FoC, is that you

I saw this guy interviewed on tv. He's something of a zealot, to say the least! He has collected programmes and tickets from all the games he's been to and his house is chock full of it. Cupboard after cupboard crammed full of the stuff. He plans to leave it all to a football charity after he's gone

zealot?

Fri 10th Apr 19:45 Langley v Spartans Youth
Bedfont v Sport London e Benfica
Colliers Wood United v Berks County
Hillingdon Borough v FC Deportivo Galicia - final match before closure/dissolution
- word is no-one is taking over stewardship of the Middx Stadium
- there is a 3/4G full-size pitch alongside that will continue to be be hired out.
- rumours abound that the owners will sell off the site for housing - but not sure where that leaves the Leisure club.

London Samurai Rovers v Chalfont St Peter - defeat at Hillingdon B. on Thu eve, consigned Chalfont to the bottom 2
Molesey v Rising Ballers Kensington - RBK finished bottom but that might not be certain relegation
- nominally 3 to drop providing there are suitable applicants/replacements - see below

Penn & Tylers Green v Wembley
Spelthorne Sports v Holmer Green
Woodley United v Westside @ Rivermoor
- no confirmation of sides successfully applying for promotion from the RFLs (Regional Feeder Leagues) - and the Division has run 'one-short for 25/26 - since the folding/hiatus of Windsor ...... but thought likely to be three - maybe be a few others may 'transfer' in out:
- Maidenhead Town (currently @ Burnham) - high enough finish in the Thames Valley Premier league (currently 3rd) to be eligible - I'm sure that's why they moved there from Bisham?
- Dial Square - (moving to Knaphill from Chertsey to make room for VW) - was @r$enal's first name were apparently founded by 'disaffected Gooners' in Jan 2020 - and are the only likely candidates from the Surrey Premier County League
- Hayes & Hillingdon (currently at Uxbridge) top of the Middx County League - but possibly needing a new roost as I thought Southall were going back to Honeycroft - s'pose H&H could pop over to the Skyex if they can afford it?
- if it is to be three down : then Spartans Youth have a game in hand to try and get above Spelthorne (themselves have 2 more games after Sat), Sandhurst or Depor

Fri 10th Apr 19:45 Langley v Spartans Youth
Bedfont v Sport London e Benfica
Colliers Wood United v Berks County
Hillingdon Borough v FC Deportivo Galicia - final match before closure/dissolution
- word is no-one is taking over stewardship of the Middx Stadium
- there is a 3/4G full-size pitch alongside that will continue to be be hired out.
- rumours abound that the owners will sell off the site for housing - but not sure where that leaves the Leisure club.

London Samurai Rovers v Chalfont St Peter - defeat at Hillingdon B. on Thu eve, consigned Chalfont to the bottom 2
Molesey v Rising Ballers Kensington - RBK finished bottom but that might not be certain relegation
- nominally 3 to drop providing there are suitable applicants/replacements - see below

Penn & Tylers Green v Wembley
Spelthorne Sports v Holmer Green
Woodley United v Westside @ Rivermoor
- no confirmation of sides successfully applying for promotion from the RFLs (Regional Feeder Leagues) - and the Division has run 'one-short for 25/26 - since the folding/hiatus of Windsor ...... but thought likely to be three - maybe be a few others may 'transfer' in out:
- Maidenhead Town (currently @ Burnham) - high enough finish in the Thames Valley Premier league (currently 3rd) to be eligible - I'm sure that's why they moved there from Bisham?
- Dial Square - (moving to Knaphill from Chertsey to make room for VW) - was @r$enal's first name were apparently founded by 'disaffected Gooners' in Jan 2020 - and are the only likely candidates from the Surrey Premier County League
- Hayes & Hillingdon (currently at Uxbridge) top of the Middx County League
- if it is to be three down : then Spartans Youth have a game in hand to try and get above Spelthorne (themselves have 2 more games after Sat), Sandhurst or Depor

[Double C]

Great update for the league there

National South is always so crazy close

Saw dorking lost a 6 pointer to Worthing other day, and to Horsham before that

[Double C]

big weekend for the Dons unfortunately did not go their way

looks like playoffs AGAIN for them, and if they bottle it this time then I really do not know what they can do

They signed a guy called Femi Akinwande who was the player who caused the massive fight between Welling and Potters Bar manager

and that is 3 steps above so they are really trying to go hard

[Four Of Clubs]

big weekend for the Dons .....looks like playoffs AGAIN for them ......

