Natfiser Super League

Part 1

Summary
Bavingtor began the season with the opening game on Friday Football Fever, in a relatively close contest against minor rivals Butterfield Rovers. A double for Gary Carr sealed the deal, with Richard Birmingham scoring between those goals. The first red card of the season also came late on when William Smith cynically fouled Derek Crompton to stop a breakaway that looked set to make it 3-1 in injury time. In the matchday of many debuts, Kloro McManus certainly made an impressive one for Binclestead Wood. A centreback with a great penalty taking ability, he had the chance to prove it in the 91st minute, and prove it he did, to equalise against Garden City in a 2-2 draw. Steven Cutler scored an injury time penalty too as Vale started off with a win over Hadford Hill. A matchup between Carston Green and Gann ensured at least one newly promoted side would get some points, and Carston Green took 3 points. Capton Club got no points on their return, but the 2-0 loss to Langmere Green Rovers certainly wasn’t a thrashing some predicted. Waldster meanwhile went 3-0 up within 33 minutes against Marthorpe City, but the visitors dug in deep, and salvaged a draw in what was arguably the most entertaining game of the matchday.

Matchday 2, and in an early season derby between St Astons City and Waldster, it was a thriller at the end. In the 90th minute, Peter Butland met the cross of Christopher Ace with a great header, to give the hosts the lead with just injury time to go. Waldster threw everything forward to get an equaliser, but were hit on the counter, and Ásvarður Bergmundursson made it a 2-0 win. Langmere Green Rovers pressed their early season credentials with a well worked 1-4 win over Garden City, Kadek Ahlberg’s volley from just outside the box a spectacular way to score his first goal for the club. Bavingtor also made it 6 points so far, winning 2-4 at Hadford Hill. Steven Hall on his home return to Highland Road got on the scoresheet, but so too did the man he replaced, Robert Cooper, now in the white of Bavingtor. No celebrations however from Cooper, who’d spent 9 years at Highland Road. Also on 6 points are Vale, who made a newly promoted Capton Club side look rather ordinary in their fans first home Super League game since 34AU. Marthorpe City’s 2-0 win over Carston Green was most notably for Danny Conetta’s early contender for worst tackle of the season, catching Thomas Stratford on the knee with a lunging challenge for a bouncing ball, not even the away fans could argue against a red card there.

30 goals in Matchday 3 meant it was a feast for attacking players. 7 goals in a western matchup between Carston Green and St Astons City. Michael Rossi got 2 for the hosts, one with each foot, but despite his efforts for a hat-trick, him and his sides efforts were in vain, falling to a 3-4 loss in the end. Aston Lombardi succeeded however in scoring a hat-trick, as holders Bavingtor put Capton Club to the sword in a 4-2 win, only defensive errors at the end of the first half gave Capton Club a chance, before Jonathan Goldstone’s late insurance goal for the hosts. Bavingtor stay second, as Sedna Giunta ensured a win for Langmere Green Rovers, in a game where Gann worked them hard for that win. Also joining the 4 goals scored this matchday club were Loxthorpe Rovers. They had all 4 before the hour mark, and they made Kings Lunsel look very ordinary, the 2 goals the visitors scored flattering them. Vale also fall to a first loss at the hands of a double by Colin Henderson, as Garden City belatedly get their season up and firing.

High scoring games were at a bit more of a premium in Matchday 4, but there were some interesting results. Marthorpe City were hoping to be the ones to end Langmere Green Rovers perfect start, but an early second half goal by Kadek Ahlberg, pouncing on a blocked Adrian Jones shot, made it 12 points from 4 for the visitors. In fact of the 5 unbeaten sides going into this matchday, only Langmere Green Rovers stayed unbeaten. Super League holders Bavingtor played a very entertaining game in Garden City, and it was Conor Jacques in the final minute with a headed effort that gave the hosts a 3-2 win, as the home side try to kick on their season. Binclestead Wood lost 1-0 in St Astons City, after Ásvarður Bergmundursson had his shot spilled over the line by Toby Curry, an uncharacteristic error by the Binclestead Wood goalkeeper. Loxthorpe Rovers were stronger than Waldster, but Richard Doughty’s tap in in the 22nd minute, and some heroic defending meant Waldster grabbed 3 points out of nowhere. And Apsbrooke fell to a surprise home loss to Carston Green, as the visitors seemed to get their attack ticking over nicely. Gann would get their first point, holding nearby Vale to a 2-2 draw, both John McLean and Urusov Luka Ivanovich getting a double for their respective sides. Finally, Capton Club and Butterfield Rovers gained their first point in a goalless draw against each other, but with the quality of football on display, it doesn’t look like points will flow easily for either of the sides.

Matchday 5, and Langmere Green Rovers keep up the perfect record. It looked like for most of the game St Astons City would hold on for a great away point, but with mere minutes to go, a quick one two between Kadek Ahlberg and Sedna Giunta set the former up to slot the ball past Pearce Weaver, to ensure another victory for the home side. Hadford Hill were in the mood for goals, and but a half dozen past a Capton Club defence all out at sea in that match. Steven Hall’s spectacular 30 metre effort to finish off the scoring was the pick of the goals, and an early goal of the season contender. Binclestead Wood also put in an impressive display, their 3-0 win over Apsbrooke certainly not flattering the home side, in a controlled display. Butterfield Rovers surprised plenty with their first win of the season over Garden City. Chances were few at either end, but Karl Jones drilled shot from just outside the box found its way through a crowd of players and into the bottom corner of the net. Also surprising were Carston Green, showing off their good start with a one goal win over Loxthorpe Rovers. Loxthorpe Rovers meanwhile, seem to be able to do everything but score in recent games. Waldster and Kings Lunsel haven’t made great starts, and the 1-1 draw they played out puts some pressure on both sides at this early stage.

5 games down, and Langmere Green Rovers have planted their flag at the top of the hill as the team to beat. They’ve been worked hard for those 5 wins, but always found an answer so far. Binclestead Wood have also impressed for the most part to lie 2nd now. Bavingtor have 10 points in 3rd, but critics argue they’ve had a relatively easy run of fixtures so far. St Astons City can include a derby win en rotue to an early 4th, and Carston Green have hit the ground running after promotion, to be 5th now. At the wrong end of the table, it’s not been a good start for Butterfield Rovers, win over Garden City aside, as they lie 14th. Gann in 15th are just lacking that final push to get a win, having performed valiantly against some tough opponents. Sadly Capton Club in bottom place already seem to be confirming some pre-season expectations that they’re out of their depth.

Lower League Roundup
Nailwood Mills quiet confidence after promotion looks to be showing, as they lead the Challenge League after 5 games. Could they be on course for a first ever top flight appearance? Abotts Lunsel also join them in the promotion zone on 13 points. A good return to the Challenge League sees Henhaven Islanders 3rd at this stage, heading up the more likely promotion contenders of Batchingtonwood Rovers, Stanmorn and Havermilly. At the wrong end of the table, North Mayshop are slow to get away, along with Narrock Wood United and Cartswood. None of those are newly promoted, showing how well those sides have adapted to the second tier.

The National League Division 1 has no runaway leaders yet, as Redthwaite Rangers narrowly lead recently relegated Slaton on goal difference. Boll Lake Mariners lie 3rd in their immediate bid to return to the Challenge League, with predicted promotion contenders Claychester 4th, joined by Woodbrook and Langpool Capton in the playoff spots. Again none of the newly promoted sides lie in the bottom 3, it’s currently Johns Park, Buchraston and Locksmith-on-Carron in relegation danger in this early stage.

The National League Division 2 begins with another unpredictable start. Calhead Rangers, having narrowly avoided relegation, make the perfect start, leading Magic Roundabout at this stage. Old Marthorpe in 3rd were one of the favourites to go up, having just been relegated, but Oxwich Wood in 4th are making a great start upon returning to the league. Highhadford and Caffich missed out on playoff promotion last season, and occupy those spots now. Sandeston Rangers look a threat to drop straight back into non-league football, joining them in the drop zone after a slow start are Ellerstone United and Frostbrook Rovers.

Round 1, and the 32 league sides from the third and fourth tier join 32 non-league sides, all looking for a ticket to Round 2, where the big teams enter. Upsets are always considered a part of this round, but there were just 2 non-league upsets over league opposition. Henhaven Beachside of the Eastern Alliance D1 showed great grit and determination to beat third tier Woodbrook 1-0, an upset over two tiers. Hillsight Bridge more than covered the one division gap to Captonbridge Rovers in a convincing 2-0 win. Sixth tier sides Loxthorpe Green and Ifleii got home wins over fifth tier FC North Orbital and Flawthorpe respectively. And fourth tier Frostbrook Rovers got an extra time upset over nearby Ashland Common of the division above them. Lowest ranked side left Great Fuzzbrooke Wood did well to take Henhaven Palace to extra time, but ultimately lost 1-2. For those looking for emplahtic victories, Alstone got all 4 of their goals in the first half vs Presmoor Bridge Railway, a long and unenjoyable away day for the visiting non-league side. The two aforementioned sixth tier (Alliance D2) sides, will be the lowest ranked sides entering the draw for Round 2, with a potential tie against a Super League side.

Natfiser Super League

Part 2

Summary
Matchday 6, and Langmere Green Rovers finally failed to win, in a game that had everything. A back and forth between Apsbrooke and Langmere Green Rovers saw the hosts score, and then the visitors equalise a total of 4 times in a 4-4 draw. Sedna Giunta’s long range effort to score his second to make it 3-3 was the pick of the goals. In the 93rd minute, Giunta scored an equaliser, a low driven shot. His celebration was considered too exuberant, having slid on his knees through a corner flag, breaking it, in front of the away fans. The referee showed him a second yellow and a red, a decision considered farcical by many, and leading to some fierce comments in the press. Sedna Giunta wasn’t the only player to score a hat trick this matchday, a 14 minute flurry saw John McLean fire Gann to a 4-1 victory over Butterfield Rovers. Moving up to 2nd are St Astons City, courtesy of an early goal by Christopher Ace vs Waldster. 3rd, and making a flying return to the top flight are Carston Green. Young defensive midfielder William Dickinson headed in an injury time winner at Waldster. His shirt off and jump into the crowd was a slightly more justified yellow card, thankfully not a second yellow. Other games saw Marthorpe City show their potential, with a 1-0 win over Bavingtor thanks to Victor Collomb’s skilful turn and shot on the edge of the box. Garden City defeated Hadford Hill, in part due to both Steven Hall and Mark Paul failing to convert from the spot. Capton Club also equalised late on to get a point at Kings Lunsel, adding to the disappointing start for the hosts.

