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

Hitchin Town 0-3 Barnet (Friendly) Back in the day, July 1st meant back to pre-season, after putting the pounds on from your lad weekends in Ayia Napa & Magaluf, you were expected to be in pretty bad shape all hungover but bronzed “bring trainers only” was usually the cry for the return to training, but not these days, the era of fitness fanatics and football throughout the calendar year, clubs have been back two or three weeks already, and with that a game already, to embrac

England 1-3 Senegal (Friendly) The last time I watched England, ten months ago, Lee Carsley was taking temporary charge of his first game...

Leicester City 4-2 West Ham United  (Women’s Super League) I’m scratching around for matches and this could be the last (paid) of the season for me, I’m falling short of a hundred games since last summer (just the 93 watched in venue) but I’m ready for my break, a week in Dubai awaits as the English game draws near to a close. It’s the last weekend of the WSL season, and ironically the first Women’s Super League match I’ve been to in a year. Leicester City are second bottom b

Alfreton Town 3-2 Buxton  (National League North) I’ve been here before. A touch of déjà vu? Less than a week ago, Alfreton secured the...

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

Boston United 1-0 Altrincham (National League) It's amazing to think Boston United have won more points (26) in their last thirteen...

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
