Boston United 0-1 FC Halifax Town (National League) A club I have frequented plenty in recent seasons is Boston United, who opened their National League campaign at the weekend with a 3-2 win at Aldershot. Graham Coughlan has a much changed team from the one that did well to survive relegation during the last campaign, their successful return to level five of the pyramid, they do have injuries to several key players but have acquired smartly in the summer window, and hope to

Pride Of The County
Alfreton Town 0-0 Buxton (Derbyshire Senior Cup Final) *4-3 pens I've just noticed the Derbyshire FA twitter account has blocked me, probably for something I said last year after they sold out of Senior Cup Final tickets at Derby County's 33,000 capacity Pride Park for a match between Buxton & Heanor that had little more than 1,000 in attendance on the night. No mistakes tonight, tickets available online right up until kick off in Chesterfield. At least they listened to my a

Mint Imperial
King's Lynn Town 0-0 Chorley (National League North) I fancied paying the Linnets a visit as it's been a while since I've visited the Walks and although it's a 2 hour journey over 70 odd miles it's often a nice relaxing commute to Norfolk down the single lane carriageways, especially when the suns out as it is today. I'm heading East from Nottingham at 11:30am to get to King's Lynn a good hour and half before kick off. Chorley their opponents today are above Lynn in the tabl

Shade of Excellence
Boston United 1-2 Eastleigh (National League) Boston United have only once before played against Eastleigh. Earlier this season when optimism was high, the newly promoted Pilgrims led on the road against the ten men Spitfires through a first half Sam Osborne goal, only to concede a 95th minute penalty converted by Chris Maguire which resulted in a 1-1 draw. The Hampshire based outfit are making the 360 mile round trip today along with 40 fans as they bid to push themselves t