Matchday 7 and eyes were on Seafront Stadium as Langmere Green Rovers took on fierce rivals Loxthorpe Rovers. An early double from home favourite Adrian Jones meant that Langmere Green Rovers never look truly threatened by their rivals, as they further extended their grip on the top spot. The team who were 2nd going into this matchday, St Astons City, came crashing down against Bavingtor. Outclassed for most of the game, a late blunder by David Robb to turn a cross into his own net, and Robert Cooper’s volley made it a 5-1 thrashing, and sent Bavingtor up to 2nd. Wins were hard to come by, with 5 of the 8 games a draw, Apsbrooke the only other side to win, against Vale. Garden City had a miraculous draw. Already down to 10 men in the 50th minute with Sachin Gupta rash challenge on Russell Lord warranting a red, with 4 minutes to go Fol Kacceo missed the ball and took out George Bennett outside the area. No subs left, and with Barry Branford now in goal, the 9 men visitors somehow clung on to a goalless draw at Capton Club, Branford making a good save even by goalkeeper standards in the 92nd minute to deny George Bennett.

Matchday 8 saw a thrilling derby game in Marthorpe City. Gary Smith didn’t even need 2 minutes before slotting home the opening goal for Hadford Hill, before Steven Hall made it 0-2 after 20 minutes. Marthorpe City got one back off of the deflection by Reg Cupit that took the ball past his keeper Garry Bowles. Shortly after the break, Andrew Thomas played in Victor Collomb for the equaliser. In injury time, a long ball by Brannigan Burley found Thomas Stratford, who’s composed finish sent the home crowd into frenzied delight as they defeated their rivals. Waldster lie in the relegation zone, but Andrew Lowe certainly brought himself more time as his side held Langmere Green Rovers to a 2-2 draw, and the home team certainly showed flashes of great play to get that result. Of the chasing pack, Bavingtor capitalised, breaking down a tough Apsbrooke side with a single goal to win on their travels. 41 seconds was all it took for Buburhunak Zinaurtherinthen to score in Carston Green, as Binclestead Wood leapt them for 3rd place. Kings Lunsel drew for a 5th time in 8 games, blowing a 2-0 lead against Garden City, and Ray Socorro is under a lot of pressure to turn things around quickly.

Matchday 9 sees Langmere Green Rovers lose their first game of the season, the last of the undefeated streaks coming to an end. Whilst Carston Green had started very well, few saw them coming away from Seafront Stadium with 3 points. But 2 early goals, sandwiching a missed penalty by Adrian Jones were matched by great determination at the back in the final minutes to hold on to a 1-2 lead. Elsewhere, an early Steven Hall penalty was enough for Hadford Hill to defeat rivals St Astons City, even with Matthew Andrews being sent off for a second bookable offence. Giordano Limene had an outstanding game, scoring all the goals as Garden City took down Gann 4-0 in a brilliant display. Bavingtor fought well to win against Loxthorpe Rovers, and to move to just a point behind Langmere Green Rovers at the top. A win for Binclestead Wood also keeps them well in the title chase at this stage, and leaves their opponents Kings Lunsel still in a difficult spot. Waldster also got a useful win at Vale, easing some of their worries after not getting many points so far.

Matchday 10 and the first sacking of the season has come. After Kings Lunsel could only draw against Gann, Ray Socorro from Tikariot has been dismissed, with Kings Lunsel now all the way down in the relegation zone. Alan Young will take over in his place, with a Flavovespia Gold Cup game and then a league game against one of his former employers, Langmere Green Rovers to start his time at Kings Lunsel. The leaders had a tough fixture at Binclestead Wood, and it was heading for a 1-1 draw until Kadek Ahlberg steered in Michael Hornby’s cross into the net. Bavingtor keep up the chase with an even later winning goal of their own. With practically the last kick of the game, Robert Cooper scored with a brilliant curling 25 metre free kick, to the dismay of the home Waldster crowd. Also getting in on the action with late winners was Vale. Robert Simmon’s goal from only a few metres out wasn’t a goal of the season contender, but it was a great 3 points for the visitors over a Carston Green side who’d started this season very well. 2 other teams in contention for the title, Marthorpe City and Garden City played out an entertaining 2-2 draw, Peter Smith’s first time long range effort just before half time the pick of the goals. At the wrong end of the table, Capton Club are still waiting for their first win. They were looking decent against St Astons City, but a five minute calamity saw them concede 3, in their 4-2 loss.

10 games in, and it’s Langmere Green Rovers top, but only a point above holders Bavingtor now. The title race has closed up, with Langmere Green Rovers not running away as they seemed to be threatening to do. A gap has appeared from 2nd to 3rd, where the IFCF spots look hotly contested. Binclestead Wood have impressed to go to 3rd, ahead of Marthorpe City and Garden City for whom IFCF qualification should be the goal. Carston Green and St Astons City lie just outside those spots, the former doing brilliantly to be at that position 10 games in, and St Astons City sowing the seeds of recovery after last season. At the other end of the table, it’s a bit of a shock to see Kings Lunsel in the Bottom 3. They should recover, but nothing can be taken for granted. Butterfield Rovers only have 1 win and are set for a relegation fight, but it’s one more win than Capton Club who seem on course to go straight back down.

Lower League Roundup
Pre season favourites to go up Stanmorn have reached the top of the Challenge League, thanks to a strong goal difference. 2nd now, and hoping for a first ever top flight appearance are Nailwood Mills, with a fair few forgetting they’re a newly promoted side based on their performances. Batchingtonwood Rovers, Abbots Lunsel and Havermilly, the 3 losing playoff sides from last season, are joined by recently relegated South Maishop in the playoff spots. Rumlington Rovers remain bottom, with North Mayshop and Guildwell Football joining them in danger of a trip to the third tier.

In the National League Division 1, Claychester now lead, followed by Slaton. They both have a small gap to Woodbrook in 3rd. Boll Lake Mariners are 4th, living up to their billing as early promotion contenders. Redthwaite Rangers are 5th, and Ashland Common are a stunning 6th, having no troubles despite 2 consecutive promotions. However Alstone and Westwood are struggling after promotion, joined by Locksmith-on-Carron in the relegation zone.

Old Marthorpe lead in the National League Division 2, looking to bounce straight back after relegation. Calhead Rangers still sit in the automatic promotion zone, a great turnaround after last season. Highhadford and Magic Roundabout are ahead of pre-season favourites Radstye Rangers, with Napsmout 6th in an impressive return to league football. All 3 newly promoted sides are outside the drop zone, as Frostbrook Rovers, Buchraston Heath and FC North Waldster fall several points behind safety.

Round 2, 64 teams left including all of the biggest teams in the nation, with fans of lower league sides and neutrals dreaming of big upsets. This round delivered some. Starting with Super League sides who were upset, Claychester of the third tier claimed a considerable upset, as a goal just 2 minutes in helped them defeat Carston Green 2-0. Gann were undone by a determined Guildwell Football, who got the winner in the 65th minute. Amongst non-Super League sides, there were other upsets. Henhaven Palace of the fifth tier pulled out a great 2-0win, to defeat second tier strugglers Rumlington Rovers. Boll Lake Mariners also defeated Challenge League opposition, they got a penalty win over Cartswood, although on current league form it’s debatable how much of an upset this was. Fourth tier Calhead Rangers impressed with their away win at third tier Millsea. Of the noteworthy ties of the round, both of the sixth tier sides were eliminated. Johns Park were too much for Loxthorpe Green, and Ifleii’s gallant efforts at Abbots Lunsel were fruitless in the end. Other interesting ties saw Langmere Green Rovers defeat Kings Lunsel 2-1 in extra time, as Alan Young returned to his former employers. Waldster needed extra time to avoid the potential banana skin of an away tie against Redthwaite Rangers. In a North-Western derby, Hopford made their higher division status count, cruising to a 0-3 victory in Slaton. Holders Stanmorn are out in the first hurdle, defeated away in extra time to South Maishop. 32 sides progress, including 2 non-league sides, Saltearth and Henhaven Palace.

Natfiser Super League

Part 3

Summary
Matchday 11, the big story was Alan Young taking on former employer Langmere Green Rovers as the new manager of Kings Lunsel. Anthony Hannigan gave the visitors the lead, slotting in the cross from Aladdin Gilbert. Then early in the second half, a rash challenge by Kadek Ahlberg to try and win the ball from Grigori Reich ensured a relatively easy route to victory for Kings Lunsel. Bavingtor took full advantage, coming from behind to win against visiting Carston Green. The holders now go top of the Super league, and will hope to stay there. Butterfield Rovers moved much closer to safety, a 3-0 win over Waldster thanks to a scintillating first half display. In Hadford Hill, Shug de la Fontaine scored a beautiful overhead kick, helping Loxthorpe Rovers to an away victory, and boosting his chances of goal of the season.