They signed a guy called Femi Akinwande who was the player who caused the massive fight between Welling and Potters Bar manager

--- he was a Youth player at Millwall before moving down to Welling - is only 30 - has spent his Senior Career at a raft of NL clubs over the last doz. years - playing the majority for the Essex 'giants' : 'ricay & Hornchurch plus amongst many many others : Braintree, Carshalton, Maldon & Haringey - never seems to stay anywhere for long?
- moved between Welling and Potters Bar - possibly where the 'difficuties' arose most recently??

Scunthorpe United 1-0 Brackley Town - 'Saints' are down as are Morecambe
Southend United 0-0 Solihull Moors – Trophy finalists ‘Sarfend’ probably only need a point from their last 2 games to confirm a PO elimination spot

Tamworth 0-1 York City
Woking 5-1 Morecambe
Yeovil Town 0-0 FC Halifax Town

Hungerford Town 1-3 Basingstoke Town - 'Crusaders' relegated – ‘stoke probably safe with 2 games to go – are 4 pts and five places above the bottom four

Aylesbury United 3-1 Stotfold
Biggleswade Town 1-0 Flackwell Heath
Enfield 1-3 Beaconsfield Town
Marlow 3-1 Hertford Town
Welwyn Garden City 4-3 Thame United – United cling on to the last PO spot – last 2 games against PO contenders above them

- long-time leaders Leighton Town are Champions

SL1-S
Didcot Town 0-1Malvern Town
Shaftesbury 2-1 Winchester City – ‘Winch’ still in 4th are beaten at the side who can dislodge them from a PO spot.
- Shaftesbury in 6th also go to rock-bottom Tavistock in midweek.
- Bps Cleeve currently in 5th are at Supermarine tonight (Mon)

Tavistock 0-3 Swindon Supermarine

IL1-SC
AFC Portchester 1-2 Southall
Ascot United 5-2 Horndean – Ascot’s 3 pts clear of the drop have their last game against relegation rivals Met Police at the Racecourse on the 25th
– can still be overhauled by Littlehampton – who’ll need something at H&Y next w/e, then play relegated Horndean
- 'Yellamen' are at RPV next Sat

Binfield 3-0 South Park (Reigate) – ‘Moles’ 3 up by HT – still need a point for safety
Bognor Regis Town 1-1 Raynes Park Vale

Ashford Town (Middx) 4-0 Wokingham Town
Broadfields United 2-1 Virginia Water – winners here moved above Burnham in to 2nd but only have 1 fixtue remaining – ‘Blues ahve 2
Harefield United 0-4 Ardley United – Ardley climb above Reading City (beaten in the League Cup on Sat - at Abbey on pens) into the last PO spot – both have 3 games to play
– Ardley host Milton on Tue
- North Greenford are behind ‘Cityzens’ on GD same number of games played

Holyport 1-0 Kidlington – ‘port’s still in some danger have their final game @ Amersham next Sat 18th.
- that is a real “do or (possibly) die clash” as either could be overhauled, should N.Leigh manage a win in their last 3 games
- a draw would be enough for Holyport

Wallingford & Crowmarsh 2-2 North Leigh – draw means W&C can’t make the POs
- Nor Lye hanging on in 2nd bottom – 2 pts behind Amersham with 3 games left :
H v Burnham this Tue then host W&E NEXT Tue and finish at Wokingham on the 25th

Windsor & Eton 3-1 Milton United – W&E in 4th have 5 games remaining all away from Stag Meadow
- starting at Rivermoor this Tue – BA on Thu – Ardley on the 18th then Nor Lye, finishing at Hilltop on the 24th
- not quite sure when the PO S-Fs have been fixed:
I thought they were supposed to be w/e 25th which wouldn’t give W&E any recovery time to speak of. Need to have a dig about.....

CCL-PS
Badshot Lea 0-1 Cobham
Camberley Town 2-1 Alton - barring reprieves Cambo will be relegated in spite of this win
Chipstead 0-1 Thatcham Town
Epsom & Ewell 3-0 Fleet Town
Eversley & California 3-0Redhill
Sheerwater 3-0 Balham
Tadley Calleva 2-0 Sutton Common Rovers – ‘The Romans’ confirmed in 2nd – they do have the one remaining fixture to complete the division @ E&E on Tuesday evening.

