The Replay is on Wednesday 6th September 19:45 Kick Off at The Paycare Stadium. Dean Gill our gaffer reckons nearly 1,000 at the gate today. Khalsa usually get 200 people for a league ground. I will be interested to see how many people rock up to Darlo on Wednesday. After thr TV Coverage was a very good game. Khalsa played Route One Kick and Rush first half Darlo who Don't tend to do well on 3G pitches went behind after 5 minutes but after a shaky first 15 we got the equaliser through Ben Priest, low shot into the corner, Had a decent 15 minutes before Khalsa scored on the 43rd minute Osibde grabbing his brace. Darlo had a penalty within the first five minutes but Lewis Gill saw it saved, Louie Baker had a few chances. Khalsa were denied a certain goal to kill it by Blues Loanee Will O Suillivan before some pinball saw Baker volley home the equaliser in the 87th minute. A few minutes before the Khalsa Chance subistute Kerian Miller the striker who scored the most important goal in our history his last minute 30 yard screamer saw us promoted to West Midlands Premier Division he curled an effort just over the bar. Overall a really good game between a Step 7 and Step 8 team. We have played each other in Pre Season Khalsa beating Darlo 1-2 at the Paycare. But Darlo have beaten Chasetowns first XI in a Friendly at the Paycare there the same level as Sporting Khalsa and beat Hendesford 3-0 in the last round. The Winners will get £2,250 the losers £750 Darlaston have made around £3,000 from this run and victory on Wednesday could see us earn Double that total. Overall if Darlo do loose I ay moaning This is the furthest we have got Khalsa got to the Fourth Qualifying Round and out to FC united of Manchester a decade ago. We got on the TV something I never thought I would see and no matter what Darlo have welcomed me into the fanbase given me memories I will likely will never forget and put Darlaston back on the map and made me fall in love with the proper grassroots of English Football. I almost don't care if Albion loose I do obviously but there overpaid prima madonas, Darlo Players have other jobs and it is proper football. Watching the Prem this season has made me fall more in love with non League and got a few mates interested. Forgetting the result I hope today showed just how good Non League Football is and for any of you who have never been during the International Break this one Darlo are away sometimes Non League Clubs allow you to enter with a discount if you have a season ticket for a Local side, so if you haven't consider going it's usually cheap you interact with the Players and Gaffer or at least at Darlo can speak to them about Football and there usually all honest down to earth lads.
