Dunston check out!!

Dunston's FA cup march came to an abrupt end on Saturday afternoon, as their tie with Spennymoor Town proved to be a game too far.  The Moors ran out comfortable 4-1 winners as unfortunately for the Fed Scott Fenwick struggled to find his shooting boots and all they had to take from this game was an Andrew Bulford consolation goal.

Moors were the dominant side throughout the game and so it was probably no surprise that they lead at half time 2-0 through goals from Anthony Peacock and Michael Roberts.

Anthony Peacock

In the second half it was more of the same and goals from  former Watford striker Liam Henderson and a second for Michael Roberts all but secured the win,  Andrew Bulford's great volleyed effort at 3 down could not force a fight back and it is Spennymoor who take their place in the draw for next round at UTS' expense.

Michael Roberts bagged a brace.

Someone once said that football was a funny old game and I have really enjoyed following The Fed in this years FA Cup, but like all good things it has to come to an end.  I feel a little bit like Arthur Fonzerelli going out with a chick for only three dates, before moving on to my next conquest.  Unfortunately that's the way of the FA Cup glory hunt and although I walk away from Dunston with some happy memories of the time we spent together, it's time to move on with the new FA Cup love of my life Spennymoor Town.

The Fonz was more than happy with the Moors performance!!

Good luck to the Fed for the rest of the season, as I will be keeping an eye on the table and the results, as well as the future of Scott Fenwick.

This is no time to dwell on the past though, the glory hunt rolls on and from now on its come on Spennymoor!!

The draw for the next round took place at Wembley earlier today and Spennymoor will play the winner of the tie between Ashton United and Salford City at home on the 11th October.

Up the Moors!!!
