[Royals and Racers]

Chesham just postponed so it’s Ascot for me to watch Berks County v Bedfont 7th v Top
H-T 1-1
F-T 4-2 cracking game and very impressive from Berks County. Worthy winners on the night. Attendance 52
I do like Ascot but £6 for a pint of Neck Oil is a bit steep !!

[Double C]

Haywards heath, my 2nd local team after bughess hill

They seem to have fallen down 2 leagues lately but now have come into some big money (for this level) and I think had a recently ended huge unbeaten run, they are miles ahead of the southern combination leagues prem

[Double C]

Also se dons play on Monday

1st vs 2nd (afc Greenwich Borough... who just randomly spawned in this league as a brand new team which i didn't think you could...apparently the academy of a step 2 or 3 team) , they are top but played 4 games more

Malmesbury Victoria 2-2 Wantage Town
- got to this : M4 pretty awful driving conditions, especially nr Hungerford. Saw what appeared to be the results of a ‘spin’ – car straddling fast and middle lanes. Luckily (for me) was on the Eastbound carriageway – the Ol’ Bill were arriving as I passed and the tail-back was steadily building at that point. Hope no-one hurt – couldn’t see if other vehicles were involved but visibility was terrible.
- ‘Vics’ often borrow the Stadium here - their ‘Flying Monk’ ground is currently ‘ditched’ - (in both senses!)
– the Stadium bar is very cozy and obviously more spacious than for ‘Centurion’ home games. No food provided today though.
- ‘Freds’ led by two @ the 30’ mark but the ‘temporary lodgers’ grabbed a goal back just before the break and levelled with about 20’ left
- was a match of precious few chances and featured a low level of niggle throughout 2nd half
- just glad to get a game in, were precious few other options that appealed – mostly nearby 3/4G at places I’ve been to quite recently.
- last visit to the Corinium (now the Talent Hire Stadium) was in May 2019 – for an SL PO Final (Ciren. v Cinderford)
– I think only 2 matches survived on grass from my own local ‘possibles’ list.

Maidenhead Town 3-1 Henley Town – Henley due to host leaders, Wargrave, on Wed night – ‘tides’ permitting

Assume you've seen what happened at Bilston FoC

Apparently caused by a Droylsden player saying to one of the mums of the Bilston subs, "you take it up the shitter you slag"

Anyway I ventured to hh but got called off

I really think we Can go to Wembley and win it.....

Not wishing to steal DDs thunder here but…

The Rabson Rovers v West Reading matches (two park teams) regularly used to pull crowds of up to 2k, not bad seeing as it was played in the public park at Rabson Rec in Whitley…..maybe SCR or R&R can back me up here?

Recall a hell of a lot of people there for one of Rabsons games in the early seventies.
