Match Focus: Real Bedford Host FA Cup Action at McMullen Park
Real Bedford continue their FA Cup campaign against FC Clacton on Tuesday night at McMullen Park
Match Preview
After a draw on the road last week in sub-optimal conditions, FC Clacton now travels to Real Bedford to decide this FA Cup tie.
The Pirates come into this game having secured a win and draw so fat in the league. Still, the home side will be looking to beat Clacton to secure an FA Cup clash against MK Irish at McMullen Park on Saturday.
This game must be won this evening, even if it requires extra time and penalties to separate the teams.