Matchday 12 was one with two derbies. In Binclestead Wood, there was all to play for with visitors Bavingtor top and Binclestead Wood in the title hunt. A close game was settled by the one goal, Amrik Singh with a cut inside and scooped shot past Thomas Foley to settle it. Thanks to a Langmere Green Rovers win, Bavingtor are knocked off top spot, and Binclestead Wood are within touching distance of top. Waldster hosted Hill in one of the oldest derbies, arguably the oldest. Reg Cupit was the unlikely opening goalscorer for the visitors, but Waldster restored some dignity and moved out of the relegation zone with a Clive Turner equaliser. Kings Lunsel and Marthorpe City played out an injury time thriller. Timur Kransnyoporov seemed to have given the visitors victory with an edge of the box goal in the 92nd minute. However with the last chance of the game, Kausjasteul Rilastadhaunden headed home a 97th minute corner. Apsbrooke also proved they’re a tough team, especially at home, with a comeback 3-1 win over the IFCF spot chasing Garden City.

Matchday 13 had 2nd vs 1st, with Bavingtor hosting Langmere Green Rovers with the Super League lead there for the taking if Bavingtor won. And they did, with Gary Carr scoring in just the 2nd minute off a Colin Henderson cross. Langmere Green Rovers attacked in numbers, but it was their undoing in the final minutes, as Gary Carr and Robert Cooper turned the game into a 3-0 win. Another big win came in Marthorpe City. Despite St Astons City taking an early lead, wayward defending meant it was a disappointing 5-1 loss, a grim away day for travelling fans. Binclestead Wood fans also had a disa away day at minor rivals Butterfield Rovers. Kloro McManus smashed an early penalty against the bar, and it was all downhill. Butterfield Rovers won 2-0 to move out of the Bottom 3. In the race to avoid the drop, Waldster weren’t at their best, but still got a win against the hapless Capton Club. Gann drop into the bottom 3, despite a hard fought goalless draw with Apsbrooke. Managers Robert Brown and John Calvert appreciated the irony of being beloved figures by the opposite club to the ones they were now in charge of. Vale are also in the Bottom 3, their goalless game against Kings Lunsel not one for the highlights reel for either side. Finally in the race for the IFCF places, Garden City and Loxthorpe Rovers played out a 2-2 draw, neither able to gain ground in that race.

Matchday 14 sees both Bavingtor and Langmere Green Rovers win in their title race. Bavingtor were made to work for it by Vale, but Robert Cooper found the net after some skillful dribbling, before Malcolm Beresford sealed the deal. Langmere Green Rovers also found Butterfield Rovers hard work, and had it not been for defensive lapses late in the first half, Butterfield Rovers could’ve well come away with a result. The chasing pack didn’t fare as well. Binclestead Wood only managed a draw with Hadford Hill, with Steven Hall turning back the years to score with a cracking long range effort. Marthorpe City failed to win at Apsbrooke, the hosts securing a point with Alex Sturman starring in attack. 2-2 as well for Garden City, unable to get the better of a Waldster side probe to making things difficult.

Matchday 15 and Bavingtor gain in the title race. Gary Carr’s 64th minute strike was enough to defeat a Kings Lunsel side who defended relatively well but were profligate in attack. Langmere Green Rovers were also profligate in attack, and it cost them dearly when a drilled shot by Gary Smith, one of only 3 on target for Hadford Hill, was enough for 3 points. A second sacking has occurred. After a 0-3 home loss to Binclestead Wood, Capton Club give up on Philip Luke, having gone half the season with no wins at all and just 3 points. Glyn Hughes comes in to try and salvage anything from this season. In the race for the IFCF places, Lucky Diamond was key for Loxthorpe Rovers, saving a Thomas Stratford penalty and making further saves to hold Marthorpe City to a 1-1 draw. Towards the bottom, in the relegation race, Butterfield Rovers dominated Vale with a 5-2 win to boost their survival credentials. Waldster also avoided a potential banana skin, with a good win at cross city side Gann.

Halfway through the season, and Bavingtor open up a 5 point lead over Langmere Green Rovers, and look the best side in the nation. Binclestead Wood in 3rd now just have a point between them and 2nd place. Marthorpe City and Loxthorpe Rovers are in the IFCF places, but St Astons City are only behind them on goal difference, with Garden City falling away. At the bottom of the table, Capton Club on just 3 points are having a shocking return to the Super League. Vale and Gann are in the drop zone, with Kings Lunsel still dangerously close to the drop zone.

Lower League Roundup
The top of the Challenge League is close at this halfway stage of the campaign. Batchingtonwood Rovers move into the lead, but only on goal difference. Havermilly lie just behind in 2nd, chasing a first ever modern era Super League appearance. Nailwood Mills aren’t out of the automatic promotion race at all however in 3rd, chasing a double promotion for a first ever top flight appearance. Pre-season favourites Stanmorn are down to 4th, ahead of rivals Sporting Towerhaite, whom themselves have a negative goal difference. Guildwell Football in6th head up a very close race for the playoffs. It’s a bit more spread out at the bottom, with Henhaven Islanders, Cartswood and Rumlington Rovers needing to do some work in the second half of the season to stay up.

A new leader in the National League Division 1 sees Woodbrook top, the Waldster based side aiming for a second appearance in the second tier. Slaton are 2nd, but only by a goal difference of one ahead of Boll Lake Mariners. The story of the season so far in the division is Ashland Common. Now 4th, could they get an unprecedented third promotion in a row? They head up an out of form Claychester and Whittlesbury Wanderers in the playoff spots. Some changes in a close relegation race see Boleland Wood Town and Johns Park drop into the Bottom 3, sandwiching Alstone.

Into the National League Division 2, and Old Marthorpe still lead as they target a return to the third tier quickly. Magic Roundabout now lie second, as they bid to make it into the third tier. Highhadford are still 3rd, ahead of Radstye Rangers and Calhead Rangers. Oxwich Wood in 6th are a surprise, having just made a return to the league. It’s still the same 3 sides in the drop zone, Frostbrook Rovers, FC North Waldster and Buchraston Heath.

Round 3, and there were so many upsets it’s hard to know where to begin. In Langmere Green Rovers, the visit of fourth tier Calhead Rangers, less than a half-hour down the road seemed a foregone conclusion. However Calhead Rangers were impenetrable in defence. In the 86th minute, with quite literally their first real attempt at goal, Rajnikanth Pillai headed in a cross, beating Geoffrey Waterhouse. The hosts were stunned, and the visitors held on to secure one of the greatest cup shocks for a while. That wasn’t the only upset spanning three tiers. Henhaven Palace and South Maishop were scoreless after the 90 minutes was up. In the opening exchanges of extra time, Henhaven Palace found the net, and the non-league side held on to eliminate their Challenge League opposition. The other non-league side left, Saltearth, progressed as well, with a penalty win away at third tier Claychester. Three other Super League sides fell to lower league opposition, all away from home. St Astons City’s relatively short away trip to Hopford was not a fun one, the Challenge League side winning 3-1. Abbots Lunsel and Hadford Hill played out a dull 90 minutes, a thrilling extra time period, and on penalties, Hadford Hill cracked and were eliminated. Westwood scored twice in the final 10 minutes, to come from behind and defeat Vale. Other big names out include Bavingtor, defeated by Garden City, and Binclestead Wood who were eliminated by Marthorpe City. Just 6 Super League sides enter Round 4, along with 4 from the Challenge League, 3 from the National League Division 1, 1 from the National League Division 2, 1 from the Western Alliance D1, and 1 from the Eastern Alliance D1.

Natfiser Super League

Part 4

Summary
Into the second half of the new season, and for Glyn Hughes and Capton Club, a real change of fortune. Michael Collins opened the scoring against Langmere Green Rovers, and then a late counter attack secured a first win for the bottom of the table side. As for Langmere Green Rovers, their title push was being derailed quickly. Despite a spirited effort by Butterfield Rovers, they couldn’t get a result against Bavingtor, who now were opening up a big lead in the title race. 2nd now are Bavingtor’s strong rivals Binclestead Wood, although they were held to a draw by Garden City. Hosts Garden City should have won, but missed 2 clear cut chances in the final 10 minutes. Robert Simmons was a star for Vale, his hat-trick got them 3 key points against Hadford Hill. Also getting 3 points were Loxthorpe Rovers in the IFCF places battle, a good result away at St Astons City.

Matchday 17, and leaders Bavingtor were held at home by Hadford Hill, a rare game where the holders looked off pace. Binclestead Wood also looked somewhat off the pace, but got a win over Gann, Thomas Burrows finally breaking through late on. Late Goals defined many games this matchday. In Langmere Green Rovers, Sedna Giunta thought his tap-in secured a comeback victory over Garden City. But the visitors got a late free-kick, and after a bit of a goalmouth scramble, Giordano Limene got the equaliser. Marthorpe City won in Carston Green thanks to the late effort from Thomas Stratford, turning in the cross of Victor Collomb. Apsbrooke would improve their surprise IFCF aspirations, 2 goals beyond 80 minutes meant they snatched victory at Loxthorpe Rovers. Finally, in the Waldster vs St Astons City Derby, lengthy delays in the first half from 2 injuries and a minor scuffle meant Richard Doughty scored the game’s only goal 10 minutes into 17 minutes of first half injury time.

Matchday 18 and a surprise result as bottom side Capton Club take on leaders Bavingtor. When James Green scored on the break in the final minutes, it seemed the valiant efforts of the hosts would be for nothing, with the score 0-2. But as injury time started, Richard Foster knocked in the ball by Siddharth Bhandari. Then, the last minute corner saw Michael Collins eventually get the ball over the line, following 2 scuffed clearances that didn’t escape the box. A point for a rejuvenated Capton Club side under Glyn Hughes, and a stumble for Bavingtor. Binclestead Wood however failed to capitalise. A thriller in Marthorpe City saw 6 goals shared between the sides. Neil Wright was the unfortunate villain, heading in the cross from the star of the game, Amrik Singh, into his own goal. Langmere Green Rovers got back to winning ways, Robin King finally on the scoresheet after an injury layoff, opponents Gann meanwhile still mired in relegation danger. Neither Vale nor Butterfield Rovers could get points though. Vale went for broke at 1-0 down, and were broken, losing 3-0 in the end to Garden City. Butterfield Rovers had a closer game at Hadford Hill, but still lost 3-2, a Steven Hall penalty sealing the deal. Carston Green got something of a surprise win at St Astons City, Imram Ahmed’s 2 early goals enough in that game, and Waldster got a win at Apsbrooke, by no means an easy feat.