CCL-1
Fri Langley 1-2 Spartans Youth
Bedfont 1-3 Sport London e Benfica
Colliers Wood United P-P Berks County – not sure what the Fixture Sec. was on here
- that game was played in mid-Dec - was corrected late on during the week to ......
Colliers Wood United 0-3 Brook House
Hillingdon Borough 4-1 FC Deportivo Galicia –att reported as only 50 – sad ending for the club if that was the actual figure for their last league game.
– have a chance of Silverware in what will be their final season - and one more game at the Middlesex Stadium - Div One Challenge Cup S-F v SLeB scheduled for the Tue 28th
- not sure where the Final will be - be quite fitting if Borough could get there
– held sometime early in May – the other half of the draw is still at Q-F stage: Holmer Gn due to host Langley on the 21st – that’s a repeat of last season’s Final held at Abbey Rgrs
- Penn & T waiting for the winners of that.

London Samurai Rovers 2-0 Chalfont St Peter -
Penn & Tylers Green 3-0Wembley - P&TG champions
Spelthorne Sports 3-4 Holmer Green
Woodley United 1-0 Westside – United need another win from 2 games to be assured of a PO spot – host CWU on Wed night – then Spelthorne next Sat
Berks Co & PFC have completed their fixtures but could both be edged out should Woodley and Wembley pick up points in their remaining games
- Holmer Green’s astonishing run-in started just too late - 10 straight wins scoring 40 goals in that run
– they will probably miss out barring a collapse of both the above clubs in their remaining games: coupled with wins v Molesey on Tue and at Westside next Sat

Whitchurch United 3-1 Ringwood Town
Yateley United 4-1 Folland Sports
– most clubs have 3 or 4 games left – nothing settled yet
- Fleetlands have a 7 point gap and 5 to play so are certainly in pole position but could be caught – though unlikely :
- POs line up currently as Colden Common, 'Jam Boys', Yateley and Folland Sports - with Cove only behind them on GD.

TVPL-P
Goring United 0-1 Newbury Town
- was at this: a fairly sterile affair short on incident – with very little riding on it
- 'technically' means I’ve 'completed' the division, what with recent shifts around groundshares
- was a chilly blustery PM with a few squally showers
- not much by way of facilities and no shelter/seating
- an open public field shared with Tennis Courts
– small club building was open for loos and changing rooms but no refreshments on offer today – I doubt they have sufficient volunteers
- is very handily placed for the Railway Station
– nipped into the ‘Miller of Mansfield’ after the game, for a swift half and just in time for the Grand National (match had been a 14:00 KO)
- left my mate to have a ‘tour round’ - tho’ the ‘John Barleycorn’ is currently shut – so other than the ‘Catherine Wheel’ close by, he’d had to have trudged back down thru the village and over the river for any other hostelries (Swan/Bull etc) ?

Henley Town 1-1 Woodcote
Wargrave 2-0 Finchampstead

[Royals and Racers]

Big match for both clubs tonight
Reading City 1 Windsor& Eton 4
City all but out of the play-offs now but W & E still got a chance of finishing top and automatic promotion.

[Four Of Clubs]

Big match for both clubs tonight
Reading City 1 Windsor& Eton 4
City all but out of the play-offs now but W & E still got a chance of finishing top and automatic promotion.

...noticed that result - - wheels really fell off for City having managed to reel in a PO spot from way off the pack.

I was at a very tight tussle in WESSEX ONE between 2 PO contenders at Cove tonight.
att 127 the 'Wasps' bt Whitchurch Utd 1-0.
Still a couple games apiece amongst 4 clubs, all 4 bunched up now on 79 pts - 10 behind leaders Fleetlands.
- they should be confirmed as Champions after the next 'round' - need 2 pts from 4 to be certain but face Folland on Thu eve - the only side who could overhaul them.

Yateley are hovering just a point further back in 6th.

Also in the CCL tonight - Burnham suffered a 0-1 loss at North Leigh - who are now safe from the drop as the two clubs below them meet on Sat (Amersham v Holyport)

Ardley thumped Milton 5-1 to climb back above City into 5th
- NGU in 7th aren't quite out of it either, should they manage to win their three remaining games - all at home - including vs 2nd placed Broadfields this Wed and crucially Ardley on the 21st.

