Well, a bit of interesting reading this afternoon.......

First disappointment was seeing the home walkover in the Barkingside v Harrow Borough game.  I was really banking on Dulwich Hamlet facing Harrow Borough (both Ryman Premier) so we didn't have to go to Champion Hill.  Only thing was when Dulwich were away to Harrow on the 22/11 they won 2-0.

If we win tonight vs Erith & Belvedere, and Dulwich win against Barkingside, then it will be a quarter-final game at Dulwich.  Fingers crossed Barkingside do something amazing 

However, the nature of the London FA site and it's target dates, and late/no info on the Ryman site/club sites make it hard to fathom when the games will take place - if they haven't already (I'm pretty sure they haven't though).........spotted that a few miles down the road this evening, a local derby of a LSC game is taking place at King George's Fields - Corinthian-Casuals are hosts to AFC Wimbledon.  

Also, Hendon are out already, being beaten 1-0 by Met Police at (presumably) Imber Court......a change of fortunes for Hendon at that location.    

According to London FA our ref is Neil Davies, which the internet shows as a chap who has been linesman (sorry, assistant) at 10 Championship league games this season, and various appearances at League 1, 2 and cup games.  Would this be the same person?  Also looking at 'The Dere's' site, it seems they are looking to recruit not only a team secretary, but also a commercial manager, so suggesting less than smooth times at Park View Road.  

Hoping T&M stay focused tonight - though playing a SCEFL (formerly Kent league) team, I do recall us bowing out in the competition to another SCEFL team in recent history.....ok, it's looking likely a visit to Champion Hill could be on the cards afterwards (where I am certain they will want revenge for the last time we met in the LSC) but the focus on tonight is of the utmost importance........
