Went to the Bracknell v Binfield game. Cracking afternoon topped off with us beating them for once. Really nasty clash of heads between 2 Robins players that meant to 16 year old subs came on. Made the win even better.
Good crowd too.

Right ! here goes - done an extra-special-end-of-season-run-in NL Preview for this Saturday (could/probably should have done some wfh today but though B&££0&$ to it - its the Kids Hols and they don't pay me to work on my non-working day :mrgreen: )

Saturday 11th April

CONFP
Braintree Town v Aldershot Town
Woking v Gateshead
- Sh!ts well clear of trouble now
- Woking still have a sniff of the play-offs; three games to play currently 7th - 3 pts behind FGR and 4 behind Macclesfield with Eastleigh just above the Cards in 6th.


CONFN
Brackley Town v Barrow
Oxford City v Harrogate Town
- Brackley deep in relegation mire; in 21st have three games left to try and get above Leamington - same points: better GD, would also need to catch Colwyn Bay or Stalybridge. Bottom place Hyde are already down. Brackley host league leaders Barrow tomorrow, who are battling Fylde for top spot.
- OCFC unlikely to feature in the play-offs – also three games left but four points behind and a game ahead of Guiseley in 5th.


CONFS
Bromley v Eastbourne Borough
Ebbsfleet United v Boreham Wood
Farnborough v Chelmsford City
Gosport Borough v St Albans City
Hayes & Yeading Utd v Bath City
Hemel Hempstead Town v Bishops Stortford
Staines Town v Concord Rangers
Sutton United v Basingstoke Town
Wealdstone v Whitehawk
Weston-Super-Mare v Maidenhead United
- Top is a real four-way ride to the line: Boreham Wd & Bromley on 71 pts – Brommers a game in hand – two points behind them are Basingstoke ,also a game in hand and Havant & Waterlooville. Last play-off slot could be any one from Whitehawk, Gosport, Concord Rangers or Hemel.
- Since it appears only two will go down to STEP03 – ‘Magpies’ are probably just safe – 8 points above 2nd bottom Farnborough and both clubs have three games left. Staines are down; Hayes and Yeading a point behind current 'landlords' Maidenhead.



SOUTHP
Burnham v Redditch United
Dunstable Town v Slough Town
Hungerford Town v Chesham United
- Burnham relegated; Banbury in big trouble but have 5 games left to catch Frome or Biggleswade Town 11 points above them. Presumably including the contentious replayed game vs Sluff. Three may go down so 3rd bottom Arlesey Town are the next most likely to join Blues and Puritans in the drop. This of course would skew the STEP04 relegation issue as none of three would logically be placed in 1 S&W – perhaps Banbury will get the short straw. Expecting some re-balancing to take place close-season to move teams between central and S&W – Fleet have requested a move back ‘east’ – their current closest rivals in S&W, are Totton almost 50 miles away. :shock:
- Top of the league not as clear cut – ‘Steelmen’ from Corby are top by 5 points from Poole who have 3 games in hand.
- Play-Off spots completed by Truro, Hungerford and Weymouth – with St Neots in close attention; even Ciren Town & Redditch cannot be ruled out completely yet but have 5 points to make up over three games. All of these have better GD than the Terrras in 5th.
- ‘Rebels’ and ‘Generals’ (Chesham) in mid-table


SOUTH1C
AFC Hayes v Rugby Town
Beaconsfield SYCOB v Aylesbury
Bedford Town v Godalming Town
Chalfont St Peter v North Greenford United
Hanwell Town v Marlow
St Ives Town v Egham Town
Uxbridge v Daventry Town
- Nothing much at stake for our ‘local’ representatives in this division – SYCOB almost certainly safe due to their vastly superior goal difference over North Greenford & AFC Hayes both 9 points below them with three games left. Would expect both to be dropping into the South Mids Premier to be replaced by Kings Langley and possibly Sun Sports from nr Watford. The other SSMP promotion candidates (allowing for grading standards) are London Colney – but I’d expect them to go up to the Ryman One South as they are further round the M25 Eastwards. AFC Dunstable may yet muscle past them and would be contenders for Southern League, like their bigger neighbours Town whom they share Creasey Park with – so grading not an issue.
- Chalfont, Egham, Godalming & Marlow all in mid-table.
- Kettering Town crowned Champions
- Play-Offs currently occupied by: Aylesbury FC, Royston, Rugby and Barton Rovers – Bedworth Utd are level on points with Barton with a game in hand. Hanwell may gate-crash the Play-Offs providing they win all three remaining games – they are 5pts behind though so a tall order. They face Marlow, Barton and Aylesbury


SOUTH1S&W
Bishops Cleeve v Bashley - bottom two meet – an expected win for Cleeve might at least keep some pressure on Wantage to gain the point they still need for safety.