[Father Flipper]

Was at the Cove v Whitchurch game. Only goal was an exquisite free-kick. Other than that, not a lot happened. Referee seemed to let play rumble on regardless of who was kicking lumps out of who. Really nice burgers at Cove as well.

Last night was at Fleet Spurs v Caversham in the TVPL Div One. Ended up running the line. A far more entertaining fixture, Caversham won 3-2, probably should have won by more, and yet easily could have come away with nothing. Fleet had a chance to level with the last chance of the game, but their forward managed to miss a sitter from three yards out - a miss that the word "inexplicably" was invented for. The ref was a nice bloke, but was probably at the right level...

And if you think some of those other leagues are tight:
POS Team P W D L GD PTS
1 Cookham Dean 17 11 2 4 27 35
2 Allied Community Elite 17 10 5 2 12 35
3 Wraysbury 20 9 8 3 10 35
4 Rotherfield United 19 10 3 6 23 33
5 Caversham United 18 10 3 5 17 33

ACE have Rotherfield on Saturday, Caversham on Monday before ending with games against Chalfont, Mortimer and Marlow.
Cookham have Chalfont, AFC Reading twice and Fleet Spurs (three of the bottom four) plus Bramley. Easier run-in makes them favourites for me.
Wraysbury have Mortimer and Caversham.
Rotherfield have ACE, Bramley and AFC Reading
Caversham have the hardest run in I think - ACE, Hype Train, Wraysbury, before ending the season way after everyone else at home to Fleet Spurs.

Maidstone United v Worthing

Torquay United v Hemel Hempstead Town
- 3 pt lead for Worthing at the top - they go to PO chasing Maidstone whilst DW host relegated Bath - all clubs have 2 to play
- Torquay & Hornchurch 1 pt further back then in very close quarters : W-s-M, Hemel and Ebsfleet currently make up the top
-anyone down as low as Chelmsford in 11th (includes Maidenhead in 8th) still hoping to reach the top 7, to extend their season and strive for STEP01

Plymouth Parkway v Hanwell Town
Poole Town v Havant & Waterlooville
Sholing v Wimborne Town
Taunton Town v Bracknell Town
Walton & Hersham v Uxbridge
Weymouth v Chertsey Town
Yate Town v Gloucester City
- a few odd catch-up games to sort out but most sides have 2 to play: W&H Champions
- Chertsey and Sholing probably too much to do to muscle into the top 5 above Berkhamsted - so the POs will probably comprise: Gloucester Farnham Pool and Berko
- at the bottom Weymouth and Dorchester hanging on hoping for slips from half-a-doz clubs within a few of points
- realistically only the 'Terras' look like having a prayer of survival

SL1-C
Biggleswade v Beaconsfield Town
Hadley v Aylesbury United
Hertford Town v Flackwell Heath
Marlow v Enfield
Thame United v Biggleswade Town
- most have 2 to play - Leighton Town: Winners
- relegation settled with the final PO spot being between Thame and Hertford
- Ware could finish 5th but only in the unlikely event these two lose BOTH their remaining fixtures and Ware win both of theirs.

SL1-S
Exmouth Town v Winchester City
Mousehole AFC v Didcot Town
Swindon Supermarine v Bideford
- Willand Rovers' win in midweek puts them 1 pt above the line & relegates Bashley, with Brixham looking most likely to join them in the drop with Tavistock.
- most have 2 games left: Melksham could still catch Willand or Falmouth 3 pts higher (and with a game in hand) to survive - - but will need something from the visit of newly crowned Champions Frome to take it to the final w/e round
- next Sat crucial clash sees Falmouth host Melksham, whilst Willand host doomed Tavistock
- covered the POs earlier - Winch in 4th should be involved barring collapse in their last 2 games

