Carmarthenshire League-Premier Division

BURRY PORT 0

Brown sent off 72 (handling outside of box)

KIDWELLY TOWN 2 (Boucher 86 Bessent 90+1)

Att 203

Entry & Programme £3

The final game of the day saw the West Wales Hop do something I didn’t think we’d ever do, and that is head back to the Carmarthenshire League. We’d used the league are a replacement for the the hugely successful Ceredigion Hops, but our time with them was nowhere near as succcessful, not least because we had real issues getting clubs to be away teams. It all culminated in the 2018 Hop that contained Swansea City’s youth team, the Bridgend Sunday League and a trip to Butetown in Cardiff but absolutely no games in Carmarthenshire.

L Griffiths sent off 90+2 (serious foul play)

Benjamin sent off 90+2 (serious foul play)

DAFEN WELFARE 2 (Brown 16 Williams 63)

Att 224

Entry £3

Saturday on the West Wales Premier Hop was slightly odd, in the sense that the only game in the league was this one, in the pretty village of Llangennech.

West Lancashire League Premier Division

BURSCOUGH RICHMOND 2 (Carberry 79 Avis 90)

LOSTOCK ST GERARDS 1 (Sarda 34)

Att 407

Sunday’s final hop game saw us in Burscough’s environs- and for those not in the know the town is pronounced Burrs-Coe. The oddity of the piece was that there was and is a connection between Burscough and GroundhopUK- and its to be found in Anglesey!

TURTON (Prudnikov 56 Mason 88)

From Croston we headed towards the West Lancs Railway, these days a steam heritage line, and once the means of transporting bricks from the village of Hesketh Bank to the rest of the world.

MYNYDD ISA 3 (Mendonza 35 Beck 64 Lambert 64)

ST ASAPH CITY 0

D Hayes sent off 69 (2nd booking)

Att 90

Entry £3

Programme- online

I found myself in North Wales for work but as ever it really wasn’t any trial me being there- assuming we forget about the 5 hour drive! As ever I scanned the fixtures to find something on my way home afterwards and spotted a club I’d wanted to visit for a while- 20 years to be exact!

Midland League Division Two

CADBURY ATHLETIC 2 (Malley 55p Mudie 66)

BOLDMERE SPORTS & SOCIAL FALCONS 2 (Wilson 8 Maddocks 75og)

Att 260 at Birmingham Moseley RUFC

Free Entry

Programme £2

It doesn’t take too much empathy to understand Cadbury Athletic’s problem. Their home is the utterly sublime Cadbury Recreation Ground in Bournville, a ground that every self-respecting football ground enthusiast ought to visit, but one they’ll never be able to improve so they could play Pyramid Football there. So every time they’ve been able to progress they’re had to groundshare.

LOUTH TOWN 3 (Lidgard 32 Pennell 59 Jacklin 76)

APPLEBY FRODINGHAM 2 (J Chapman 61 Fraiwald 75p)

Att 381

Entry £5

Programme £2

Teamsheet 50p

A lot changed between Skegness and Louth, and I’m all too aware that Louth Town play in Saltfordby, around 7 miles from Louth! The crucial change was the league we were watching, with us close to complete for the United Counties League (of those clubs who want to host) we’ll be switching the opening weekend event next year to the Northern Counties East.

Hallaci penalty saved 48

SHIREBROOK TOWN 0

Att 286

Entry £5

So there I was sat on the GroundhopUK coach with little idea where we were! I knew we were going to be watching Grace Dieu but it was only when we reached Thringstone that the penny droppped.

AW FC 1 (Sheppard 37)

GREAT MISSENDEN 3 (Smith 18 73 Stephenson 59)

Att 11 at St John’s Sports & Social, Stone

Free Entry

If you drive on the A418 between Thame and Aylesbury then inevitably you’ll pass through the pretty village of Stone. It’s one of those places that thousands of people drive through giving the place barely a thought. But there is plenty to enthuse….

Witney & District League Hughes Supplementary Cup Semi-Final

ASTON RESERVES 3 (Harper 18 Wain 53 Pawar 60og)

SHERBORNE HARRIERS 0

Att 30 at Stanton Harcourt Cricket Ground

Free Entry

I know I’ve said it before, but I do think every football fan ought to go and watch the Sherborne Harriers at least once. I was honoured to take 120 or so hoppers there during the days of the Witney Hop and the day turned into something far more than a fundraiser, important though that is at grassroots.