Didcot Town v Evesham United
Sholing v Wantage Town
Shortwood United v North Leigh
Stratford Town v Fleet Town
- Merthyr Town are Champions
- Fleet are safe
- Nor Lye have slipped back recently into mid-table
- Diddy in 6th still have a faint outside chance of making the Play Offs; if they can finish strongly in their last three games. Tomorrow they face Evesham currently 3rd , whilst Larkhall in 5th will expect to beat Tiverton, also buried deep near North Leigh, in mid-table obscurity. ‘Railwaymen’ then have two away trips to end their season, at Supermarine & Wimborne. Larkhall travel to Merthyr and then host Sholing.
- Other play-off spots currently occupied by Stratford Town and Taunton


CCLP
Bedfont Sports v Badshot Lea
Camberley Town v Ashford Town (Middx)

Colliers Wood United v Chertsey Town
Frimley Green v Raynes Park Vale
Hartley Wintney v Hanworth Villa
Horley Town v Spelthorne Sports
Knaphill v Guildford City
Mole Valley SCR v Cove
Westfield v Farnham Town
Windsor
v Epsom & Ewell
- Realistically only ‘Moles’ can catch Camberley for top-spot now. – Wednesday night saw Molesey get back on track; following two surprise defeats against lower table sides over Easter. They secured a thumping 5-0 win over Windsor’s next opponents Epsom & Ewell. Cove and Ashford Town may press Moles for runners-up spot.
- Windsor almost certain to finish 5th and will now have one eye on the B&B Final vs Flackwell at Burnham next week.
- At the bottom theoretically three relegation slots are currently filled by:
o Frimley Green : virtually down - three games left but 8 points from safety
o Guildford City: games in hand and only three points behind a cluster of three teams
o Knaphill: 1 point behind the last safe slot, occupied by Bedfont Sports, who’ve dropped into trouble out of nowhere with 1 point in 18 – presumably whilst all those around them have been picking up surprise wins vs the top half of the table?
- Above these even Westfield up in 12th aren’t out of reach of danger but more realistically Chertsey and MVSCR are most likely to be caught should Knappers and Guildford continue an upturn in form. Hanworth Villa, Horley, (1st and 2nd on current form) and Raynes Park are in the mix too


CCL1
AFC Croydon Athletic v CB Hounslow United
Banstead Athletic v Ash United
Chessington & Hook United v Sheerwater
Staines Lammas v Eversley & California
- Farleigh Rovers need point for the league ahead of AFC Croydon Athletic. Third promotion slot (if three can go up) occupied by Worcester Park who don’t have the grading.
- Bedfont & Feltham probably do and charging up the league since the New Year following a dreadful and much delayed first half of the season – Chessington & Hook. Be a remarkable climb if it ends with them in a position to go back up at the first attempt. They have five games left to make up a 7 point difference to 3rd.
- Bottom two places occupied by ‘Fizzers’ (Sandhurst Town) – rumblings they may be dropping down into the Thames Valley League and Chess ‘n Hooks’ lodgers, Epsom Athletic.
- Potential ‘new boys’ joining the CCL1 for next season from the Surrey Elite League are; Balham FC – who have started playing matches at Colliers Wood; Horsley in the rural wilds north east of Guildford, Battersea Ironsides who play in Wandsworth and Abbey Rangers who have a splendid ground and clubhouse nr Addlestone very close to M25 jn 11.

