Coverage of the 2022-23 FA Cup season gets underway
this weekend, and we will be LIVE from Marlow FC as they play
host to another local side Thame United in the FA Cup preliminary
round this Saturday 20th August as part of BBC Sport’s early
round coverage.
Marlow compete in the Isthmian League South Central Division and boast the most entry’s
in the competitions history, first taking part in the FA Cup in 1871 and not
missing a season since. They even contributed to the cost of the original
trophy, their highest place finish being the semi-finals in 1882, more recently
making it through to the third round proper in 1993 where they lost to
Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs then made their way to the semi-finals where they lost
to Arsenal, the team who went on to lift the trophy that season.
Thame United of the Southern League Division One Central are
one of Oxfordshire’s oldest clubs, and Mark West has been at the helm for over
15 years making him one of the longest serving managers in non-league football.
He has been responsible for the best FA Cup runs in the clubs history having
twice reached the fourth qualifying round.

BBC Sport
The beautiful game. The national game. The world game.
Football is a phenomenon. Hundreds of millions of people across the globe live and breathe it, playing it with their friends and watching their heroes.
But don't be content to just watch it. Lace up your boots and get your foot on the ball to take part in perhaps the most easily accessible sport there is.
Football gives you an all-round workout. Players run, kick, dodge, sprint and jump, and constantly twisting and turning your body increases endurance, promotes agility and develops physical co-ordination.
Football also promotes teamwork on and off the pitch, as many teams socialise together.
you don't fancy getting muddy, you could try five-a-side .Played on a smaller pitch, it's a good way to make sure you get on the ball more often - and run less !Click hereto find out where you can play in England.
Futsalis similar to five-a-side, only played with a smaller, heavier ball. It places greater emphasis on individual skill and ball control, and is popular in both Brazil and Mediterranean Europe.
Struggle to get the joints moving? Walking Football could be the answer. Check it outhere, andhere.
If you're more interested in stepovers than Sunday league, then freestyle could be for you. The video above will show you what's possible at the very top, but to get startedclick here.
