FA Cup Action - Extra Preliminary Round Arnold Town versus Holbeach United

Followers will know that I am a big football fan and as well as following my team Bolton Wanderers, I sometimes go and watch my local no league team......Arnold Town.

The FA Cup competition has already started. This is non league football at Eagle Valley, Arnold as Arnold Town (maroon jerseys) take on Holbeach United (yellow and black striped jerseys) in the 'Extra Preliminary Round'

Arnold Town lost 0-2 in front of 105 spectators.

This is Arnold Towns left back ....Rod Mapeso .....overlapping down the wing and attempting to get in an early cross.

Allegedly Rod was contracted to a Spanish second division team last year