-
CCL1 Cup Semi-Finals
Bedfont & Feltham v Alton Town
Worcester Park v Epsom Athletic


HELLP
Bracknell Town v Highworth Town
Brimscombe & Thrupp v Binfield
Flackwell Heath v Cheltenham Saracens – Heathens game midweek at Scours Lane was called off. RTFC players refusing to turn out due to an expenses dispute with the owners. Rumours abound for the future concern at RTFC – some hearsay goes as far as to suggest their owner/sponsor (GMB) may even have lost the contract for Security at the Reading Festival and are on the brink of dropping the club altogether!
This means what ought to be a routine win for Flackwell, over the long-time relegated Saracens, whipping boys of the Premier, will bring them the points they need to confirm them as League Champions. The game at Scours Lane has somewhat optimistically been rescheduled for Monday 20th April. Not sure what that means for RTFC’s Semi-Final in the Aldersh!t Senior Cup vs Camberley Town - which was planned for the 21st. :?


Thame United v Ardley United
Wootton Bassett Town v Holyport

HELL1E
Chalfont Wasps v Rayners Lane
Easington Sports v Burnham Reserves
Wokingham & Emmbrook v Headington Amateurs - Sumas need a point for the title.
Woodley Town v Old Woodstock Town

HELL1W
New College Swindon v Letcombe

WESSP
Blackfield & Langley v Whitchurch United
Petersfield Town v Lymington Town
Winchester City v Totton & Eling
- Title could be settled – a win for leaders Petersfield - and City failing to beat T&E, would give them the title. Totton & Eling have been well adrift bottom since the start of the season until a great upturn in form and results from February (when they got their first league win – co-incidentally vs Winchester) has seen them recently overhaul Fareham. I expect their fate is sealed anyway, unless they can win at the Denplan. They need to chase down Christchurch in the last two matches, to escape the bottom two. This may not be an impossible task, as Christchurch’s remaining fixtures after Saturday are two home games vs Petersfield and Winchester!
- Whitchurch having been in close contention up to the New Year, have fallen badly off the pace and sit well back in fifth.

WESS1
Andover New Street v Laverstock & Ford
Fleet Spurs v Romsey Town
- Team Solent clinched the Div One title on Tuesday night at Ringwood. Their 1-0 win puts them beyond reach of probable runners up Tadley Calleva. I expect both could be promoted to Wessex Premier – not too sure of how many ups/downs there are – the above and below steps will have some influence on numbers. The feeder league, Hants Premier, certainly has two clubs with the right grading fighting for top spot: Hamble Club and the splendidly tagged: Baffins Milton Rovers. Bashley are certain to drop down from the Southern One S&W. I doubt if there’s a Dorset Premier League club ready to step up – maybe Portland – who are in close contention – but they left the Wessex about ten years citing excessive travel costs – but were well adrift in their final season.
- Cowes Sports can still overtake Tadley but they are 5 points behind with one game in hand – both clubs have two fixtures remaining, after tomorrow – Tadley travel to Hythe & D and Andover NS; whereas the ‘Yachtsmen’ host Ringwood and Romsey.
- In fourth place sit Amesbury Town occasional front runners, who have the unusual (but not necessarily unique) stat of going the whole league campaign, so far (27 matches) without a draw. Can’t be @rsed to check through all the pyramid but some fellah who’d driven up miles from Devon/Cornwall way, chatted to me as we left the game at Fleet last Monday. He claimed the team he followed had yet to draw. Can’t remember which team he said – thought he said ‘Dawlish’ – but bearing in mind they folded a few years ago, it must have been Buckland Athletic in the Western Prem!

Farceborough relegated yesterday joining Staines in going down. Third club relegated from the Conference South is effectively Salisbury who were expelled back in July.
Hayes and Yeading will be playing at York Road for the foreseeable future.

...indeed not seen anything to change the info that came out last week that stated they hoped to be at Beaconsfield Rd around Xmas 2015. They already have a functioning 3g facility there that the youth teams play on - so work has been progressing whilst the 1sts have been nomadic, in spite of reported financial/funding issues.

Not sure if this was posted above but here's the bit from the H&Y site posted last Monday 6th April.


Funding in Place

The club are delighted to advise that the £300,000 funding that had been required to progress the ground to the level necessary to host Vanarama Conference South football is now in place.

As a result, works will commence shortly with a view to finally returning home, with the aim to be back at Beaconsfield Road by Christmas 2015.

The club have agreed terms with Maidenhead United for a further short spell of ground sharing until our own ground has been approved for the grading necessary.

