Bridon Ropes vs Canterbury City – FA Cup
Meridian Sports & Social Club, Charlton Park Lane, Charlton SE7 8QS
Everyone likes a good cup tie and I’m sure this will be no exception as City travel up the M2 to face Southern Counties East Division One side Bridon Ropes. This is Bridon’s first FA Cup tie so it goes without saying that this will be a tough test for City.
Most clubs have expressed disappointment that the season opens with an FA Cup Tie, but once the whistle blows this will all be forgotten.