IL1-SC
AFC Portchester v Hanworth Villa
Bedfont Sports v Horndean
Binfield v Kingstonian
Egham Town v Bognor Regis Town
Hartley Wintney v Harrow Borough - Hartley safe and just as well as they slipped to defeat against bottom club Fareham midweek.
Littlehampton Town v Hayes & Yeading United
Metropolitan Police v Fareham Town
Raynes Park Vale v Ascot United
South Park (Reigate) v Moneyfields
Southall v Leatherhead
Westfield v Hendon
- Westfield confirmed runners-up (to Leatherhead) assured of a home tie in the POs
- all sides have 2 left to play
- POs made up of Moneyfields, Hanworth V. & Portchester
- relegated already: Horndean and Fareham both go back to the Wessex Premier
- other two - or possibly only one with Harrow B's reported 'demise' - currently Littlehampton (would go to SCFL) and Met Police (drop down to CCL - or at a pinch the SECL
- lots depending upon the IL1-SE relegations & respective promotions :
- looks like an even Sussex/Kent split there (currently) with Three Bridges stepping up to the Isthmian Premier as Champions
- only one 'south of the Thames club' looking likely to come down (Cray Valley) - especially with '#s' (Hashtag Utd) self-demotion
- so from THIS division - Bedfont Sports, Hendon & Ascot are still at risk tho' the gap is 3/4 points
- 'Moles' need just a point from their last 2 to be clear of the bottom 4 - quite an achievement bearing in mind how far they were adrift at one stage.

CCL-PN
Fri 17th Reading City v Abingdon United - 'Cityzens' almost certainly miss out on the POs following another heavy reverse at Rivermoor this week
Amersham Town v Holyport
Ardley United v Windsor & Eton
Ashford Town (Middx) v Milton United
Harefield United v Burnham
North Greenford United v Wokingham Town - like Reading City NGU ran out of steam late on and look to have missed the chance of 5th
- were beaten at home by 2nd placed Broadfields on Wed night.
- POs were supposed to be next w/e but W&E have a league game scheduled for next Fri night (24th @ Hilltop) so that must be uncertain
- not delved about to find-out if the CCL have re-considered yet

Molesey v Colliers Wood United
Penn & Tylers Green v Oxhey Jets
Spartans Youth v Rising Ballers Kensington
Wembley v Langley - Wembley could dislodge PFC Victoria from the last PO spot with a win here
- that would also drop Woodley back to 5th, consigning them to an away trip to runner-up Bedfont in the POs

Westside v Holmer Green
Woodley United v Spelthorne Sports - Woodley confirmed in the POs after 3-0 win over CWU on Wed all the goals in the first 1/2 hr.
- Berks Co miss out by 1 point
- Brook Ho will host the club finishing 4th
- Penn & Tylers Green: Champions - pleased for them - they have spent a good deal but in steady increments, on their French School Meadow ground over the last few years,
- have brought it up to a much higher standard than my first visit there many years ago - when it was just a roped off field.

TVPL-P 14:00
Henley Town v Reading YMCA @ Mill La
Maidenhead Town v Burghfield @ Burnham FC
Westwood Wanderers v AFC Winkfield @ Denefield School
Woodcote v Newbury Town @ Woodcote Rec
- WW dropped two more points midweek (Wed eve) in the show-down at Wargrave – so are still unbeaten – game was switched late on from Cantley to Finch
- they stay 6 points clear but both have about half-a-doz. Games to play still.
- neither can go up where they currently play but Maidenhead Town in 3rd could as they lodge at Burnham – not certain if they have applied for promotion to the CCL 26/27

Thu evening spent at Arbour Park for the B&B Senior Sunday Final
- County FA couldn’t be @r$ed to produce a programme, which is unusual/disappointing as they normally put one on line.
- crowd was 287
Inter Versa from the Thames Valley League were well-beaten in the end 2-4 by our very own ‘’Give Back’ (Reading & District Premier)
- stark indicator of the respective strengths of the two leagues – IV have just picked up the title for the third year running – were 100% last term.
- They scored at about 5 per game in only a 12 game season and hit considerably higher averages in the various Cup Comps they enter
– upwards of 80 goals in about a dozen ties.
– GB have an 18 match season but they are evidently the kind of side IV don’t encounter very often in their normal surroundings.
(Big Fish:Small Pond)
- both sides can call upon decent Sat. level players – e.g. I think IV have Tyler Robinson from Reading City leading their line
- GB have a squad regularly packed with STEP03/4/5 players.
-notably one of their goalscorers yesterday evening, finishing off a corner routine of real quality, was ‘Bodgers’ son Anton Rodgers
– he was at Basingstoke Town last time I noticed him?