(06/04/2015)


... here's a round up of Saturday's NL games with further updates of promotion/play-off/relegation issues where any have become clearer (hope I'm not being too repetitive - but it's difficult to keep up with all the twists and turns :wink:

Results - Saturday 11th April

CONFP
Braintree Town 1-1 Aldershot Town
Woking 3-0 Gateshead
- 'Cards' still in 7th, 2 pts outside POs - Eastleigh a point better off in 6th have a game in hand, so are better placed to catch either Macclefield or FGR. Brizzle Roverz and Grimsby confirmed in PO spots - Rovers can still catch Barnet for the title.
- at the bottom Nuneaton and AFC Telford are relegated, Dartford will probabaly join them as they are 6 pts from safety with only 2 games remaining. Above them the last drop place is between Welling and Alfreton who meet on the 18th April.


CONFN
Brackley Town 1-0 Barrow - Brackley grab a life-line with a surprise win over the league leaders. Now a point behind Colwyn Bay and level with Stalybridge who have a game in hand. Brackley go to already relegated Hyde for their penultimate fixture and finish with a home game vs Hednesford.

Oxford City 1-1 Harrogate Town - point didn't help City who remain just in reach of the last PO slot but need to rely upon those above them slipping up

CONFS
Bromley 2-1 Eastbourne Borough
Ebbsfleet United 1-1 Boreham Wood
Farnborough 1-3 Chelmsford City - 'boro relegated along with Fozzy's Staines.
Gosport Borough 1-2 St Albans City
Hayes & Yeading Utd 2-0 Bath City
Hemel Hempstead Town 0-3 Bishops Stortford
Staines Town 0-2 Concord Rangers
Sutton United 2-1 Basingstoke Town - 'stoke beaten by last minute goal ,effectively puts them out of the title race; as are Havant following Bromley's win above.

Wealdstone 0-2 Whitehawk
Weston-Super-Mare 0-2 Maidenhead United - Dave Tarpey brace for Magpies

SOUTHP
Burnham 0-2 Redditch United
Dunstable Town 2-4 Slough Town
Hungerford Town 2-0 Chesham United

- nothing much changes in this division - Corby beaten at Truro but Poole held at home by Hitchin. - Banbury win 3-0 vs Weymouth but are still well adrift of safety.
_ Hungerford's win settles them well into the PO zone - with Terras defeat above and other rivals St Neots held at Dorchester - 'Crusaders' most likely to be up against Truro in the semi-finals.

SOUTH1C
AFC Hayes 1-0 Rugby Town
Beaconsfield SYCOB 1-1 Aylesbury
Bedford Town 0-1 Godalming Town
Chalfont St Peter 2-2 North Greenford United
Hanwell Town 1-1 Marlow
St Ives Town 1-0 Egham Town - 'Sarnies' lose to a goal by the delightfully named 'Seymour-Shove' :lol:
Uxbridge 1-1 Daventry Town
- make or break match for the two clubs chasing a slightly faltering Rugby for the last PO slot next Sat - Hanwell in 6th face Barton in 5th

SOUTH1S&W
Bishops Cleeve 4-0 Bashley
Didcot Town 1-5 Evesham United - this setback together with Larkhall's 5-0 thumping of Tiverton puts Diddy out of reach of the Play Offs
Sholing 0-0 Wantage Town - 'Freds' find safety at last, pulled out a battling performance from somewhere, following some awful results of late - also negates Bps Cleeve's expected win over doomed Bash.

Shortwood United 2-2 North Leigh
Stratford Town 2-1 Fleet Town

CCLP
Bedfont Sports 1-0 Badshot Lea
Camberley Town 1-1 Ashford Town (Middx) - att 143 Camberley grab an equaliser on 92' - the title is still either theirs or 'Moles' providing the latter can keep pace. Camberley leading by 6 points have 2 games left; Molesey 4 - the clincher could be next Saturday when the sides meet at Molesey.

Colliers Wood United 6-2 Chertsey Town
Frimley Green 1-2 Raynes Park Vale
Hartley Wintney 3-0 Hanworth Villa
Horley Town 1-0 Spelthorne Sports
Knaphill 4-2 Guildford City - att 124
Mole Valley SCR 2-2 Cove
Westfield 5-0 Farnham Town
Windsor 0-3 Epsom & Ewell - att 126
- at the bottom, other than Frimley Green who are now cut adrift; its still any 2 from about 8 to go down - Guildford 2nd bottom, still have games in hand on those grouped just above them. May all be immaterial as a current 'rumble' suggests none will be relegated from the Premier - most likely as the division has run one short for 14-15 and there are no likely candidates coming down from the Ryman South - the relegation slots all being filled by Sussex based clubs.

