dizzynewheights Excellent result for MUFC Saturday. Sutton did not look like title contenders at all.
3 big games this week including a massive 6 pointer against Tonbridge at York Road on Saturday. No Reading game and half price entry - expecting a bumper crowd.
...sadly back down with a bump on Thursday night - beaten 1-3 at York Rd by Concord Rangers - though Magpies stay out of the bottom three for the moment - in part due to Dover's late goals at Tonbridge in a 2-0 win. 'stoke continue to try their hardest to scupper Maidenhead's efforts - going down 2-3 at the Camrose to Chelmsford - was a 91st minute winner for the visitors.
.... here's the rest of this w/e's NL 'fare':
Saturday 12th April

Macclesfield Town v Aldershot Town

Havant & Waterlooville v Concord Rangers
Maidenhead United v Tonbridge Angels
Sutton United v Ebbsfleet United
SOUTHP
Bideford v Chesham United
Burnham v Corby Town
- No game for Hungerford this w/e - will be hoping Cambridge City and Stourbridge slip up.
SOUTH1C
Ashford Town (Middx) v Slough Town
Aylesbury v Barton Rovers
Beaconsfield SYCOB v AFC Hayes
Chalfont St Peter v Egham Town
Chertsey Town v North Greenford United

Badshot Lea v Hartley Wintney
Chessington & Hook United v Epsom & Ewell
Colliers Wood United v Molesey
Cove v Bedfont Sports
Croydon v Raynes Park Vale
Farnham Town v Ash United
Frimley Green v Mole Valley SCR
Hanworth Villa v Horley Town
South Park v Camberley Town 1st v 2nd - S.Park virtually champions - would confirm it if they win this one - Camberley 13 points behind have 6 to play - can't see hosts slipping up in their remaining four games after this anyway. Even if (as many expect) they lose at bogey side Epsom & Ewell (in 3rd) next Sat they still have two games vs strugglers Horley & Bedfont Sports - finishing their season off v Windsor on May 3rd
Wembley v Alton Town
Windsor v Westfield - 5th v 4th - would be a good time for Windsor to rediscover some form - especially with Cove breathing down their necks in 6th on GD.
CCL1
Banstead Athletic v Eversley & California
Cobham v Sheerwater
Knaphill v Bedfont & Feltham
Sandhurst Town v CB Hounslow United
South Kilburn v Dorking
Worcester Park v Staines Lammas
HELLP
Abingdon United v Highmoor Ibis - thunderous return to form for H/I on Thursday night when they battered usually free-scoring Nomads 4-1 on their own ground - probably secures them a top four finish - I suspect they are too far back (10 pts with 4 to play) to make a challenge on current top two Ardley or Wantage - but they might pip Ascot for 3rd place.
Ascot United v Oxford City Nomads
Binfield v Shrivenham
Bracknell Town v Reading Town
Brimscombe & Thrupp v Flackwell Heath
Holyport v Wantage Town
Newbury v Abingdon Town
HELL1E
AFC Hinksey v Rayners Lane
Chalfont Wasps v Didcot Town Res
Finchampstead v Henley Town
Headington Amateurs v Burnham Res
Penn & Tylers Green v Woodley Town - Woodley just announced a three-year ground share at RTFC - which might well secure their future at STEP06. They just need to start getting it right again ON the pitch.
Seemingly any 'non-lit/no seats' STEP06 club will be demoted at the end of Season 14/15 - for example locally that would include Wok & Emm, Finch, Chalfont Wasps and Penn & Tylers. Would appear groundshares may be the only life-line available. Though personally, I doubt the Hellenic League will co-operate in forcibly evicting clubs if it means drastically reducing their membership - could spell the end for both STEP06 Hellenic Divisions - who are already swelled by reserve sides as it is.
Wokingham & Emmbrook v Chinnor
WESSP
Whitchurch United v AFC Portchester
Winchester City v Totton & Eling
WESS1
Andover New Street v Hayling United
Fleet Spurs v Ringwood Town
Petersfield Town v Cowes Sports
Tadley Calleva v East Cowes Victoria
Team Solent v Pewsey Vale
... got two games in this week: Tue saw CCL1 Champs elect Spelthorne Sports (need 3 points from their remaining 5 matches to claim the title) , preserve their unbeaten league record and comfortably beat 2nd placed Knaphill 3-1.
On Wed eve, dipped down into the Hants Prem League for a 'silly season' (unlit midweek KO - 18:15) and watched 2nd place Winchester Castle lose 1-2 to 3rd placed Baffins Milton Rovers (nr Portsmouth)
Not sure where tomorrow - will let youngest choose if he's not too tired after his own match in the morning - quite fancy Sluff's trip to Ashford Middx.
