🏆 FA CUP TICKET UPDATE | BURTON ALBION AWAY Following last night's FA Cup replays, we are incredibly proud to be the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition! We are also one of just two clubs left who began their journey in the Extra Preliminary Round at the start of August, alongside fellow Step 4 side Stafford Rangers. 📺 TV COVERAGE – AWAITING CONFIRMATION We are currently waiting to find out whether our tie against Burton Albion has been selected for television coverage. We expect to receive confirmation either way on Thursday afternoon or Friday. If selected, this could affect both the date and kick-off time of the match, which is why we have been unable to confirm the details so far. 🎟️ TICKETING ARRANGEMENTS Once the date and kick-off time are confirmed, we will liaise with Burton Albion regarding ticketing arrangements and communicate the details to supporters through our usual channels as quickly as possible.

88’ Substitution Maltby-Smith comes in for Daldy @themikesfc 1 - 1 @AFCRD

54’ The penalty is put away into the bottom corner @themikesfc 1 - 1 @AFCRD

53’ Penalty to Boldmere @themikesfc 0 - 1 @AFCRD

47’ Really should be 0-2 now as Diamonds steal the ball and Nketia is in but his finish is poor and it’s straight at the keeper! @themikesfc 0 - 1 @AFCRD

46’ Second half gets underway! @themikesfc 0 - 1 @AFCRD

HALF TIME Diamonds took the lead on the 17th minute as O’Brien added another to his tally. He should have probably had 2 as Diamonds had more chances, but couldn’t extend their advantage!