CCL1
AFC Croydon Athletic 3-0 CB Hounslow United
Banstead Athletic 7-1 Ash United
Chessington & Hook United 4-3 Sheerwater
Staines Lammas 2-0 Eversley & California
- not too clear about what is happening here - dependent upon moves above I'd expect - promotion has been three places in recent seasons but likely winners Farleigh will need to groundshare to go up. I know one has been arranged for a spell at Whyteleafe but not sure if it was done in time. Rovers with 2 games left need a point to confirm the title ahead of AFC Croydon who only have one remaining fixture.
- a possible 3rd place promotion slot is currently occupied by Worcester Park, who don't have grading but can be overtaken by two clubs who do: - Bedfont & Feltham and Chessington & Hook. The latter have gone on a great charge up the league since December incl 7 wins from 9. Their ground problems ensured they didn't play a league game in November and fell a long way behind on games played. They face three strugglers in their remaining four games, as well as a potential 'winner takes all' match: at home to B&F on the 25th.


CCL1 Cup Semi-Finals
Bedfont & Feltham 6-1 Alton Town
Worcester Park 5-2 Epsom Athletic


HELLP
Bracknell Town 0-0 Highworth Town - att 137
Brimscombe & Thrupp 3-2 Binfield - 'Moles' season has fizzled out somewhat, with three straight defeats away from home. May yet be overhauled by Thame and/or Highworth for 5th spot. Have a Cup (Floodit) Final on Tuesday evening at Kidlington FC vs North Leigh (Reserves) to look forward to. For their final league match they host the 'Yellamen' in a big derby next Monday (20th). - although they also had a Reading Senior Cup Semi-Final provisionally scheduled for the night after vs Henley???
UPDATE - Reading Senior Cup tie put back to Thursday 23rd April
That's the meat in the sandwich of three away 'derbies' for Ascot who will finish third; Saturday 18th at Bracknell, then the following Thursday (23rd) at Scours Lane - present difficulties at RTFC permitting. RTFC also apparently have a rescheduled league fixture v Flackwell on Monday 20th - which has been moved adjacent to another pre-scheduled Cup game at Camberley the following night - something has to give somewhere! :?


Flackwell Heath 7-0 Cheltenham Saracens - att 165 - 'Heathens' confirmed as Champions - unsurprisingly the 'Flackwell juggernaut' was never likely to be held up by a wretched Sarries side who've managed just 5 points all season.
Thame United 4-0 Ardley United
Wootton Bassett Town 4-1 Holyport

HELL1E
Chalfont Wasps 1-7 {SEVEN} Rayners Lane
Easington Sports 6-0 Burnham Reserves
Wokingham & Emmbrook 2-0 Headington Amateurs - win confirms 'Sumas' as Champions: - now the hard work starts off the field, to try and find a ground of their own in the borough. That may prove more difficult than staying in the Premier next season.
- Poor weather through Dec/Jan/Feb ensures that Henley and Wok & Emm still have five games to play between them. Sumas come to Scours Lane on Wednesday night to play Woodley and finish with a game against their current landlords at Mill Lane next Saturday. Henley's other two matches are: Monday this week at the Gore vs Burnham Ressies, then at home to Easington Sports on Thursday 16th.


Woodley Town 0-5 Old Woodstock Town

HELL1W
New College Swindon 0-0 Letcombe - point takes Letcombe off bottom spot, possibly for the first time this season. They hop over Tytherington Rocks on GD. Now have two games left (Rocks only have one) - another point on Wednesday, H v Purton, would also get them above Fairford, who have finished but they would still have to avoid a heavy defeat @ Hook Norton in their last match to stay there.

