Waldron’s On Fire
Rushall Olympic 5-0 Chorley (National League North) I’m legging it to my car parked a good 500m from the Bescot Stadium but I’m out of breath by half way. I’m walking the last bits coughing up all sorts, this last year has been unkind to me. Now touching 45 I’m no longer playing football, not even five-a-side and other than dog walking the only exercise I get these days is a few stretches whilst singing in the shower. My wife keeps telling me I need to join a gym. I’m frantic

Room At The Inn
Tiverton Town 2-4 Yeovil Town (Friendly) I’m in the West Country for a cricket game on Saturday so thought I would tie my trip in with a visit to Tiverton Town on Friday night, staying over at a B&B nearby it means I’ll be fresh for my journey to Somerset in the morning and I won’t be getting up at 5am. It’s pissing down in Nottingham, I’ve checked Twitter to see if the pitch is ok ahead of travel and no signs of postponement, so off I set at 1pm thinking I should be at the

Fairytale Ending?
Peterborough Sports 2-1 Southport (National League North) Formed in 1908 as Brotherhoods Engineering Works it wasn’t until 2001 (after a brief affair as Bearings Direct) did the name Peterborough Sports emerge from a puff of smoke fit for an Aladdin’s lamp of three very ambitious wishes… Wish one was to get out of the Peterborough & District league where their predecessors had stood as amateurs since 1925, which the newly named representatives did successfully after winning
