Onto 2nd game of day & CookBoy missing out on new ground after Dorking Wand Vets opponents scratched. So now at old favourite Hassocks FC watching the ladies v Abbey Rangers Ladies FC in the 1st Qualifying Round of the Women's FA Cup. Still so hot deciding on a lay down in the stand.

So CookBoys trip to the lovely home of Hassocks FC, which wasn't originally planned saw a great Women's FA Cup 1st Qual Rnd tie in which visitors Abbey Rangers Ladies FC edged out the home team by 3-2. CookBoy came up for air during the water break before continuing with his siesta.

After CookBoy does NthSusx 90m siesta in stand at one of his most favourite grounds Hassocks FC he retired to the Greyhound, Keymer for his traditional Sunday Roast. Seen here just before licking plate clean to help on the washing up. Highly recommended, now bring on the crumble.

CookBoy does NthSusx mtch4. At lovely home of @horshamymcafc as the U18s take on 𝗔𝗙𝗖 𝗨𝗰𝗸𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗻 in Prelim Rnd FA Youth Cup. Whilst players limber up CookBoy gives his jaw a workout with a Havana dogchew. Tomorrow night is his big celebratory occasion. All will be revealed then

CookBoy saw @horshamymcafc U18 comfortably beat 𝗔𝗙𝗖 𝗨𝗰𝗸𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗻 U18 6-1 in Prelim Rnd of the FA Youth Cup. The visitors had gone 1 up but the strength & pace of YMCA soon turned things round and powered away. Uckfield went down to 10 in 2nd half.

He's here, he made it. All 20 Premier Sports The SCFL Prem grounds and completed at dog loving @loxwoodfc as they take on Haywards Heath Town FC in the Peter Bentley Cup. Seen below in front of the main stand as he completes his lap of honour. Great place to visit.

At CookBoys big night out he saw a very good Haywards Heath Town FC side convincingly beat @loxwoodfc 3-0 in the Peter Bentley Cup. Napper, Gilbert and Meeres were outstanding for the Heathens although the Magpies did have their chances. Enjoyed Loxwood a lot hope to get back there soon.

Match 6 of wk & CookBoy is at the Crouch, home of Seaford Town FC as they host the Peacehaven & Telscombe Football Club v Colliers Wood United FC FA Yth Cup Prelim Rnd game. What's that you say Cook, 'you've got 11/20 Premier Sports The SCFL Div1 grounds & you want to add to your Prem Div badge'. Unlikely mate as a few ban our 🐶 friends

Fun at the Crouch with Seaford Town FC great hosts for the Peacehaven & Telscombe Football Club v Colliers Wood United FC FA Yth Cup game. Woods pacey front line tore Haven to bits in the 1st 30 & raced into a 3-0 lead. The Haven got one back via pen on HT & set up a nail biting finish with a 2nd. Wood held on though.

Last game of CookBoy does NrthSusx. He's at another new ground at likely the only game left on in Susx tonite following afternoons deluge. It's East Grinstead Town FC who play Eastbourne United AFC in the FA Yth Cup Prelim Rnd. The game reversed as Utd's 3g is being installed. Expecting a goodun.

CookBoy ends his wk with mtch 7 & best game of week. A very talented Eastbourne United AFC U18 came from behind to deservedly bt East Grinstead Town FC U18s 2-1. The Wasps started well & went in front but Utd worked way back in & took control. That said Utds keeper made 3 fine saves with his feet

Excellent gesture by Gosport Borough FC of free entry to Wenesdays nights Southern League Prem game with AFC Totton ⚽️🦌 after the initial game was abandoned on 43 minutes. I understand there will be buckets for anyone who wants to make a donation to match costs.

Excellent Friday night offer at Totton and Eling FC tonight as they take on Clanfield FC in Velocity Wessex League Div 1. Entry is just £3 adults, £1 concessions and U18s Free.

The highs and lows of football. FGS.😡#cafc
