Looking forward to this one. Littlehampton have bluffed their way to this stage of the Trophy for the first time in their history via two penalty shootout wins and an admittedly great win against Sporting Bengal. They've flattered to deceive this season, despite making some promising signings (although one has already departed in the shape of Alex Laing) and I've no idea how strong of a line up they will be able to field. Entirely of their own making; Littlehampton's 'robust' style of play led to them having two men (correctly) sent off in the last round so, presumably, suspensions will be a factor.

Some photos from Littlehampton's 0-1 home defeat to Barton Rovers in the FA Trophy 3rd qualifying round.
An entertaining enough game but somewhat lacking in quality.

Ground number 48 was the Colwell Ground, home of St Francis Rangers for their SCFL Division 2 clash with Ferring
Funny little place this with the former mental health hospital looming large over it. For this league it's not bad but needs some TLC, but I imagine days like today where the crowd was a mere 15 paying £3 a pop don't really boost the coffers
Facilities wise it's not actually bad for the league. There's a fairly big seated stand and a covered standing area on one side with cracking views of the large Victorian behemoth opposite
Clubhouse is very small and is just a tea room really. No Bovril on offer but a tea was £1.
Special shout out to the one bloke who seemed to be running the whole ground himself as he was manning the gate and serving the teas. Very friendly as well
The game was quite poor quality really but completely changed just before half time when the home sides number 9 decided it was an opportune moment to practice some MMA moves. Could have been very very nasty had his team mates not intervened as he had an opponent on the floor and was just about to seriously punch him before he was stopped. After getting sent off he had a proper tantrum and was kicking stuff all over the place. Apparently he'd been bitten by his opponent but no one saw this
Despite being down to 10 men the home side actually took the lead early in the second half and to be honest were probably the better side.
Ferring did manage to equalise and thought they'd won it when they capitalized on a defensive mix up to go 2-1 up.
However with about 5 minutes to go their very moody and lazy striker got himself sin binned for dissent and as if by magic the home side equalized in the last minute of the game. What a prat, but to be honest Rangers deserved at least a point especially their absolutely superb number 6.
Anyway, quite a crap ground, crap game and crap crowd, onto the next one, got 9 left starting with Saltdean next week
