giddy typing that. Not a 1-0 victory thanks
to a fluke goal against the run of play. Oh no! Bath City defeated Grimsby Town with a decisive
goal in each half. It is one of those results you need to say out loud over and over again, just so
that you can reassure yourself that it really happened.

19:45 Barnsley v Sheffield Utd, Championship, Sky Sports 1/HD1
Start the week with a thundering Yorkshire derby if that's your pleasure. An Eee Ba Gum Classico if
you will. Both teams are two of six on 17 points making it tighter than a gnat's chuff in the
middle of the Championship.

We have a fairly idyllic life at the Nedved homestead, especially on Sundays. This past Sunday
morning was spent dossing around, eating breakfast in front of the telly, and revelling in the
extra hour of sleep from daylight savings' introduction. All the while, though, I was keeping one
eye on the clock.