Matchday 19, and Bavingtor hold steady against their rivals Binclestead Wood in the title race, with both winning. Bavingtor did the hard work in the first half against Garden City, going into the break 3-1 up and seeing it through to a 4-2 win. Binclestead Wood had to work hard against a St Astons City side on a bit of a slide, but came away 1-0 winners thanks to Amrik Singh’s long range goal. Langmere Green Rovers are under further pressure and slide to 4th, behind Marthorpe City who beat them 1-3. Andrew Thomas was the star, with a second half hat-trick to turn the game around. Loxthorpe Rovers keep up their IFCF spot, with Andrew Brocklehurst’s well taken goal in the 2nd minute enough to win at Waldster. In the relegation battle, Vale found themselves 3-0 up against Gann in under 30 minutes. But a strong fight back by the visitors, combined with some lethargic defending by Vale made it 3-3 in the end. The big beneficiaries were Butterfield Rovers, who made light work of Capton Club to win 3-0 and move away from the Bottom 3. Also moving away from the Bottom 3 are Kings Lunsel, who made Hadford Hill look amateur in their own ground in a 0-4 win, that on another day could’ve been 6 or 7.

Matchday 20, and the red mist seemingly descended on the Super League, with 4 red cards. The highest scoring game of the Matchday didn’t see one, as Loxthorpe Rovers put a half dozen past Carston Green in a dominant 6-2 display. Andrew Brocklehurst couldn’t be contained at all, scoring a hat-trick and getting an assist. There was more cheer for Loxthorpe Rovers, as they passed Langmere Green Rovers. Zdeslaw Markowić got the opener for St Astons City, and despite an early second half second yellow for Guang Yang, Langmere Green Rovers could only muster a draw, with Adrian Jones scoring late on to save the visitors some dignity. Also seeing red was Munster Galvin, a rush of blood saw him catch Gotzon "Gordon" Berystain in the face with a ridiculously high boot, leaving Apsbrooke to play most of the game with 10 men. Unsurprisingly, the visitors Binclestead Wood won that encounter, although only by a single goal to nil. Gann nearly had a key 3 points in a shock against leaders Bavingtor, but a late attack saw Robert Cooper set up Aston Lombardi for the equaliser. More drama ensured as Robert Cooper was fouled a new minutes later whilst nearly through on goal by former Bavingtor player Martin Fox. Cooper jumped up and squared off against Fox. Whether something was said is unclear, but Fox received a yellow, and Cooper a harsh second yellow and red. The other red card went to Tom Roberts, who’s denial of goalscoring opportunity tackle on Michael Collins late in the first half of Capton Club vs Hadford Hill proved costly. Collins shortly after scored anyway, then made it 2 in the 79th minute for Capton Club’s 2nd win of the season. Kings Lunsel and Waldster served up some drama, Richard Doughty missing an 83rd minute penalty that would’ve made it 2-3, and not long later Anthony Hannigan scoring the winner to make it 3-2. Elsewhere, Marthorpe City boosted their title bid and harmed Vale’s survival chances, with an emphatic second half display to win 5-1. Butterfield Rovers went 0-2 up at Garden City, the hosts got it back to 2-2 for a point, but at this stage, both sides could’ve done with 3.

10 games to go, and Bavingtor are top by 4 points. If they keep up the form, it’s 3 titles in a row. If not, then their fierce rivals Binclestead Wood are next up to try and take a surprise title. However Marthorpe City lie just a point behind them, and certainly will have 2nd and an IFCF Champions League Qualifers spot on their mind. 4th now are Loxthorpe Rovers, ahead of faltering rivals Langmere Green Rovers. Both have a 6 point margin in the race for IFCF spots, so they’ll be looking up and not down for now. 6th-12th is a tight squeeze at the moment, only 4 points between the spots, one good or bad run could change so much. At the bottom, Capton Club are improving, but still a long way of safety. Gann are increasingly running out of games to turn it around to avoid immediate relegation. Vale are 3 points off safety behind Butterfield Rovers, but their goal difference is a lot worse.

Lower League Roundup
Just 10 games to go, and Batchingtonwood Rovers and Stanmorn look to be establishing a firm hold on the automatic promotion spots. The playoff race is very close, just 6 points separate 3rd place Havermilly and 11th place Vitarias Legion. Narrock Wood United, Sporting Towerhaite and Nailwood Mills currently have playoff spots, but almost anyone in the midtable could make it in. In the relegation race, Cartswood are some way off safety, and time is running out for Rumlington Rovers too. Henhaven Islanders are 14th, but just a point off Croxlich, who’ve never been outside the top 2 tiers in the modern era.

Woodbrook are still narrowly leading in the National League Division 1. It’s now Boll Lake Mariners moving up to 2nd, as Slaton drop to 3rd. Claychester and Whittlesbury Wanderers find some form, moving up to 4th and 5th, with Redthwaite Rangers now into the playoffs. Westwood’s struggles drop them to 14th, with Boleland Wood Town and Johns Park still in the relegation zone.

Old Marthorpe are leading in the National League Division 2, as Radstye Rangers finally hit the ground running to move up to 2nd. Highhadford remain in 3rd, followed by Magic Roundabout in 4th. Oxwich Wood continue a fine season in 5th, and Captonbridge Rangers hold 6th, with a bit of a gap to the chasing pack. Still it remains Buchraston Heath, FC North Waldster and Frostbrook Rovers facing the drop to non-league.

Flavovespia Gold Cup

Round 4
(NLD2) Calhead Rangers FC 2–1 (SL) Waldster FC
(WA1) Saltearth FC 0–0 (NLD1) Johns Park FC (0–0 AET) (2–4 pen.)
(CL) North Mayshop FC 1–1 (NLD1) Alstone FC (1–1 AET) (5–4 pen.)

(SL) Butterfield Rovers FC 2–1 (CL) Narrock Wood United FC
(SL) Apsbrooke FC 2–1 (SL) Garden City FC
(SL) Marthorpe City FC 3–0 (CL) Abbots Lunsel FC

Round 4, just 16 teams remain and amongst them some real underdogs. And they weren’t done yet. Calhead Rangers hosted Waldster, a side notorious for slipping up away from home against lower league opposition. Robert Ruddick gave Calhead Rangers a shock early lead just 3 minutes in. John Merrifield equalised 19 minutes in, and from there Waldster seemed better, but lacked the final touch. That cost them, with 10 minutes to go, Robert Ruddick popped up again, to hit the winner on the half-volley. The fourth tier side claimed another upset, and were into the Quarter Finals. Yet they weren’t to be the lowest ranked side in the Quarter Finals. In the 42nd minute of Henhaven Palace vs Westwood, Gary Dugmore, part time footballer and part time fitness instructor, fired Henhaven Palace into the lead. It would turn out to be the only goal, as the non-league side made it to the Quarter Finals. Saltearth came so close to joining them, but in a penalty shootout, it was Johns Park who triumphed. Of the other 5 games, they all largely went to form. North Mayshop were taken all the way to penalties by visitors Alstone, but the hosts got the win in the most nervous way possible. Loxthorpe Rovers easily took down visitors Hopford, in an emphatic 4-0 win. Butterfield Rovers won a fairly competitive game against Narrock Wood United. Apsbrooke proved a tough away trip for visitors Garden City, as the hosts won 2-1 in the only all Super League tie of the round. Finally, Marthorpe City were comfortable 3-0 winners over Abbots Lunsel.

Natfiser Super League

Part 5

Summary
Matchday 21, and at the top, Bavingtor took on Marthorpe City in a key game for the title race. Jonathan Goldstone’s 11th minute effort from a narrow angle gave the hosts the lead, and despite Nathan Crewe saving a penalty, Bavingtor held on to win, getting a second via a counter attack that was eventually turned in off the foot of Saltino Salazar into his own goal. The lead at the top extends to 6 points, as Binclestead Wood were held to a 2-2 draw by Loxthorpe Rovers, after some late back and forth in terms of goals. Langmere Green Rovers again failed to win, needing a second half comeback to draw 2-2 at home vs Apsbrooke, and Garden City were held in Hadford Hill, after Gary Smith opened the scoring with an overhead kick. A thriller at Capton Club saw Kings Lunsel lead 1-3 after 64 minutes. However, Paul Bidwell, Siddharth Bhandari and Richard Foster all found the net in a remarkable turnaround. Gann also finally won again, a key 0-2 win at Butterfield Rovers to close up the title race. Vale got themselves a late point, coming back in the last 10 minutes to level with St Astons City. Finally, an early Lancelot Wray goal gave Waldster a win on their long journey to Carston Green.

Matchday 22, and the Rovers Derby was the hyped up match, and it delivered. Shug de la Fontaine’s 23rd minute opener was quickly cancelled out by Adrian Jones’ header. Jones then got a second, deflecting in the cross by Sedna Giunta. But, before the break, Philip Swales equalised with a great curling effort, a delight for the Loxthorpe born player and fan, who came through the academy. Asher Corby then scored in the final moments of the first half to make it 3-2 at the break. No more goals, but a win that boosts Loxthorpe Rovers in the race for the 2nd IFCF Champions League Qualifying spot, and an outside title shot. Langmere Green Rovers’ woes were compounded by Garden City overwhelming Capton Club. 2-2 on the hour mark, the visitors fell apart, to lose 7-2 in the end, with Conor Jacques picking up a hat-trick. Bavingtor found St Astons City a tough team to visit, but a single goal by Robert Cooper was enough, with Thomas Foley outstanding in goal. Binclestead Wood were held to a goalless draw in Waldster, and drop to 3rd. They’re level with Marthorpe City, but now 8 points off top with 8 games to play. No real movement in the relegation race, Butterfield Rovers lost at Marthorpe City, Vale lost in Apsbrooke, and Gann were defeated by Hadford Hill. Kings Lunsel failed to capitalise on goalkeeper John Holmes of Carston Green being sent off for handling outside the area, with Nicholas Dobson putting in a fine substitute appearance.