WESSP
Blackfield & Langley 4-1 Whitchurch United
Petersfield Town 1-0 Lymington Town - win confirms Petersfield as Champions & successive league titles for them.
Winchester City 3-0 Totton & Eling
WESS1
Andover New Street 2-0 Laverstock & Ford
Fleet Spurs 3-4 Romsey Town

They've "aimed to be back by Christmas" for a few seasons now. The ground is an empty shell with varying estimates of how much is required to fit it out. They're forever looking for the capital investment required to make it habitable

Great ground although the methods used to fund the massive end behind the goal dubious to say the least.
You will recall Graham Westley being in charge then jumping ship to Stevenage, boro folding shortly after.
The new club then won back to back promotions to return to the Conference South only for chairman Simon Hollis to run out of money to send the club into admin.
Cue the arrival of Spencer Day nee Trethewy who secured the debt and installed himself as manager insisting he doesn't own the club. He then tried to get Paddy Power to fund them with a stunt whereby he and all the squad changed their names to Jose Mourinho, Messi, Ronaldo etc. In the meantime they were suspended by the league over their CVA.
This season signed a player for £7k but pleaded poverty. Gradually fell apart on the pitch as Spencer turned the squad over on a regular basis. Their Twitter timeline is utterly classless and Spencer's weekly post match interview hilarious.
They remain in a CVA with Spencer still insisting he doesn't own the club whilst entering an IVA.
Utterly contemptible club

Windsor retained the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy with a slightly unexpected 3-2 win AET.

Great night, excellent performance beating Flackwell Heath the runaway winners of the Hellenic League who still have 2 Cups left to compete in after this defeat. Aided by a red card in ET, and ex Windsor keeper Rob Bullivant punching a corner into his own net.

What a great experience for our 2 16 year olds who came on during the 90 minutes and hardly put a foot wrong.

Slough have withdrawn their appeal against the decision to replay the abandoned match against Banbury Utd, as it's taken so long to get to this point (the original game was abandoned in October) that they don't want the Southern League relegation decided by an appeal - better to have a match to decide it instead (hopefully Slough lose to Frome on Saturday to keep it interesting, then stuff the Oxfordshire ruffians on Tuesday).

http://www.sloughtownfc.net/article/689/Update-on-Banbury-United-vs-Slough-Town-fixture

I can understand the principle, but hope that it does not set a precedent for other matches to be influenced/abandoned/replayed because of some scrote's actions (apparently/allegedly, the scrote that launched a bottle at the ref is still attending matches)...

Anyway, if anyone fancies a feast of football/niggling aggro in Banbury on Tuesday, see you there...

... for those of you not slightly focussed elsewhere this PM 8) - here's today's local NL fixtures:

Saturday 18th April

- RTFC managed to put a side out on Tuesday but went down 2-7 at Scours to Thame - their ninth straight defeat. Have two further home league matches to finish their wretched season, both this midweek - Monday vs Champs Flackwell and Thursday vs Ascot.
Also scheduled to have a Cup Semi-Final (Aldershot Senior) at Camberley on Tuesday evening - surprised that hasn't been moved yet - will keep looking for updates.

Yesterday's NL round-up -

Saturday 18th April

CONFP
Aldershot Town 0-1 Chester FC
Nuneaton Town 1-1 Woking - poor result against rock bottom Nuneaton sees them fall just short of the POs - they will now involve the runner-up either Barnet or Roverzz; Grimsby and two from Eastleigh, FGR or Macclesfield.
- Telford , Dartford and Nuneaton are relegated the last slot will be filled by Welling or Alfreton - all next weeks games KO at 17:15 Sat 25th

CONFN
Gainsborough Trinity 1-2 Oxford City
Hyde 1-2 Brackley Town
- PO places uncertain but OCFC fall just short in spite of their win at Gainsborough; title between Barrow or Fylde
CONFS
Basingstoke Town 0-0 Havant & Waterlooville
Bath City 0-2 Sutton United
Bishops Stortford 0-1 Gosport Borough
Bromley 3-0 Weston-Super-Mare att 2938 see Brommers clinch title
Concord Rangers 0-1 Hayes & Yeading Utd
Eastbourne Borough 0-0 Farnborough
Maidenhead United 1-4 Wealdstone
St Albans City 1-0 Ebbsfleet United
Whitehawk 3-1 Hemel Hempstead Town
- POs between Boreham Wd, Basingstoke, Havant & W and Whitehawk - positions may yet switch about as only three points cover them and they all have 1 league game left.

