Hucknall Town are in the same league as Hinckley, one step bel Gresley. When Hinckley first moved into the UCL I had to double check, but they’re the same club that was once in the Conference North! Not even a phoenix club, just absolutely plummeted in the last decade plus.

They took voluntary relegation/demotion down to Step 7 from Step 4. But yeah it's the same club. Had some financial problems and decided to go at a level where players didn't necessarily want money.

Ricky Miller, once of Peterborough, bagged an injury time hat-trick for Grantham last night to give them their first win at home in nearly two years.

Craig westcarr is on a wedge!

Belper vs Hinckley is off tomorrow, pitch has apparently taken a lot of water on, does anyone around there know how bad it’s been? Leicestershire just seems to be strong wind and slightly-higher-than-average rain.

Belper is fully under water!

 Yeah that was a development after my post! Seems like volunteers have done well on the clean-up operation though!

Off to St Ives this afternoon to hopefully see Coalville pick up their first away win of 2022.

[Tuna]

Off to watch Grantham Town play Witton Albion, it's win or bust and a massive six pointer if there is any hope of avoiding the drop!

[spacemunky]

Good win today at Woking.

 

I think Burchnall has finally figured out that we're a better team with Eli Sam in the starting lineup.

 

Back in a playoff position.

5-1 win for Hinckley today. Kimberly also win however meaning Hinckley remain top by three points, with Kimberly having a game in hand.

Lost 2-3 from 2-0 up...3 goals from corners, you couldn't make it up, was hoping for some respite from watching a team concede from corners 

 

Witton had the wind behind them second half and took full advantage, Grantham goal kicks weren't reaching the half way line, Miller went off injured and they lost all momentum.

 

Pretty well down now, really need to be placed in the Midlands division for next season instead of the Eastern division which is a tougher league.

Kidderminster lose 2-1 at bottom club Farsley Celtic.

Went to cville St Ives yesterday

 

 

Finally an away win. 

 

Should have scored a few more as St Ives try and play like Man City.

Timmy was unlucky with his volley that struck the post and he should've had a penalty first half.

 

Their first goal was poor from our perspective, but the free kick was a belter. Nice to win away, on a 3G pitch and great to see Kalern back in the squad.

 

Hope we can kick on now away from home and pick up 3 points at Biggleswade.

12 straight wins now and they're the highest scorers across the top 10 divisions of the football pyramid.

Can’t say they’ve not been good value to watch this season!  Extraordinarily you could argue they aren’t even favourites for title, as mentioned Kimberly are three points behind with a game in hand, and Hinckley have to play all five of the other teams that make up the top six whereas Kimberly only have to play us and Hucknall. That game against Kimberly could ultimately be the deciding factor should they still be level heading into it!

Some big results in Southern Central. Church ripped up the form book to beat Rushall. Nuneaton continued their good form 

[spacemunky]

Good first half.

 

Horrendous second.

Sadly our good run ended Tuesday in a poor performance against Redditch United, Redditch scored in the first 4 minutes which knocked the stuffing out of us and ruined a game plan. First goal we've conceded in seven. General look and response from fans was that the team looked tired after exhausting perfomance against Bromsgrove Sporting on Saturday. Big game against Stourbridge coming up our last home game for a month, mind our home form is the worst in the league. We have scored at home in the last four and only won three at home all season. A big tribute to Ukrane at the Boro saturday with the team going to wear Ukrainan colours with the usual blue and white strip shirts but yellow shorts. Plus yellow and blue ballons to be let off into the sky pre match.

Coalville vs Biggleswade off, waterlogged pitch apparently 

[isaidno]

Dover relegated. Must be a record for earliest relegation.

Been a lot of suspicions about Biggleswade. Apparently they have been struggling to get a team together.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if there trying it on, they love calling a game off.
 

Called it at 9.30 as well before the match ref arrived, no idea if the match ref still has to come and check the pitch anyway ?
