The Non - League thread

[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

[Double C]

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.....

Walton & Hersham 1-1 Bracknell Town – ‘Robins grabbed a very creditable point at the leaders, levelled on 90’+10

That’s the way to get a point.