SOUTHP
Banbury United 4-0 Histon
Chesham United 1-3 Poole Town
Cirencester Town 1-1 Hungerford Town - last minute equaliser for Hungerford
Hitchin Town 4-0 Burnham
Slough Town 1-1 Frome Town
- title still between Corby & Poole
- POs nearly settled; Truro will be joined by runner-up from above and two from Hungerford, St Neots or Weymouth. Terras have game in hand but have taken only 1 point from their last 5 matches & host in form Poole on Tuesday.

SOUTH1C
Aylesbury United 1-1 Beaconsfield SYCOB
Egham Town
2-2 Leighton Town
Godalming Town 2-2 St Ives Town
Hanwell Town 2-3 Barton Rovers
Marlow 1-1 Bedford Town

Chertsey Town
0-0 Horley Town
Cove 1-1 Westfield
Epsom & Ewell 1-2 Knaphill
Guildford City
3-0 Colliers Wood United
Hartley Wintney 0-1 Mole Valley SCR
Molesey 3-0 Camberley Town - 'Moles' grab top spot - in the driving seat now with two games left to Camberley's one.
Raynes Park Vale 1-0 Bedfont Sports
Spelthorne Sports 4-0 Frimley Green
- relegation still unclear as could be any number of sides taking the drop between 3 and 0; so possibly Frimley G down, Guildford have a game in hand to escape, Chertsey have dropped into trouble with only 2pts from 15. A cluster of clubs above them could join them - Horley are probably safe due to a decent GD.
CCL1
AFC Croydon Athletic 3-0 Cobham
Dorking 1-2 Chessington & Hook United
Eversley & California 4-6 Banstead Athletic
Farleigh Rovers 0-1 Worcester Park

HELLP
Bracknell Town 1-2 Ascot United - att 204
Brimscombe & Thrupp 1-1 Abingdon United
Highworth Town 2-0 Kidlington
Newbury 4-2 Holyport - presumably early (KO 13:00) to avoid clashing with finish times at the Gee Gees - - but only 20 paying souls there to watch so not sure?

Shrivenham 0-11 {ELEVEN} Flackwell Heath
HELL1W
Hook Norton 2-2 Letcombe
HELL1E
Didcot Town Res 1-0 Burnham Res
Penn & Tylers Green 2-1 Finchampstead

Just came across this...

Reading Town FC are in all kinds of bother and the situation is so bad that they may cease to exist.

Last summer the Battersea and Wandsworth Trades Union Council took a controlling interest in the club and secured sponsorship with the GMB who through the Southern Region provide the Chairman and Chief Executive of the club.

There has been a problem paying players their expenses (not wages) and apparently this was because the players were not submitting their expenses in a timely and correct manner. This was believed to have been rectified by the players understanding and agreeing to the process and due expenses were to be paid. However, the promised payments (dating back to December) had not be paid at the beginning of this month and therefore the majority of the players have walked out of the club and that was after the manager quit earlier in the year. Since this time the club have failed to fulfil a couple of fixtures (the fact that Hellenic League have made a massive mistake in rescheduling the games rather than awarding points to the opponents is another discussion) and have now managed to scrape a team together to complete the remaining league fixtures but have withdrawn from the Semi-Final of the Aldershot Senior Cup where they were due to play Camberley.

It has also been announced that despite some of the players now being paid their expenses back, most of them will not play for Reading Town FC. Additionally the Caretaker Manager will leave at the end of the season alongside the Secretary.

The rumour mill has suggested that members of the BWTUC were not overly keen in getting involved in the first place.

Seems to be money at Maidenhead. Attendance wise they are only mid table in the conference south so lets not pretend it's the size of the club attracting conference level managers!!

Christof Slough have withdrawn their appeal against the decision to replay the abandoned match against Banbury Utd, as it's taken so long to get to this point (the original game was abandoned in October) that they don't want the Southern League relegation decided by an appeal - better to have a match to decide it instead (hopefully Slough lose to Frome on Saturday to keep it interesting, then stuff the Oxfordshire ruffians on Tuesday).

http://www.sloughtownfc.net/article/689/Update-on-Banbury-United-vs-Slough-Town-fixture

I can understand the principle, but hope that it does not set a precedent for other matches to be influenced/abandoned/replayed because of some scrote's actions (apparently/allegedly, the scrote that launched a bottle at the ref is still attending matches)...

Anyway, if anyone fancies a feast of football/niggling aggro in Banbury on Tuesday, see you there...


