Did you know… The name is recorded in 1015 as Mere lafan, meaning "Land left after the draining of a pond" in Old English.
From Norman times the manor, parish, and later borough were formally known as Great Marlow, distinguishing them from Little Marlow. The an-cient parish was large, including rural areas north and west of the town. In 1896 the civil parish of Great Marlow, created in the 19th cen-tury from the ancient parish, was divided into Great Marlow Urban District (the town) and Great Marlow civil parish (the rural areas). In 1897 the urban district was renamed Marlow Urban District,[4] and the town has been known simply as Marlow.

On this day in Rovers history… In 1923, Rovers won 2-1 away at a side called Chattaris Engineers
Rovers most recent game in the FA Cup on this date was in 1990, losing 1-0 at home to Beckenham Town

This was the stage of the competition that Rovers reached last season, going out to Southern League Premier side – and eventual champions, Hereford.

Marlow have beaten Kidlington and Aylesbury United so far in this season’s FA Cup. Their weekend home win over FC Romania was tainted slightly by three red cards in the space of three minutes. Two of the dismissals were for Marlow. Like Rovers, Marlow had a midweek league cup game to navigate, they travelled to Tilbury where they lost by a single goal.
