BEND IT LIKE BAUCKHAM

Since Hepworth United FC is in the business of raising a new club house, I found this marvellous report of a "small town" club in Hampshire that has many similar interests to us. The author of this web link clearly has non-non-league at heart.

David Bauckham (could be his real name) takes excellent photographs and celebrates the "little" clubs, so you will find his "blog" stimulating.

I shall meet him tomorrow at the Merchant Taylors' School in Northwood (near Watford) as I watch the Old Carthusians play the Old Reptonians in the final of the Arthur Dunn Cup. I shall not bang on about the OCs, if you are a regular reader then they will be familiar to you, but the ORs are worth a mention, Repton School is the establishment that nutured the wonderful C.B. Fry. If you don't know who he is then shame on you.

He is so famous, he even has his own cigarette card. An FA Cup finalist 1902.
The school also produced Will Hughes, the Derby County midfielder.

I shall not have time to write the blog tomorrow, I shall be 7 hours on the motorway when I could have been watching Grimsby Borough v Penistone Church in the next play off to make the step up in the Toolstation NCELeague. Ho hum.

Tour de Yorkshire on Sunday's leg passing through the Cotes de Carle before the finale at Fox Valley, Stocksbridge.