Matchday 23, and Bavingtor finally lost another game. In a surprise, Stephen Wallis of Apsbrooke found the net first, just beating the offside trap. Gary Carr equalised with 15 minutes to go, but it was Alan Holdsworth from just inside the box who proved to score the winner. Apsbrooke move to 6th, and could still sneak their way into the IFCF spots. Binclestead Wood took advantage in a 9 goal thriller against Carston Green. Defences seemingly were left at home, with Carston Green making a fair few key blunders to concede. Michael Rossi may have scored what turned out to be a mere consolation to make it 5-4 in the 90th minute, but his volley from outside the box was sublime. Marthorpe City however, suffered a big blow at the hands of their rivals. 0-1 up after Victor Collomb’s close range effort, Imran Butt equalised just 5 minutes later, with a driven shot across the face of the goal. Then, 12 minutes from time, hometown hero Steven Hall scored from a tight angle, giving Hadford Hill a 2-1 win. Langmere Green Rovers got back to winning ways, a 2-0 victory courtesy of some clinical finishing by Kadek Ahlberg. Capton Club and Gann drew 1-1 in the relegation race, a result that favours Gann a little with Butterfield Rovers losing 2-5 to St Astons City, and Vale somewhat unfortunate to lose 0-1 to Loxthorpe Rovers, their quality of play deserved at least a point.

Matchday 24 saw a second consecutive loss for Bavingtor. Philip Swales early goal for Loxthorpe Rovers ramped the pressure up on Bavingtor to respond, and they cracked. Some feisty tackles eventually saw Jonathan Goldstone react to a foul by Dorain Ballard with a shove to the face. Ballard made quite the meal out of the contact, but it was still a red card offence, and unfortunately a 5 game ban for Goldstone. Marthorpe City found themselves a goal down at the break against an improving Capton Club, but a determined fightback saw them make it 3-1, to go to 2nd and 5 points behind Bavingtor. Binclestead Wood also found themselves losing 1-0, with a nearly second half goal by Anthony Hannigan enough for Kings Lunsel to win and leap up to 9th, still quite off their expectations for the season however. Michael Hornby had seemingly secured a comeback win for Langmere Green Rovers in Carston Green, only for Paul Fahey to get his first ever goal for Carston Green, scoring in a crowded box in a last ditch attack. Apsbrooke move to 2 points off the IFCF spots now, thanks to a 2-0 win over Butterfield Rovers thanks to 2 penalties. As for Butterfield Rovers, Gary Hodgson was sacked despite the side still lying 13th. With fears of relegation rising, the club have taken the bold decision to give former right wing back and current reserves manager John Clark the reins for the final 6 games. In the relegation race, Gann were 9 minutes off of victory over Garden City, before Colin Henderson struck an equaliser, the visitors drawing more often than not this season. Vale were once again unlucky in defeat, as they came close multiple times to scoring past big neighbours Waldster in a 1-0 loss.

Matchday 25, just 5 to go and the title race swings back towards Bavingtor. It started off badly, when Clive Turner took just 6 minutes to score past his former side, looking rather sheepish in the process. However Aston Lombardi levelled it before the break, and then Robert Cooper, a star this season, jinxed past 2 defenders before scoring the eventual winner. Both Marthorpe City and Binclestead Wood were held to goalless draws, at Garden City and Langmere Green Rovers respectively. Also drawing were Loxthorpe Rovers, and they had to come from behind, Andrew Brocklehurst with the two goals to deny John Clark a win on debut as Butterfield Rovers interim manager. Apsbrooke could’ve used this opportunity to further boost their IFCF spot hope, but after throwing away an early lead, Gerald Bishop’s red card for fouling Steven Hall clean through on goal meant Hadford Hill easily won 4-1. In the relegation race, Vale’s Stephen Townsend was the star vs Carston Green. He scored twice, including the 91st minute winner that settled a 3-2 result. Michael Collins also scored a late winner in a 3-2 win for Capton Club, his 89th minute low shot the goal that defeated St Astons City.

With 5 games to go, Bavigntor lead by 7 points as they bid for a third consecutive title. 3 more wins, and they hold onto their title. The race for 2nd has really heated up. Just goal difference separates Marthorpe City, Binclestead Wood and Loxthorpe Rovers, it could be any of those 3 into the IFCF Champions League Qualifiers, or maybe none at all. Langmere Green Rovers lie 5th, they may be only 5 points off of 2nd, but more concerningly, they’re just 3 points above 6th and potentially missing out on international club football altogether. Apsbrooke are a surprise 6th, but could well go further and make a very surprise entry into the Top 5. Garden City in 7th need a big improvement, and to turn draws into wins to keep up their streak of IFCF appearances. The relegation battle is 4 teams fighting for one survival spot, barring a total Waldster or Carston Green collapse. Butterfield Rovers and Vale both have 22 points, the former just in the safety spot on goal difference. 20 points is Gann’s tally, still enough at this stage to keep them in contention for safety. And what about Capton Club, 14 points in 10 games since Glyn Hughes came in to get to 17 points? Could they make a miracle run to safety?

Lower League Roundup
With just 5 games to go, Stanmorn and Batchingtonwood Rovers are locked in a battle for the Challenge League title. 7 ahead of Havermilly in 3rd, the pair of them should very likely make a return to the Super League after 1 and 2 seasons respectively. It’s still the same 3 sides from 4th to 6th, Narrock Wood United, Sporting Towerhaite and Nailwood Mills. South Maishop in 7th are close behind, and Hopford in 8th can’t be ruled out. Cartswood are almost down now, and Rumlington Rovers and Henhaven Islanders have precious few games left to try and get to safety.

Slaton now lead in the National League Division 1, and look well placed to make a return to the Challenge League at the first time of asking. Woodbrook are 2nd, 3 points ahead of Claychester. Boll Lake Mariners in 4th are very likely to be in the playoffs, but behind them is a 3way battle between Millsea, Redthwaite Rangers and Whittlesbury Wanderers, with the latter looking up to try and get in the playoffs. At the bottom of the table, Boleland Wood Town are very close to relegation, with Alstone and Westwood still needing to do a fair bit to stay up. There’s plenty of teams though outside the relegation zone looking cautiously over their shoulders.

Radstye Rangers are on a roll in the National League Division 2, and it looks like they’ll make a quick return to the National League Division 1. Highhadford jump to second, ahead of a struggling Old Marthorpe. Magic Roundabout still lie 4th, Oxwich Wood 5th and Caffchin now occupy 6th. However at least 5 teams outside the playoffs will feel they have a chance of getting into them. Still no change in the Bottom 3, with Buchraston Heath, FC North Waldster and Frostbrook Rovers in the relegation zone to non-league, but a nervy time for Napsmouth and Sandneston Rovers just ahead of them.

Flavovespia Gold Cup

Quarter Finals
(EA1) Henhaven Palace FC 3–5 (NLD1) Johns Park FC
(SL) Marthorpe City FC 3–3 (SL) Butterfield Rovers FC (4–3 AET)
(SL) Apsbrooke FC 4–3 (CL) North Mayshop FC
(SL) Loxthorpe Rovers FC 1–0 (NLD2) Calhead Rangers FC

The Quarter Finals now, and with 4 of the 8 sides outside of the Super League, the dream of a shock winner lived on. In the only tie not involving a Super League side, Henhaven Palace’s dream run came to an end at the hands of Johns Park. A first half collapse to leave it 1-5 at half time was a sad end to what had been such a great cup run, the final result 3-5. Johns Park make it to the semi finals, a great run for a third tier side, although some are quick to point all of their opponents are third tier or below, in fact 4 of the 5 were non-league. Marthorpe City looked like going through thanks to a Victor Collomb hat-trick, only for Juan Jose Montenegro Gisbert to send it to extra time late on. Andrew Thomas in the 111st minute made sure the hosts were into the semi finals. Apsbrooke were 3-0 up at the break against North Mayshop, but fell apart in the opening 15 minutes of the second half, dropping to 3-3. Sadly for North Mayshop, the almightly underdog comeback story didn’t end in their favour, as Alex Sturman’s 67th minute goal secured the win for Apsbrooke. Calhead Rangers had also captured the hearts of many with their heroics in the cup. However, Loxthorpe Rovers ended their magical cup run, Philip Swales slotting in the only goal in the 34th minute. The defence of the Super League side certainly didn’t have it easy however.

Natfiser Super League

Part 6

Matchday 26, just 4 to go, and every one seems ever more important. Bavingtor took the lead in the 10th minute at Carston Green with Aston Lombardi played in by a great through ball by Robert Cooper. Carston Green played well, but Bavingtor held firm, and took an important 3 points. If a few results go their way next time out, they could win the title at home against fierce rivals Binclestead Wood. The race for 2nd holds steady, with all 3 sides involved getting a win. Marthorpe City arguably had the most dramatic of the 3 games, twice they lost their lead against Gann, but in the 92nd minute, Thomas Stratford scored, turning in the long early cross by MJ Hayes, to the joy of the home fans. Binclestead Wood already looked comfortable when Thomas Burrows scored an early opener vs Vale, and when Tim Swain saw a straight red for a denial of goalscoring opportunity on the aforementioned Burrows, it was a routine win. Loxthorpe Rovers seemed to be cruising vs Hadford Hill, but when ex Langmere Green Rovers player Edward Lipinski pulled a goal back, it was a nervy finish to hold on for that 2-1 win. Speaking of Langmere Green Rovers, they failed to capitalise on Paul Bizzell’s red card for a lunging tackle on Adrian Jones that could’ve been a lot worse for the striker than it was, and lost 2-1. That leaves them now just 2 points ahead of Apsbrooke, who themselves were disappointed to throw away a 2 goal lead at home to Capton Club to draw 2-2, and 3 points ahead of Kings Lunsel, who now are surging and could even make the IFCF spots. Butterfield Rovers still remain in grave danger of dropping into the Bottom 3, after a 2-0 loss at Waldster. Finally, yet another draw for Garden City, this goalless one at St Astons City lacked any real excitement.

