Isthmian League Cup 2005-06
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Isthmian League Cup 2005-06 was the 32nd staging of the Isthmian League's football league cup competition, the Isthmian League Cup. For the first time, the competition was also known as the "Westview League Cup" due to a sponsorship deal. Previously, it had been known as the "Bryco League Cup".
The competition began on September 6th 2005, with 15 of the 19 First Round matches taking place. For the Isthmian League's Premier Division clubs, the tournament began in the Third Round in November.
Ties are all single-legged and take place at the stadium of the club drawn first. If scores are level at the end of a match, extra-time and penalties (if necessary) are used to determine a winner. However, from the Semi-Final onwards, matches are played over two legs, the first leg being at the stadium of the team drawn first.
All matches at every stage of the competition are scheduled by the league to be played on Tuesday evenings, so as not to clash with already scheduled Saturday league matches. The final of the 2005-06 Isthmian League Cup was held at Grays Athletic Football Club and the winners were Fisher Athletic, who were victorious over Billericay Town by four goals to nil, the final was played infront of 611 spectators.
The current holders of the cup, Fisher Athletic, won't be able to defend their title in 2006-07 due to winning promotion to the Conference South in the same season, and therefore being ineligible for the competition.
