Adams: Cup crash a kick in the teeth.LEE Adams Lee Adams (born August 14, 1924) is a Tony Award-winning American lyricist best known for his musical theatre collaboration with Charles Strouse. Born in Mansfield, Ohio, Adams received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Ohio State University and a Master's from Columbia pulled no punches this week when he described Studley's FA Cup exit as a real kick in the teeth. Studley were slammed 5-1 by Midland Combination side Castle Vale Castle Vale is an area of the City of Birmingham, in England, originally created as an overspill housing estate in the 1960s. History Pre-Castle Vale The area was originally known as Berwood, from the Saxon ‘Bearu’ meaning 'the woods'. and Adams admitted: "We simply didn't turn up. "I can't take anything away from Castle Vale. They were better than us and deserved to win. In fact, they could have won by more. "I'm still baffled by our performance. I'm gutted because it was such an important game to us. "How on earth we can play so well against Tipton Town - who are a very good side - and then prove so abysmal against Castle Vale is beyond me. "If we play against Barwell on Saturday as we did against Castle Vale then it will be a cricket score to them. I just hope Marcus Law takes it easy on us. "After such a terrible performance against Castle Vale, Barwell is the last team you'd want to be playing. "They are scoring goals for fun at the moment and put nine past Rocester this week." To make matters worse, Adams will be missing three recognised central defenders today with Dave Davis, James Beauchamp and Nigel Haylor all unavailable.
