Still got weeks to go; the FA Cup Final
is on May 30th. I know that because a very close relation
of mine chose the date for her wedding. Hmm!
These next weeks are really interesting
for the non-league fan. I already know that Grimsby Town FC, with a
friend's niece's boyfriend, Carl Magnay playing, assuming he is fit,
well and good enough, are meeting Bristol Rovers (remember them??) in
the Vanarama Conference Play Off Final at Wembley on the 17th
May. I'm going to keep the friend happy and off the ale. The prize?
Football League status!
The Evo-Stick Northern Premier Division
Play Off Final saw Curzon Athletic beat Ilkeston 1-0, there was the
Marie Curie Irish Cup with Glentoran beating Portadown 1-0, the game
radiated class apparently.
The Welsh Cup went to The New Saints FC
2-0 beating Newtown, and the FA Women's Premier League Cup Final was
won by Charlton 4-2 on pens beating Sheffield FC after a 0-0 draw.
Exciting!
Tonight the Evo-Stick Southern Premier
Play Off Final takes place with Truro City meeting St Neots Town.
There are also regional play-offs involving Bedworth v Barton,
Stratford Town v Larkhall Athletic (wasn't that a location for a BBC
period drama?) It doesn't get much bigger than that in Evo-Stick
world. I shall be glued to the internet awaiting results. Winners
move up a tier.
The FA Vase is awaiting Glossop NE and
North Shields on Saturday, at Wembley also, while the two regional
Vanarama Conference play offs are Chorley v Guiseley and Boreham Wood
v Whitehawk. The prize here is a place for the winners in the 5th
tier, the Conference Premier. They join league winners in the north,
Barrow AFC, for whom ex-Repton School and ISFA player Jonny Gorman
appears on their squad list, and Bromley FC in the south.
