Ravens to begin cup journey proper

FC IoM travel to north east for FA Vase 1st round

On the back of their impressive league form, FC Isle of Man will be starting their cup journey proper this weekend.

The Ravens are taking on Billingham Synthonia in the first round of the FA Vase tomorrow (23 October).

The Manx side qualified for the competition after overcoming Oldham-based Avro FC 3-1 back on 25 September.

FC Isle of Man go into this game undefeated in eight matches in all competitions.

Meanwhile, their opponents Billingham Synthonia currently sit seventh in their respective league, Northern Football League Division 2, with only two defeats in 18 league games so far.

They themselves progressed to this stage of the FA Vase with a 3-1 win over Brandon United last month.

The Ravens will take on Billingham Synthonia at the Norton Sports Complex on Teesside from 3.30pm on Saturday.