Matchday 27, and the Bavingtor vs Binclestead Wood game was very hyped up, with the potential for the title to be decided in that game. First, Bavingtor had to win, and win they did. Robert Cooper’s low left footed effort opened the scoring, and Aston Lombardi was played in by Oscar Brokhurst for the second. Bavingtor needed losses for Marthorpe City and Loxthorpe Rovers to be champions. Marthorpe City would lose, having gone for a more attacking style, they still found Kings Lunsel very resilient, and in the end were undone on the break, Viper von Lisenburg scoring the only goal of the game. Loxthorpe Rovers could’ve really capitalised with a win given results around them, but were losing thanks to Capton Club scoring on the hour mark. 85 minutes in, and Robert Totten got a tap-in after the home side couldn’t clear their lines. So Bavingtor still need one more point in their last 3 to be confirmed champions, and despite a poor performance on paper and on the pitch, Loxthorpe Rovers are now second. Continuing with the relegation race, Gann lead for 5 minutes against St Astons City. It was 1-1 in the closing minutes, but a quick counter from a corner lead to Zdeslaw Markowić scoring to break the hearts and hopes of Gann fans in this match. A crucial point dropped in the fight to avoid immediate relegation. Butterfield Rovers also lead against Carston Green, thanks to young star Richard Birmingham. But they also succumbed to a 1-2 loss, dropping points when it really hurts. Vale however, they’d move up to 13th after securing a point against Langmere Green Rovers. True, they did concede an equaliser, and poor finishing was a problem for Langmere Green Rovers, but sides in the relegation race take points however they come. Langmere Green Rovers still just hold 5th, due to Apsbrooke only drawing against, you guessed it, Garden City. Last, but by no means least for the teams involved was the Hadford Hill vs Waldster derby. With both sides needing a win to keep faint hopes of 5th place alive, Waldster’s strong first half display to go into the break 0-2 up was enough, despite a late fightback, a Mark Paul goal, and some rows on the pitch that came close to boiling over.

Matchday 28, and Bavingtor knew a point at Langmere Green Rovers, and they’d definitely be champions. However a tense game saw Adrian Jones break the deadlock in the 69th minute, with a headed effort form a Sedna Giunta cross. Giunta then added the second 5 minutes later, and Langmere Green Rovers got themselves a win over Bavingtor. However for Bavingtor, Loxthorpe Rovers also needed to win to keep their title hopes alive. Still goalless in the dying stages, Loxthorpe Rovers went for it, and Craig Fraser punished them on the counter attack. Garden City won 0-1 in Loxthorpe Rovers, and to the delight of Bavingtor (and Langmere Green Rovers fans), it was Bavingtor who once again were the Super League champions. The loss for Loxthorpe Rovers opened up the race for 2nd for others to take advantage. Marthorpe City did, with a solid win against a St Astons City side who’s season has faded into mediocracy. Binclestead Wood had a more dramatic encounter. Michael Hinton fired Butterfield Rovers into the lead, before Amrik Singh darted through to equalise before half-time. With the final attack of the game, Thomas Burrows got on a rebound following a shot by Buburhunak Zinaurtherinthen, securing 3 points for the hosts, and still leaving Butterfield Rovers in the relegation zone. Vale didn’t capitalise on that however, losing 1-0 to a Kings Lunsel side in great form and in the fight for an IFCF Challengers Cup Qualifier spot. Gann lost 3-1 at IFCF spot chasing Apsbrooke, with Gann now needing at least 1 win in their final 2 to stand a chance of survival. Capton Club also lost, defeated soundly by Waldster, and hopes of a miracle survival seem all but over. In the other game of the Matchday, Steven Hall scored shortly before the break to get Hadford Hill a win in Carston Green.

Matchday 29, and with the title wrapped up, attention turned to the other key battles. A result with big implications at both ends of the table came as Butterfield Rovers took on Langmere Green Rovers. Richard Birmingham’s early goal was a shock to the visitors, and their task came even harder in the 25th minute when Adrian Jones was sent off for a dangerous attempt to win the ball in the air against goalkeeper Ander Hiriarte. Juan José Montenegro Gisbert doubled the lead in the 66th minute and even a goal by Michael Hornby couldn’t help the visitors. Butterfield Rovers take a giant leap to safety, Langmere Green Rovers have their international club football hopes not in their own hands anymore. Capton Club were relegated by the win for Butterfield Rovers anyway, their fightback from 2-4 to 4-4 in an entertaining game against Carston Green all for nothing.The favourites to go down, and the slow starters are going down, despite their fightback under Glyn Hughes. The win for Butterfield Rovers also meant Gann were down if they didn’t beat Loxthorpe Rovers. Shug de la Fontaine and Robert Totten put that win well beyond reach, and Gann could only muster a goal in a futile fightback. They’re back down after just 1 season in this Super League stint. Vale had the lead early on vs champions Bavingtor following Steven Cutler’s powerful effort. Sean Rafferty soon equalised, and Gary Carr got the winner for Bavingtor. Late on, Kevin Webb was off on a second yellow. Vale host Butterfield Rovers on the final Matchday, they must win to stay up and relegate their opponents. With Loxthorpe Rovers winning, the pressure was on Marthorpe City and Binclestead Wood, and they looked to have cracked. In Marthorpe City, Alan Holdsworth put one past his old side, in a close 0-1 match that leaves Apsbrooke with a chance of making into the IFCF Challengers Cup Qualifiers. Binclestead Wood played out an entertaining game in Hadford Hill, with Buburhunak Zinaurtherinthen and Mark Paul both scoring on the volley, but in the end, it was 4-2 to the hosts. In St Astons City, Daniel Laverne found the net from outside the box, as Kings Lunsel leap into that coverted 5th place, who could’ve seen that coming after such a torrid beginning of the season. Finally, hopes of IFCF competition for Garden City and Waldster were extinguished in a 0-0 draw that had a lot of attacks, but no end product.

With a game to go, the title race is settled, with Bavingtor as champions. It’s 3 way race for 2nd, with 2 of those teams facing off. As it stands, it’s Loxthorpe Rovers (2nd, 52, +13), Marthorpe City (3rd, 51, +20), and Binclestead Wood (4th, 52, +12). Loxthorpe Rovers will be 2nd with a win, or a draw if Binclestead Wood don’t win. Marthorpe City must win to get 2nd, and with a much superior goal difference to Binclestead Wood, that should be enough. Binclestead Wood realistically need the Loxthorpe Rovers vs Marthorpe City match to be drawn, and then a win vs Capton Club is enough. Otherwise, they need a small Marthorpe City win, and an absolute thrashing against Capton Club. In the race for 5th, the contenders are Kings Lunsel (5th, 46, +9), Apsbrooke (6th, 45, +3) and Langmere Green Rovers (7th, 44, +7). If Kings Lunsel win, they’re 5th. If they don’t, and Apsbrooke win, Apsbrooke are 5th. If both Kings Lunsel and Apsbrooke fail to win, Langmere Green Rovers are 5th with a considerable win, or any win if Kings Lunsel lose. Other permutations exist, but Kings Lunsel are in the driving seat, albeit with a tough fixture. As for the relegation race, with Capton Club and Gann down, it’s simple. Vale win, they stay up and Butterfield Rovers go down. If Vale don’t win, they go down and Butterfield Rovers stay up.

Lower League Roundup

With a game to go, both Stanmorn and Batchingtonwood Rovers are promoted. Stanmorn have a 3 point lead, so merely a point would seal the Challenge League title for them. South Maishop have stormed into form to reach 3rd, they’re in the playoffs as long as they don’t lose by 2 or more vs Nailwood Mills. Havermilly are 4th and also merely need to avoid loss to make the playoffs. Sporting Towerhaite are 5th and Narrock Wood United 6th, but there’s still a chance that Nailwood Mills or Abbots Lunsel make the playoffs. The relegation race is settled, going down are Rumlington Rovers, Henhaven Islanders and Cartswood.

Matchday 30 fixtures:
Henhaven Islanders FC v Sporting Towerhaite
Nailwood Mills FC v South Maishop FC

Cartswood FC v Stanmorn FC
Hopford FC v Vitarias Legion
Abbots Lunsel FC v North Mayshop FC

In the National League Division 1, both Slaton and Woodbrook are guaranteed promotion. Slaton can seal the title with a win, realistically a draw should be enough. Sealed as well are the four playoff teams, if not the specific finishing spots, they are Boll Lake Mariners, Claychester, Millsea and Whittlesbury Wanderers. In the relegation race, Boleland Wood Town are definitely down. Johns Park and Alstone could survive, but must win. In danger if those two get a win are Westwood, and Ashland Common, a second half form collapse could see them go straight back down.

Radstye Rangers have run away with the National League Division 2 title. Highhadford only need to avoid defeat against Ellerstone United to go up. If not, Old Marthorpe could go up with a win over the aforementioned division winners. Behind Old Marthorpe, the playoff race is wide open. 3 of Waldster Junction, Oxwich Wood, Magic Roundabout, Captonbridge Rangers and Caffchin will make it in. At the other end of the table, Frostbrooke Rovers are confirmed to be relegated. 2 of FC North Waldster, Napsmouth and Buchraston Heath will go down, the latter two playing each other as they look to avoid non-league football.

