- what with planning my own games Fri/Sat/Mon and having to suffer our annual morning eviction on Easter Sat for the missus' 'Handbell Day' 
- I never quite found the on-line time to produce a preview: so here's a potential bumper edition of my 'Weekly Witless Witterings'.- kicking off with yesterday's review and hopefully (if I have time) tacked on the end - matches available locally for Easter Monday - some early KOs too!
NL Results from:
Saturday 19th April
CONFS
Bishop's Stortford 1-2 Sutton United
Concord Rangers 1-2 Dover Athletic
Farnborough 3-0 Maidenhead United – bad setback here – especially with Whitehawk and H&Y winning – looks like a straight 2 from 3 down, out of Tonbridge, Magpies and Chelmsford
Gosport Borough 3-1 Bath City
Hayes & Yeading United 1-0 Boreham Wood
Staines Town 3-1 Chelmsford City
Tonbridge Angels 1-1 Bromley
Whitehawk 3-0 Dorchester Town
Eastleigh crowned as Champs on Good Friday PM with a hard fought 2-1 win over Basingstoke in front of 1500+ - the youngest and I went, and the home side certainly enjoyed their day in the sun. Glad to see ‘stoke didn’t just roll over either – had a good go at upsetting the party but only managed a very late consolation goal.
PS M3 that PM was f&^%ing Sh&^e
CONFN
Oxford City 1-2 Hednesford Town - Oxford City not entirely out of danger – suffered three straight defeats, after a little flurry early in the month saw them climb out of the relegation zone. Probably need a couple more points to be certain – Histon or Stalybridge most likely to join Workington in the drop now.
Have been reading some odd things about OCFC’s financial issues which may yet turn all this upside down - travelling costs in this division can't help - maybe a restructure will see them switch south.
SOUTHP
Chesham United 0-1 Stourbridge
Frome Town 4-1 Burnham
Hungerford Town 0-4 Hemel Hempstead Town - Hemel clinch title – ‘Crusaders’ still left chasing a play-off place but both their main rivals for 5th spot picked up wins
SOUTH1C
AFC Hayes 1-0 Northwood
Aylesbury United 0-3 Kettering Town
Barton Rovers {SEVEN} 7-2 Chertsey Town
Daventry Town 0-0 Royston Town
Dunstable Town 3-1 Aylesbury
Egham Town 1-4 Uxbridge
Marlow 2-0 Beaconsfield SYCOB - goals from Bennet & Mealing
North Greenford United 3-0 Ashford Town (Middx) - effectively relegates Ashford (Mx) and leaves Chertsey on the brink
Slough Town 1-2 Rugby Town –
Rebels fluff their lines badly vs Play-Off rivals led at H/T – and having been in contention for top spot last weekend, they could slip out of the play-off places altogether if overtaken by Barton. Daventry stay top with a game in hand over long-term leaders Dunstable Town.St Ives Town 3-4 Chalfont St Peter
SOUTH1S&W
Bridgwater Town 0-0 Fleet Town
Godalming Town 1-2 Stratford Town
North Leigh 0-1 Clevedon Town
Swindon Supermarine 1-0 Merthyr Town
Thatcham Town 0-3 Taunton Town
Tiverton Town 2-0 Guildford City
Yate Town 1-0 Didcot Town
- grim fare all round in this division for our 'local' sides - BUT with Thatcham resigning and self-demoting to Wessex or Hellenic for 14/15 – looks as if Fleet Town could be safe – Guildford could probably drop back to CCLP – unless there are other reprieves in the offing?
CCLP
Played Friday eve
Farnham 1-1 Alton Town
Badshot Lea 0-0 Ash United
Bedfont Sports 3-3 Wembley
Chessington & Hook United 2-1 Colliers Wood United
Epsom & Ewell 0-2 South Park - recent trend between these two finally reversed - I think this might be Champions S.Parks' first win over E&E for a while
Hartley Wintney 2-4 Cove
Horley Town 1-2 Westfield
Mole Valley SCR 2-2 Croydon
Molesey 1-2 Camberley Town
Raynes Park Vale 2-2 Hanworth Villa
Windsor 5-0 Frimley Green – B&B Cup win evidently gave their league form a boost - looks as if they at least hang on in 6th.
CCL1
Banstead Athletic 0-4 Farleigh Rovers
Dorking 2-1 Sandhurst Town - 'Chicks' finally encounter a team capable of being more dump than they are - no idea where this was played - 'Fizzers' in an awful state - have seriously declined in the last two seasons - from some reports this comes form the very top - can't hold on to their management and the backroom staff, helpers etc have left in droves - very sad as are another great little club on our doorstep.
