East Copa del Rey 2018-19


Recommended Posts

Remarkable season for Crossgates qualifying to the new Premier Division and now reaching a cup semi-final. 

When did they last reach a cup final or indeed semi-final?

 

Underdog, but hot form.

 

 

Last final was a 94-95 Kingdom cup loss to Newburgh. Last semis were Fife Cup in 01-02 (made semis the season before also) & Cowdenbeath Cup in the same season.

Might stick them on half time. Allows a later kick off if desired.

There’s also the matter of a wee London derby on the tele that night. As for me I’ll be behind the goals.

Definitely isn't prizemoney in this cup.

Previously there was prizemoney for top 4 in the league... with the conference setup apparently only the 3 conference winners get something, as paying the top 4 in each conference would mean trifling amounts.

Most money goes on paying for club insurance and balls, subsidising defibrillators, funding ground grants, first aid/coaching courses etc.
