Stephen Clemence is excited about the upcoming FA Cup clash between Barrow AFC and Doncaster Rovers, as he hopes to create more unforgettable memories for the fans. Despite a tough month in October, Clemence is drawing inspiration from Barrow’s recent Carabao Cup run and aims to continue the momentum in the FA Cup.
Reflecting on their previous Carabao Cup match against Premier League giants Chelsea, where they faced a 5-0 defeat, Clemence remains positive and motivated to provide fans with similar experiences. The support from fans during the Chelsea game left a lasting impression on him, and he is eager to give them more memorable moments.
In order to replicate their successful cup run, Barrow must advance to the Third Round and hope for a favorable draw. This is a challenge that Clemence faced with Gillingham last season, showcasing his experience in navigating cup competitions. The upcoming match against Doncaster will be a tough test, especially after their 1-0 defeat in October.
The FA Cup holds a special significance for the Clemence family, with Stephen’s father Ray winning the trophy twice during his career. Stephen himself has fond memories of the competition, having reached the quarter-finals and semi-finals in the past. His first goal for Tottenham also came in a cup match, highlighting the personal importance of cup competitions for him.
As Barrow prepares to face Doncaster in the FA Cup, Clemence is determined to create more unforgettable moments for the fans and secure vital finances for the club. The journey in the FA Cup may not result in winning the competition, but the experiences and memories created along the way are invaluable for both the team and the supporters.
