FT 3-0 Cirencester Town FC v Welwyn Garden City FC

Obviously hope Ben Whitehead’s injury - in the last minute of a ‘dead rubber’ - isn’t as bad as it looked. Comprehensive win without reaching any heights as Town miss the play-offs by a single place. The Lee-Peare double act excellent. Good to see club legend Rita Davis honoured.

Looking at potential teams in both the Southern League Div 1 Central and South, the prodigious distances are unacceptable at grass roots football level with nearly all team members & management having full-time jobs. So it’s a shame, but an understandable decision by the club.

Even if the rumours of slashed budgets at Cirencester Town FC next season are true, I’m sure we’ll put out a competitive and watchable team - we always do. And I don’t imagine the crowds will drop off much, if at all. Be good to have a cup run for a change!

Might he be a much-needed holding midfielder?

#stfc Encouraging start to transfer window from Kennedy/Russell with Clarke (club captain?) and Sobowale plus securing Ofoborh, McGurk and McGregor. BUT we so need at least one experienced centre back and a prolific striker (both expensive) soon or I’m going to get nervous.

Best of luck with your new challenge, Jonah. Don’t promote George too soon. ‘You can’t win anything with kids’.

Another athletic 6ft defender for #stfc. ✅ Anyone know why it’s taking so long to get Mark Kennedy’s ‘fantastic’ No.2 over the line?

And good social media work, team.

👏👏👏👏👏

Audience has been a red-hot favourite four times in his career - and lost every one.

Local media dealing with managers - who are, to a man, chippy - is like engaging with a family member who has severe depression. They will ignore your 19 positive comments and pounce on the one piece of negativity you let slip. A quiet off the record word was the way to go.

We know one player who has bought into the Ian Holloway effect at #stfc. Today was the first time we saw the Ollie Clarke we thought we had signed. Captain Flawless.

So extra time in the FA Cup win over Colchester cost me a £40 parking fine. Just as well the seat was half-price. #stfc

We’ll just have to concentrate on the FA Cup. #stfc

WHAT A GAME! So pleased for Drinan to get his goal. His other chance which hit the post would have been the breakaway goal of the season. Utterly deserved win. Guts and quality. When was the last time we have been able to say that?#stfc

Can’t get my head round why a team on a roll was so poor in the first half. Kilkenny the only midfielder who turned up. Butts was the spark after the break, with Kabs taking over the baton. And we were pretty relentless to get that joyous finale. #stfc

I’d have Wollacott back in a heartbeat. 11 clean sheets from 39 games under Garner. #stfc

Great to see my favourite golfer, Alex Noren, gain his first victory in 7 years at #BetfredBritishMasters. He didn’t let us down in the Ryder Cup at Le Golf National. Just saying.
