This weekend saw the league sides enter the FA Cup to play against potential bananaskins. The likes of Farsley Celtic, Northwich Victoria and Leatherhead battling to become 'giantkillers' and to become legends in their own small part of England.

As it happens only Basingstoke Town of Conference South managed to make an impact in this year's First Round. A Matt Warner goal in the 25th minute knocked out League One side Chesterfield. The Spireites are (of course) giantkillers themselves having knocked out West Ham United in this year's League Cup. I'm sure many 'Stoke' fans are theorising that they are now better than Arsenal.

West Ham United 1 Arsenal 0
Chesterfield 2 West Ham United 1
Chesterfield 0 Basingstoke Town 1

Well it follows doesn't it?

Basingstoke's reward? A possible derby match against Aldershot Town, if they can beat Chelmsford City.
