I will be honest straight away, I was nervous for this game. When I found out that Westfield's U18s team is basically a Woking-run team, I remembered how we got beat in last year's Surrey Cup by Woking B, who went on to win the trophy. I thought we would be in for a long night away to Westfield in the FA Youth Cup Second Qualifying Round. I first began to notice at around 2pm that it was raining at...
