Just an update. Wingate & Finchley won through to the final last night, so if Charlton win at Welling next Tuesday in Round 2 and then if they beat Barking in the quarter final and then if they beat Hendon in the semi final, they will play Wingate in the final on 2nd May. Still a bit of work to be done.
Everything I’m reading online says that Haringey beat Wingate 1-0 in the semi final played on 28th March. Is that incorrect?
It's Haringey Borough in the final if we succeed in getting there, according to the London FA site which I guess must be the official word. It's not unknown for results to get mangled when they get uploaded to an FA site and need to be corrected later, so it's possible that's what happened.
I see the Haringey semi-final went to extra time rather than straight to penalties as all other ties have. Not sure if that's the rules changing for the semi-final or just that the competition gives clubs the option.
Barking are a real minnow, playing in the Essex Senior Football League, that's level 9 of the football pyramid. A chance to tick off a new ground though!
My apologies for the misinformation. As stated above by others, Haringey Borough are already in the final. They beat Wingate & Finchley in the semi-final.
For those not travelling to Milton Keynes on Tuesday, don't forget that our London Senior Cup tie against Barking takes place the same night. Kick off is 7.45.

We're eligible to enter both, but we've always only ever entered one. We swapped quite recently, I think last year may have been the first time we entered London rather than Kent.
The London FA site says the semi-final will be on Tuesday 25th, the winner of our quarter final at home to Hendon. I assume there have been discussions about making sure there's a ground available. Just to add an element of confusion, the final is at Hendon; that's on Tuesday 2 May. All remaining games kick off at 7.45.
Pretty sure Barking play on a 3g pitch. I know they have progressed a long way in recent years, but never really been a fan of games on these.
They do, there are loads of non-league clubs with 3g nowadays. As long as they can afford/get funding to lay it there is lots of money to be made for them, allowing multiple days of the week for others to use.

It makes sense at that level. So much cheaper to maintain, and it enables multiple several teams to play on the same pitch.
If Charlton get through, I'd like to think they would swap to play away at Hendon (there may even be a rule that says league clubs should play away to non-league clubs?)
The semi-final will be the culmination of the following mad set of Hendon fixtures;
Thurs 13 April - away to Hanwell Sat 15 April - away to Dorchester Tue 18 April - away to Weston Super-Mare Thurs 20 April - away to Gosport Sat 22 April - home to Poole Tue 25 April - hopefully v Charlton
Being in the Southern League is killing us (Hendon).

Is there any chance Hendon move back to the Isthmian? Seemed a very weird decision to move them and Met Police to the Southern League.

A semi final place against Hendon waits for the winner.

Really hoping Charlton beat Barking, to set up a semi-final v Hendon. If that happens, then Tue 25th April is looking like the favourite date.
