Gorgeous skies but a cold evening at Arlebury Park for the visit of Velocity Wessex League Division One champions Hamworthy Recreation. Alresford Town FC
In my book ‘The Cup’ I wrote a piece about what Nick Hornby called the ‘beautiful and strange tradition’ of the marathon tie. Now, we’re not going to have replays at all. A shocking and shameful decision by the FA. #pitchpublishing
Rural setting but industrial backdrop for tonight’s action - Fawley AFC 🏭 v Bashley FC in the Southampton Senior Cup.
Happy publication day to Wisden Almanack - my 13th edition as a contributor and still a source of enormous pride.
From the Long Room to Longmeadow. Alresford Town FC already 1-0 up against Whitchurch United FC.
The Long Room looks a picture as always for the Wisden Almanack dinner. Always a special occasion and an honour.
Another Tuesday night, another NG. A dip into the uhlsport Hellenic League for Highworth Town FC v Pershore Town FC.
It’s soggy but we have football. A Velocity Wessex League division one cracker in prospect with Alresford Town FC taking on play-off rivals Downton FC
Another soaking Tuesday but there’s always football at AFC Stoneham. Looking forward to seeing the Velocity Wessex League title contenders against USPFC
Great to be back at Alresford Town FC on Non-League Day. Ringwood Town FC the visitors. Come on you Magpies!
Still looking for a game on Non-League Day? Friendly club, good bar, team going for the Velocity Wessex League play-offs. Should be a great afternoon.
Another Tuesday, another NG. More Combined Counties Football League action, Knaphill FC v COBHAM FOOTBALL CLUB.
Tuesday night and another NG. Tonight it’s Midhurst & Easebourne Fc v Haywards Heath Town FC - a bit of Sussex action.
Fulfilling a long-held ambition tonight by visiting Marlow Football Club. Top of the table clash with Chertsey Town FC. Very good first half.
A wet and windy night but an NG! It’s Milton United FC v Reading City FC in the Combined Counties Football League Cup.
Enjoyed my visit to Wokingham & Emmbrook last night. Found the signage rather perturbing, though. Holyport FC | Est 1897 Combined Counties Football League
