Match Focus: Real Bedford Play MK Irish at McMullen Park
Real Bedford continue their FA Cup campaign against MK Irish on Saturday at McMullen Park.
Match Preview
Having played each other just 3 weeks ago on the season’s opening day, The Pirates welcome back an in-form MK Irish to McMullen Park.
Since their defeat to Bedford in the first game of the season, MK Irish are yet to lose a game, in both league and cup action, dispatching AFC Dunstable in the Extra Preliminary Round of the Emirates FA Cup to reach this stage.
The home side comes fresh off their victory over FC Clacton in the replay of their previous round match, looking to continue that momentum into this clash and secure an early season double over MK Irish.
