Road To Wembley Begins In NCEL
13th August, 2010
It is FA Cup weekend and the Road to Wembley is truly beginning in the NCEL with TV coverage of a clash involving two of our sides.
Every year, ITV plot a path to the Final by beginning at a match in the Extra-Preliminary Round and then following the winners of that game into the next stage and so on until they get to Wembley.
This season, they are starting at Beechnut Lane on Saturday where Pontefract Collieries take on league rivals Selby Town.
According to sources at Ponte, there will be a preview on tonight's Calendar, the local ITV news programme for the Yorkshire region, and then a feature and highlights on Monday's programme.
The Colls are hoping for a bumper crowd for what should be an intriguing Cup tie.
Good luck to both Ponte and Selby - may the best team win - and also good luck to all our sides involved in FA Cup action this weekend.