Natfiser Super League

Part 7

In the race for second place, Loxthorpe Rovers raced into the early advantage. Kier Jeffrey headed in the free kick by Shug de la Fontaine in the 9th minute. 5 minutes later, and Andrew Brocklehurst slotted in a low through ball via Robert Totten. Robert Totten added on the hour mark to make it 3-0, and Loxthorpe Rovers looked clear. With 10 minutes to go, Victor Collomb pulled one back. However, Marthorpe City had no answer for the resolute defending after that goal, and Loxthorpe Rovers won to secure second place. Binclestead Wood fans knew things weren’t looking great, and Kloro McManus smashing his penalty off the top of the crossbar in the 31st minute, after Lukasz Baran fouled Thomas Burrows didn’t help. Buburhunak Zinaurtherinthen finally opened the scoring in the 75th minute, and Philip Roe scored in injury time, but they knew by that point 3rd was all they could get, with Marthorpe City unable to stage a comeback. Into the race for 5th, and it was Apsbrooke who struck first on the day, Alan Holdsworth scoring an easy goal in the 16th minute after Alex Sturman squared the ball to him. They were 5th for as long as Kings Lunsel failed to score vs Bavingtor. Kadek Ahlberg scored a driven shot across the face of goal in the 31st minute against Hadford Hill for Langmere Green Rovers, but they needed St Astons City to score against Apsbrooke. Kings Lunsel also needed a goal, if they were to reclaim 5th. As the minutes ticked on, all the teams seemed to be finding the nerves got to them. First the full time whistle went in Apsbrooke, the fans cheered but also nervously waited to here of news from Kings Lunsel. Full time in Langmere Green Rovers, they’d won, but knew they were out of the IFCF spots. The mood was despondent, and a sense several players and managers Kelvin Muir would be leaving was apparent. In the meantime, Kings Lunsel had a corner. Everyone was up, including Julian Ellis. Vesuvius Feist swung the ball in, Thomas Foley punched it away, and the loose ball fell to Jonathan Goldstone. A touch to steady himself, he launched it 75 metres into the empty net. Kings Lunsel were down to 7th, their unbeaten streak coming to an end just when it really hurt the most. Back in Apsbrooke, jubilation as the news of Bavingtor’s goal broke out, and there was a pitch invasion to celebrate qualification to the IFCF Challengers Cup, their first IFCF appearance since 30AU.

The relegation fight was all down to Vale vs Butterfield Rovers. With the visitor’s first real attack of the game, Karl Jones shot found its way under Ike Barnes and in. David Ord doubled the lead in the 22nd minute, with a tap in at the back post from a Christopher Hill angled pass. Adrian Barbieri pulled one back a few minutes later with an effort into the ground that bounced up and over Liam Nicholls, but at half time it remained 1-2. Juan José Montenegro Gisbert made it 1-3 just 4 minutes into the second half, putting his laces through the ball to send it into the roof of the net just under the crossbar. Robert Simmons pulled it back to 2-3 with 19 minutes to go, after a free kick wasn’t cleared. However as the minutes ticked on, Vale were running out of ideas. They couldn’t get another two goals, and as the final whistle blew, it was the away players and fans celebrating survival. Vale were down, succumbing to second season syndrome. In the other 2 games with little riding on them, Carston Green won a battle in the west, Imram Ahmed scoring early on to defeat Garden City. Gann ended their return to the Super League with a visit to cross city side Waldster. It was no upset though, with Waldster winning 2-1, all goals coming in the first half. For Waldster, after several seasons of strife, they could at least celebrate the achievement of a top half finish, and being the best of the Big 3.

Lower League Roundup
In the Challenge League, Stanmorn’s game al already relegated Cartswood was a real back and forth thriller, but the 4-4 draw was enough to secure the Challenge League title for Stanmorn. Batchingtonwood Rovers did get the win they needed against Narrock Wood United to potentially go top, but it was to no avail. South Maishop secured 3rd with a win at Nailwood Mills, and Sporting Towerhaite jumped to 4th with a win at Henhaven Islanders. Havermilly suffered a bit of an embarrassing loss under pressure at Rumlington Rovers, but results elsewhere kept them in 5th. And Abbots Lunsel capitalised on losses for Nailwood Mills and Narrock Wood United, to finish 6th and get into the playoffs. No change in the bottm 3, Rumlington Rovers, Henhaven Islanders and Cartswood were already down.

National League Division 1, and Slaton’s 0-2 win at Alstone saw the visitors win the title, although Woodbrook’s 2-3 loss to Claychester comfirmed that anyway. For Alstone though, it sent them straight back down to the 4th tier. In the relegation race, Ashland Common collapsed to a 2-6 loss against Langpool Capton. It was all down to Johns Park to hold on to their 1-3 lead at Redthwaite Rangers. However, the Flavovespia Gold Cup semi finalists failed to do so, drawing 3-3 and sending them down. Westwood’s 0-1 loss to already relegated Boleland Wood Town was a mere sideshow in the end to the relegation race. In the playoff places, Claychester’s win took them to 3rd, after Boll Lake Mariners only drew 1-1 with 6th placed Whittlesbury Wanderers. Millsea were 5th, drawing 2-2 at Buchraston.

In the National League Division 2, a 65th minute goal put Old Marthorpe ahead of division winners Radstye Rangers. However, to go up automatically, Old Marthorpe still needed Highhadford to concede at home to Ellerstone United. And they did, with 10 minutes to go, and despite throwing everything at it, still lost 0-1. So Old Marthorpe took a stunning 2nd place against the odds. In the playoff race, Captonbridge Rnagers knew they’d get in with a win at Waldster Junction. An unfortunate own goal by the hosts, then a red card just before the break, gave Captonbridge Rangers that win. Oxwich Wood with a 1-2 win at Frostbrook Rovers, and Magic Roundabout with a 2-3 win at FC North Waldster, meant they were 4th and 5th respectively, Captonbridge Rangers 6th, and Waldster Junction, who started the day 4th, ended up out of the playoffs. Caffchin were 8th, a loss to Sandneston Rovers ending their promotion dreams. In the relegation battle, Frostbrook Rovers were already down in last place. With FC North Waldster’s loss, they were down, and Napsmouth surviving if they won or drew against Buchraston Heath, and Buchraston Heath surviving if they won at Waldster. Napsmouth won 2-0, and with it live to tell the tale another season in the league.

Flavovespia Gold Cup

Semi Finals
(NLD1) Johns Park FC 3–6 (SL) Loxthorpe Rovers FC
(SL) Marthorpe City FC 0–1 (SL) Apsbrooke FC

Johns Park faced their first higher tier opposition side, in the semi finals against Loxthorpe Rovers. It wasn’t a good start, falling behind to 2 Andrew Brocklehurst goals in the opening 15 minutes, one from the spot. Johns Park got one back before half time, then in the 56th minute equalised from the spot. Sadly they ran out of steam, and were quickly knocked back, first by Robert Totten and then 2 Shug de la Fontaine goals. Johns Park got a late consolation goal, before a penalty which after a bit of debate, was taken and scored by Andrew Brocklehurst. Loxthorpe Rovers are in their first final since 32AU. Marthorpe City, beaten finalists last year, hosted Apsbrooke in the other semi final. The game was slightly in the favour of Marthorpe City in the first half, but remained goalless. The confidence of the visitors to get the winner grew, and in the 73rd minute, Victor Cooke squared the ball to Alex Sturman, to open the scoring for Apsbrooke. Try as they might, Marthorpe City had no response. Apsbrooke made it to the final for the first time since 35AU, and hope to finally win it at the fourth attempt in the final.

Part 8

Playoffs

The Challenge League playoffs, and in the Upper Semi Final, 2 sides who had just come down were facing off, South Maishop and Sporting Towerhaite were goalless after 90 minutes, but in the 116th minute, Graham Griffiths scored to put Sporting Towerhaite in the final. In the Lower Semi Final, it was again playoff disappointment for Havermilly. They took the lead in the 15th minute, however Abbots Lunsel equalised before half time, and then controlled the second half, eventually winning 1-3. In the Eliminator, South Maishop survived an early scare from Abbots Lunsel to win 3-1, setting up a repeat of the Upper Semi Final, to be played in Highland Road. This was a Playoff Final to be remembered. Sporting Towerhaite took the lead twice, only for South Maishop to equalise. 10 minutes from time, South Maishop then made it 2-3, before Sporting Towerhaite made it 3-3 with only a few minutes of normal time to go. Sporting towerhaite then took the lead in the 112th minute in extra time, only to see South Maishop equalise with literally a minute to go. The shootout was the complete opposite of a goalscoring fest. Each team missed their opening 3 penalties, a combination of off target shots and goalkeepers Jonathan Swain (Sporting Towerhaite) and John Woodberry (South Maishop) respectively. Wing Day then scored for South Maishop, and another miss put South Maishop on the brink of a Super League return. Ben Evans then smacked his penalty off the underside of the crossbar and just outside the line, giving Sporting Towerhaite a chance. But Nicholas Pryor had his penalty parried away by John Woodberry, his save taking South Maishop back up to the top flight.

In the National League Division 1, Boll Lake Mariners overturned home advantage to win 0-1 at Claychester in the Upper Semi Final. Millsea with an injury time winner over Whittlesbury Wanderers book a space in the Eliminator. However Clachester redeemed themselves, winning 3-1 over Millsea, in a contest much closer than the scoreline suggests. The Final was probably the least close of these 4 games. Boll Lake Mariners looked best in City Arena, and easily won 3-0, to book a return to the second tier.

In the National League Division 2, the shock of losing 2nd place hadn’t yet worn off for Highhadford, an early penalty for Oxwich Wood sent them into the Final. Magic Roundabout fans were left disappointed when Captonbridge Rangers rolled in and took a 1-2 win to progress to the Eliminator. For Captonbridge Rangers though, they couldn’t make it 2 away wins in the playoffs, as Highhadford booked another chance to try and go up. They couldn’t take it though, falling 3-0 down by 30 minutes in the first half. The game finished 4-2, the result beyond doubt for a while, and Oxwich Wood follow in the footsteps of Ashland Common last season, with 2 consecutive promotions to land in the third tier.

