SOME ARE UP AND SOME ARE DOWN

It is early April and many teams have the end of the season in sight. Some don't. With many postponements due to weather, clubs all over the country are having to play three times a week. If your club happens to have had a good cup run, then matters have got even more stressed.

Hepworth United FC in the Huddersfield and District League play their Barlow Cup final at the Galpharm (Huddersfield Town FC) on Monday 11th at 7pm. This is just one extra match to add to the 10 league games remaining before the club knows whether they are going to do the double.

The weather in the Pennines is shocking at the moment and the chances of getting these outstanding matches played is slim. At present hail is falling and lying on the ground like snow.

Think about the Premier run in and Leicester's excitement or the concerns of clubs like Bolton, who are written off in their division already. The end of the season brings cheers and tears.

In the Vanarama National League, Cheltenham head it, Forest Green, Grimsby, Dover and Tranmere are in the play offs.

For York and Dagenham in the Football League, it looks like the "Non League Paper" for them next season.

Scanning the Non League paper, I have some thoughts for New Mills in the Evo-Stick Northern PL Division One South and Bashley in the Evo-Stick Division One South and West, who have mustered 2 points all season.

New Mills, obviously, have not won a game and have conceded 136 goals scoring only 21. With a 0-9 result on Saturday, they will be glad that they only have seven games left.

Bashley have similarly drawn twice and letting in 186 goals scoring 12 with only 3 left.

In the Abacus Lighting Central Midlands League, Welbeck Welfare are -2 points in total winning one match all season and letting in 172 goals, scoring 16 in 23 games so far. In the Taylor's West Riding County Amateur league  (Premier), Yorskhire based Hunsworth have gathered one point and also conceded 9 on Saturday, 162 all in this season. It has been a long 2015-16 for some of our little clubs.
