Southern Counties East League-Division One

CROYDON 6 (Asafu 2 25 87 Cormack 4 Barton 8 Ward 15)

HALLS ATHLETIC 0

Att 266

Entry £7

Programme £2

In so many ways it was obvious that this was the final SCEFL Hop. The main thing was the teams we were visiting seemed to consist of clubs relegated into the league being paired with others whose levels of enthusiasm at hosting were, at best lukewarm. As organisers you manage to the red lines, and hope for best.

Notts Saturday Senior Cup First Round

STAPLEFORD TOWN 3 (Harrison 23 Phillips 48 Hughes 87)

DUNKIRK 2 (Walsh 68 Wilson 81)

Att 78

In the nicest possible way it was a shame this game was taking place. Two weeks earlier the game had been abandoned, due to a serious injury to Stapleford defender Mitchell Robinson, but I happened to be working in Nottingham on the day of this re-arranged tie. Whatever the opposite of serendipity is- this was it!

Western League Division One

STURMINSTER NEWTON UNITED 5 (Lane-Leney 19 52 Bevis 20 57 Hall 54)

WELLS CITY 2 (Wright 13p Taylor 44)

Att 144

Entry £8

Programme £2

In so many ways a visit to Barnett’s Field left like tidying up loose ends. You may recall I’d visited this corner of Dorset to visit Sturminster Newton’s former home, the War Memorial Recreation Park 10 years ago. That was to see a game in the now sadly defunct Blackmore Vale Sunday League, and in the days when I was a fairly regular visitor here, that league never failed to provide me with interesting games to go and see.

11:00 West Wales Premier League

GARDEN VILLAGE 1 (Arnold 61)

CK SWISS VALLEY 1 (James 84)

Caul sent off (2nd booking) 87

Att 136

14:30 (but brought forward to 14:15)

West Wales Premier League

WEST END 1 (Griffiths 36)

Brain sent off 59 (dangerous play)

PENLAN 4 (Lorey 17 Jenkins 75p Otten 90 T Jenkins 90+4)

Charles sent off 59 (dangerous play)

Att 84

Entry & Programme at each game £5

It was (for now) the final day of the West Wales Premier League Hop- but we knew we had a problem, or more accurately two. The first issue was that we at GroundhopUK knew that both Garden Village and West End had recent history in the Welsh League, and given the crowd we’d attracted on the Saturday there was a fair chance that many of them would have visited the Sunday selection before and so headed for home.

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.

West Wales Premier League

LLANGENNECH 2 (Caffrey 9 Rumbelow 36)

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

Programme £2

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)

Att 401

Entry £3

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.
