Darts v Oxford City (Tuesday 13th Nov 7.45pm)

[Charlieboy]

There are more games tomorrow and Hampton & Richmond are playing Oldham Monday night. I think any replays are the week after next.

[Gary C]

Believe all FA Cup replays in the competition proper take place 10 days from the original tie, so it'll be Tuesday week. Our game should be fine.

FA Site confirms the Oxford City v Tranmere Rovers replay will be on Tuesday 20th November.

However, as Woking progressed to round two by defeating Torquay United yesterday, our scheduled fixture at Woking on 1st December will be postponed as this is the date for the FA Cup second round.

Saved!! Oxford City got a real result yesterday, must have been a very good performance from them. Obviously we will be up against it on Tuesday. Actually, I have been retired just over a year and haven't enjoyed life so much, didn't know I could be so busy. Oxford City will be the Cherry on the cake after a sombre birthday today. Cheered by the wife getting a bottle of my favourite tipple and a pair of binoculars and this very week celebrating 50 years of supporting the Dart's a may just watch the game from where I park the car.
Up the Dart's!! See you Tuesday.
Keep supping Arty.

Arthur here,
Dear Ozy. May I call you that dear boy.
I recommend a bottle of juicy red Wakefields cabernet Sauvignon. Deliciously refreshing. I enjoy it best on my cornflakes. But delighted you mention you have cheered up a bit my friend. I believe it could well be possible if we win on Tuesday to hop up many positions possibly into a play off berth. So every bit of vocal encouragement would help.i would like to issue a rallying call to all DFC fans especially on this sombre day. To remember who we are and where we are in football terms. We are a most wonderful club, great lads at the helm and fans second to none. Now im off to blast Jerusalem out on my record player and get into the spirit for Tuesday evening.
Many happy returns Ozy and COYD
Over and out
Arthur E. Horsfield

Having watched the Tranmere v Oxford City game yesterday, I can report that City were very unlucky not to be in the hat for the draw tomorrow as winners. For the first 15 minutes, Tranmere were on top and squandered a couple of scoring opportunities and City were not really at the races. Thereafter however, they began settling down and improving thereafter.
Even though they went 1-0 down, their heads never dropped and deservedly equalised five minutes later. Tranmere have been on a very good run since promotion back into the Football League EFL with some high scoring games. But yesterday, they were way off those levels as they were perhaps too complacent, misplaced passes, sloppy defending, 2nd to the ball. Very poor, just like a couple of seasons ago. Even when TR went 2-1 up, City deservedly responded and the took the lead at 2-3. It was only an equaliser in the last minute of ordinary time by TR stopping City making progress at the first attempt. The City no 7 on the left wing was involved in a lot of their good moves and it was no surprise when City took the lead. A very busy side whose confidence improved throughout the game and an excellent performance from their no 5 at the back, but the whole team were up for the game. I can now see how they walloped the Darts in the 3rd qualifying game! They now have the FA Cup draw to look forward to and the replay the following week.
Quite a few of their players were suffering from cramp as the game went on.
The Darts can certainly expect a tough game on Tuesday, judgi g by Saturday's slick performance. We will have to be at our best. City just never gave up.