In completely predictable scenes, Slough managed to get stuffed 3-0 by Banbury United on Tuesday evening. Banbury are on a great run, and now favourites to escape the drop as Slough only drew with Frome on Saturday, whilst Banbury beat Histon 4-0. Slough basically fell apart after a mistake early in the 2nd half to go 1 down, and the rot set in from there making Banbury (including Jacob Walcott as a sub) look like world-beaters.

The highlight of the evening was the pie and chips (served on proper crockery with a metal knife and fork, no less), which made the defeat slightly more palatable.
As to the match organisation side of the Banbury setup, what a shambles - play was held up for 5 minutes while Banbury looked for the key to turn on the floodlights (bearing in mind this was halfway through the 1st half), and there was only one match ball in play, which meant several stoppages whilst the 'ballboys' retrieved it from the cow field behind the end :lol: Even the Banbury keeper looked non-plussed when presented with a training ball which got used for a couple of minutes whilst the 'real' one was recovered. Tinpot indeed...

Tomorrow's NL fixtures:

Saturday 25th April

CONFP
17:15 Grimsby Town v Aldershot Town
17:15 Woking v FC Halifax Town
CONFN
Brackley Town v Hednesford Town - Brackley probably need to win to make sure of survival - Stalybridge and Colwyn Bay the other sides who could face the drop with already relegated Leamington & Hyde. All three sides fighting to stay up are at home against sides with little to play for.

Oxford City v Guiseley
CONFS
Chelmsford City v Boreham Wood
Ebbsfleet United v Bishops Stortford
Farnborough v Concord Rangers
Gosport Borough v Bromley
Havant & Waterlooville v Whitehawk
Hayes & Yeading Utd v St Albans City
Hemel Hempstead Town v Eastbourne Borough
Staines Town v Bath City
Sutton United v Maidenhead United
Weston-Super-Mare v Basingstoke Town

SOUTHP
Chesham United v Banbury United - as mentioned above 'Puritans' need a win here and to survive, hope that Frome are beaten by St Neots -who need a win themselves to stay in the Play Off places
Cirencester Town v Burnham
Dorchester Town v Slough Town
Hungerford Town v Paulton Rovers
Poole Town v Corby Town - real 'winner takes all final match with 1st v 2nd. A draw is enough for Poole who have the better GD - expect a big turn out at their Tatnam Ground. Went some years back when it was little more than a roped off Pitch in Public Park - difficult to imagine Conference Football being hosted there but they've come a long way since their early revival back in the Wessex.
SOUTH1C
AFC Hayes v Leighton Town
Aylesbury v Hanwell Town
Beaconsfield SYCOB v Uxbridge
Chalfont St Peter v Kettering Town
Egham Town v Bedworth United
Godalming Town v Daventry Town
Marlow v St Ives Town
SOUTH1S&W
Clevedon Town v North Leigh
Fleet Town v Mangotsfield United
Taunton Town v Wantage Town
Wimborne Town v Didcot Town

CCLP
Bedfont Sports v Chertsey Town
Camberley Town v Spelthorne Sports
Frimley Green v Epsom & Ewell
Hanworth Villa v Cove
Horley Town v Farnham Town
Knaphill v Raynes Park Vale
Mole Valley SCR v Guildford City
Westfield v Molesey
Windsor v Hartley Wintney
- 'Moles' certainly have the title - barring a very unlikely big defeat at Westfield and Camberley winning by enough to turn round a 17 goal difference. :?
At the bottom the relegation position is far less clear cut - will post more when I know but anticipate a nervy tussle at Mole Valley where both sides are currently just clear of the bottom three but defeat may drop one into the danger zone should Chertsey win at Bedfont Sports. Even Hanworth Villa could get out of trouble should they beat Cove and enough sides above falter.
Mole Valley are rebranding themselves Sutton Common Rovers and moving in with Sutton United for 15/16 Season.

CCL1
Chessington & Hook United v Bedfont & Feltham
Eversley & California v Cobham
Farleigh Rovers v Staines Lammas
Worcester Park v Banstead Athletic

WESSP
Christchurch v Winchester City
Verwood Town v Whitchurch United
WESS1
Andover New Street v Tadley Calleva
Hythe & Dibden v Fleet Spurs