Eversley & California 2-2 AFC Croydon Athletic
South Kilburn 0-1 Bedfont & Feltham - something seriously untoward going on at this - by some accounts. Huge ruck at H/T - par for the course for SK if you believe the forum - B&F score 2nd half - Ref immediately blows for FT!
Spelthorne Sports 7-0 Staines Lammas
Worcester Park 2-0 Sheerwater
- Spelly & Knaphill promoted - E&C will join them with another point I think.
HELLP
Challenge Cup S-F
Ascot Utd 3-2 Wantage Town – bit of a fillip after the Yellamen’s title hopes evaporated with a defeat in the week v Ardley
Other S-F next w/e Ardley v Highworth - some of the more scurrilous posters on the Chat room are presuming should Chairman's faves Ardley get through, they'll be rewarded doubly with the honour of hosting the Final!
I suspect there may be some 'chain yanking' going on - but they do seem to have been well-favoured - particularly when it comes to getting home Cup draws.Premier
Abingdon Town 1-5 Ardley United
Binfield 1-0 Highworth Town – Moles on a run of 6 straight wins and 11 wins in 13 - have probably secured 5th spot which seemed a distant prospect a couple of months back.
Bracknell Town 1-0 Brimscombe & Thrupp – Robins now on a sequence of 8 wins from 9 – visit Binfield on Easter Monday.
Holyport 0-0 Cheltenham Saracens
HELL1W
Letcombe 1-2 Carterton - in spite of failing to climb off the bottom, reportedly Letcombe have been assuring visitors that they hope to be in Hellenic Div One next season. Beyond that its hard to see how they'll survive at this level as they are yet another well-run little outfit, with NO prospects of getting floodlights in their current location and probably not within a 10 mile radius - unless they can move in with Wantage.
HELL1E
Burnham Res 2-0 Didcot Town Res
Chinnor 0-1 AFC Hinksey
Headington Amateurs 2-0 Chalfont Wasps
Maidenhead United Res 1-1 Milton United
Penn & Tylers Green 4-3 Finchampstead
- Hinksey with wins in their three remaining games, could yet pinch the title from Milton - both likely to go up.
WESSP
Fawley 0-3 Whitchurch United
WESS1
Andover Town 1-1 Petersfield Town
Laverstock & Ford 4-0 Fleet Spurs
Pewsey Vale p-p Hayling United
United Services Portsmouth 2-1 Tadley Calleva
... having been thrown out on to the streets and told NOT to return (until 17:00h
) , youngest and I headed cross country up to the golden metropolis of MK. Sadly the near demise of Little Chef reduced our preferred brunch options but we found a chain of an American Burger outlet called 'Buddies' (actually think they are from Northampton) 
had taken over one of the sites. Pricey but OK and was located close to our 'double.First up:
SSM Div 2 - 13:00 Old Bradwell Utd 3-2 Wolverton Town - in the deepest ghettos of MK north of the Station - lovely surroundings actually apart from the busy railway line looming over the ground and the need to keep fishing wayward clearances out of the Canal with a net on the end of a gert big rod.
Comfy-ish clubhouse but the beer was rotten and the old codger took so long to produce a half of the stuff - I couldn't be ar$ed to take it back. Looks as if they were warming up a BBQ but most likely were going to have it after the Ressies match which wasn't due to start until 16:00h. So we daperted the leafy suburbs and headed further north to:SSM Div One Stony Stratford 0-3 Risborough Rangers - lovely ground, quiet setting but tricky to get to - as its only entrance is across/squeezing around the side of a Cricket Pitch; which was active this PM. We had to keep pausing as we made our way - as fast as decently possible - eg behind the bowlers arm. Doubt if the two clubs clash that often - only for the odd game April/May and July/August - but the football clubhouse is located somewhat bewilderingly back adjacent to the Cricket Pavilion - not quite as far as Holyport for those familiar but almost as tight for a half-time 'snifta'.
Fortunately some common sense prevailed and they'd arranged their Tea Interval to co-incide with Half-Time - so the dash to/from clubhouse was not inconvenience the Cricket. Clubhouse functional - no obvious hot food available - as I'd suspected - hence the need for a big meal aforehand.

I'll most probably try and wangle another 'double' ... to try and put me in good mood before the torrid despair-filled bilge-fest at M'stad on Tue night
Looking currently at either a local CCL morning KO then 'anywhere' or a 'new tick' @ SSM Div Two 12:00 Aston Clinton v Wolverton followed by a gentle trundle to a nearby 15:00 game in the Southern (Chalfont St P v Marlow) or Hellenic (Flackwell v H/I)
