14/11/12  19:45 - Glossop North End (First) VS Whaley Bridge Athletic (First)

After defeating Belper in the preliminary round and then South Normanton (both Central Midlands Sth) in the 1st Round proper WBAFC is now creating yet more Club history by being drawn against North West Counties Football League Club Glossop North End in Round 2.

Not only is this the Club's 1st ever foray into the Derbyshire Senior Cup but this is the 1st time we have played against a team of this standing; Glossop are currently mid-table in the NWCFL Premier Division which is in the league below fellow Derbyshire Cup contenders New Mills who are a division below Buxton in the Northern Premier.

Whaley took with them plenty of travelling support to South Derbyshire in this a historic 1st Round Tie in the Derbyshire Senior Cup.  South Normanton’s recently appointed a new Manager & Coach had brought with them plenty of players with Football League and Conference experience and Whaley were up against arguable their toughest test to date.
