Tamworth 1 Norwich City 4

A rare treat - Norwich on BBC1 for an FA Cup match! Tamworth were the lowest placed team in the 3rd round and so the TV people were hoping for some kind of an upset given our recent form. I was feeling pretty confident though and Norwich duly obliged by scoring four times so the result was never really in doubt. Tamworth have a tiny ground and muddy field of a pitch and they started off better than we did without really causing us too many problems. We soon got back into it though and scored twice just before half time - a Dion header from a Huckerby cross and a Huckerby shot from a Dion headed flick-on which pretty much killed off the game. Two more goals for us after the break, one each again from Dion and Hucks before Tamworth scored the best goal of the game from outside the area. Quite an enjoyable game overall and through to the next round (away at Blackpool) for the first time in far too many seasons.
