END OF SEASON JOY? IT IS LIKELY NOT TO BE.

I am now overloaded and fed up with Foxes' stuff, I still think hunting is a good idea, even if it only gives me an excuse for a bevvie on Boxing Day at the local pub. And jodhpurs are a good thing too.

Now concentrate! There are  proper fixtures on tonight including:

Vanarama National League pay offs: semi-final
Dover Athletic v Forest Green Rovers 1st leg. Forest Green have just beaten Dover 1-0 in a standard league game in Kent, with both teams making loads of changes to team selection knowing that the play off was iminent.

In the National League NORTH Play-offs semi-finals 1st legs:
Boston Utd (once a Football League club) v North Ferriby Utd and Harrogate Town v AFC Fylde.
In the SOUTH:
Whitehawk v Ebbsfleet Utd and Truro City v Maidstone Utd (Once a Football League Club).

Promotion beckons those who are brave.

Another ex-Football League Club, reformed after a collapse in 2014,  is Hereford United who have just won their Midland League Championship beating Coventry Sphinx 4-0. The club has just earned a place in the League Cup Final after beating Stourport Swifts. That is not the end of it.
The Bulls recently won 5-1 in the Herefordshire County Cup Final v Westfield and then there is the small matter of the FA Vase Final at Wembley v Morpeth on National Finals Day, May 22nd. They hope 20,000 fans will be making the journey east.
Since the last Vase semi-final second leg tie against Salisbury on March 19th, the Bulls have played 16 times. Games have been coming thick and fast.

Don't you just love Non-League football? If you happened to go anywhere near Newcastle Benfield near the anniversary of William Shakespeare's death and had either a well known saying to quote, Elizabethan dress or a copy of one of the Bard's works you would have saved £6 entry fee.

Apparently the club which has endured a "winter of discontent" and is slumming it at the wrong end of the Northern League. Promotion? It is likely not to be.