The League Cup is contested between the 64 league sides, with a seeded first round, and a pathway to the Vilitan Cove International. 7 of the third and fourth tier sides caused an upset in Round 1. Some of the big upsets included Calhead Rangers defeating St Astons City 5-4, Oxwich Wood defeating Butterfield Rovers 1-0, and Boll Lake Mariners defeating Waldster on penalties. None of the sides outside of the top two flights could make it beyond Round 2 however. Guildwell Football became the flag bearer for non-Super League sides, and in a stunning semi final, defeated Langmere Green Rovers 4-3 in extra time.

The Alliance Shield contains the 96 sides from the top two tiers of non-league football, the fifth and sixth tiers of the overall pyramid. Whilst many of the Alliance D2 sides dream of a cup run here, albeit less so than the Flavovespia Gold Cup, none could make it beyond the regional quarter finals, with 7 of the 8 regional semi finalists having recent league appearances. In the end, it was Saltearth taking on Camber Place in the final in City Arena. Camber Place won 0-2, winning the Alliance Shield for the second time and in their return to non-league football.

Flavovespia Gold Cup

Final

The Flavovespia Gold Cup Final. After all the upsets and thrillers, it was to be two Super League sides contesting the final, in Hornet’s Nest, Waldster. Loxthorpe Rovers had won the Flavovespia Gold Cup 3 times in the modern era, including the 32AU Flavovespia Gold Cup Final. Apsbrooke were in the 4th Flavovespia Gold Cup final, but were yet to win one. The game started off close, but it was opened up in the 23rd minute, when Asher Corby scored from just inside the box. It had seemed like Shug de la Fontaine had overhit a cross slightly, but Corby was there to fire past Andrew Bulman. Loxthorpe Rovers looked on top, and should’ve added more in the first half. As the second half progressed, it began to become more about the Apsbrooke attack vs the Loxthorpe Rovers defence. Then, on a quick break, Michael Salisbury brought down Philip Swales in the box, a clear penalty. Andrew Brocklehurst stepped up, and sent it straight down the middle with power, past a diving Andrew Bulman. 79 minutes gone, it was now 0-2. Loxthorpe Rovers comfortably held on, and they won the fourth Flavovespia Gold Cup of the modern era, to add to their impressive 2nd place in the League. Certainly their best season since their title winning days. For Apsbrooke, not the end of the season they wanted, but still one of their best for a while.

Natfiser Super League

Part 1

Summary
5 games in, and the early signs are that Bavingtor will certainly be one of the teams to beat again, but that Langmere Green Rovers are looking strong under new manager Michael Anderson. Bavingtor showed they meant nosiness by dispatching Carston Green easily in the Friday Football Fever season opener, and then via an Aston Lombardi hat trick, winning 6-2 against St Astons City. Only a tough but well fought 2-2 draw at Marthorpe City keeps them from a perfect record. Langmere Green Rovers only have 1 draw so far as well, that being a 1-1 at rivals Loxthorpe City. All their other games are wins, including an opening Matchday win for Anderson over his old side Garden City. Richard Birmingham is joint top of the Golden Boot race, showing his value as one of Flavovespia’s top young strikers. Cai Renshu also has 5 goals in 5, shining in his new home, that tally includes a dramatic winner on the volley against Kings Lunsel. Also on 5 goals is Victor Cooke, all 5 coming in a crazy 5-3 win over Waldster.

Some say 5 games is too early to make a judgement, that’s the attitude at Kings Lunsel. They are at the foot of the table, although fans will argue a tough set of starting fixtures is to blame. There’s some merit to that, but it’s still just a single point and another season with a bad early start. Butterfield Rovers are also winless, leading to fears they’ll be sucked into the relegation fight yet again. Best of the rest seems to be Marthorpe City on the games seen so far, although William Kenny has hit the ground running well with Garden City. Waldster as well have kept up last season’s late form to be 5th now. Too early to tell is Loxthorpe Rovers, they’ve not lost, but only won once, again however it’s been a tough set of opening fixtures for them.

Natfiser Super League

Part 2

Summary
10 games in now, and Bavingtor and Langmere Green Rovers remain locked in battle at the top. The two met on Matchday 8, in a hotly anticipated game. However good defence, and errors in attack on both sides of the pitch meant it was something of an unsatisfying 0-0 draw. Marthorpe City have tried to keep touch, but a home loss to Binclestead Wood in Matchday 10 set them back to 5 points off the top. One of the more dramatic encounters came in Matchday when Waldster hosted Hadford Hill. Waldster, already starting to hit poor form, were 0-1 down thanks to Imran Butt’s tap in, when Richard Doughty was aggressively pulled down by Reg Cupit, and retaliated with a stamp on the defender. A scuffle ensured, more players flew in, and the original 2 instigators were off, the flashpoint in a derby where the quality of football was a bit lacklustre. Loxthorpe Rovers, whilst suffering a defeat to Apsbrooke, have got 10 points in the last 5, to move up to 5th.

The relegation race sees 3 teams on 6 in the drop zone. Butterfield Rovers are suffering a case of “almost, but not quite”, with 6 draws but no wins to their name. Stanmorn are inconsistent, at times looking comfortably like they should be midtable, other times completely off the pace. Carston Green are also off the pace, looking like they’re missing the influence of William Dickinson and Peter Nicholson in midfield. Above them, Batchingtonwood Rovers and a 1-4 home loss to South Maishop aside, it’s hard to pick too much fault with them, although they could do with more points. St Astons City are also on 9, and it’s been a frustrating start for them, the sale of Daniel Lansdell hurting them.

Natfiser Super League

Part 3

Summary
The title race that was heating up after 10 Matchdays has had a cold bucket of water thrown over it and then shoved into the freezer. Bavingtor have gone for a perfect 15 points in the previous 5 games, admittedly all 1 goal wins, but Bavingtor have shown they can pull out a win even if not quite at their best. In contrast, Langmere Green Rovers have had a collapse in form. Just 5 points in the last 5, their only win coming at Waldster, and even that was helped by an Eddie Killingsworth straight red for denial of goalscoring opportunity foul on Richard Birmingham. Losses to Marthorpe City and Binclestead Wood may be understandable, but goalless draws at home to Butterfield Rovers and Carston Green cause frustration. The race for 2nd and that IFCF Champions League qualifying berth is back on now. Loxthorpe Rovers have enjoyed their rivals misfourtune to leap to 2nd, on 29 points. Also on 29 points are Binclestead Wood, a good showing all around from their squad. Marthorpe City on 27 points are also still in the hunt.

In the relegation race, the “sack race” was won by Marcus McCormick and Stanmorn. A somewhat eyebrow raising decision, given the team weren’t playing awfully, but 12 games in and with the side on 6 points, he was dismissed, and ex-Gann manager and former Flavovespian international John Calvert came in. He only has 1 win in 3 so far. That 1-4 win came on Matchday 14, against bottom side Carston Green, who must be considering how long to keep Vinh Ha in the dugout. Dropping as well into the relegation zone are Waldster. Never relegated, it looks like unless Andrew Lowe or a new manager can dig the side out of a tailspin, and fix their discipline and mentality issues, they’ll be slogging it out at the bottom. However, just 1 point ahead of them, is 3 teams. Rivals St Astons City, Batchingtonwood Rovers and Butterfield Rovers all know 14 points off of 15 games is relegation form as well.

And what of the midfield? In 10th place, South Maishop will be pleased that they’ve got away from the drop zone, their form is inconsistent but streaks of points are keeping them well above water. Kings Lunsel will be disappointed somewhat with 9th, they just don’t look like challenging for the IFCF spots, and seem to be struggling without Anthony Hannigan up top. Hadford Hill will be reasonably okay with 8th, especially as it comes with wins at St Astons City and Waldster, but they lack a bit of extra ability to really go for an IFCF spot. 7th for Garden City is a good sign for William Kenny, with the IFCF spots still in sight. Apsbrooke are 6th, and whilst 1 spot down on their 5th of last season, few at the club will be overly disappointed to be in the position they are.

Natfiser Super League

Part 4

Summary
The 10 point lead remains for Bavingtor with 10 to go, and at this point it feels more of a question of when, not if they retain their title. Furthermore, many are beginning to wonder whether or not they can actually have an invincible season and go without defeat. A closely fought draw with Marthorpe City on Matchday 20 ended a 9 game winning streak for Bavingtor. Loxthorpe Rovers have also played well, only a draw with Marthorpe City themselves have meant they’ve not got a perfect 15 these past 5 games. That streak also includes a late comeback win at rivals Langmere Green Rovers. However it just seems nobody will catch Bavingtor. Binclestead Wood have put on a good streak recently, but 10 points from the last 5 just isn’t enough to get to the coveted IFCF Champions League qualifying berths. Langmere Green Rovers have struggled to capture their early form again, a tough run of fixtures doesn’t help, but neither does poor midfield play leading to a 0-1 loss against newly promoted South Maishop. A similar story for Marthorpe City, tough fixtures, but also a poor loss, in this case to Batchingtonwood Rovers, against a newly promoted. Thankfully for the Top 5, 6th placed Garden City are 4 points behind 5th, and the Top 5 all look at least a step up from the rest of the teams.

In the relegation race, there’s been 2 sackings since the second half of the season began. A 1-5 loss to Bavingtor in Matchday 17 saw Aidan Hackney (once a Bavingtor manager himself), fired from St Astons City. St Astons City were 14th, and whilst it seemed harsh to do it in the wake of a loss to league leagues, confidence was so low. In came Steven Flynn, reserves manager and once a St Astons City defensive midfielder, in as interim. 2 wins and a draw meant he pulled St Astons City to safety for now. 19 games in, and after a succession of lacklustre results, with several late goals conceded, Vinh Ha was sacked by Carston Green. In came Charlie Holton, a journeyman manager with a bit of a reputation of bad tempered moments, he left previous employers Havermilly on bad terms. A first win came in Matchday 20 against Hadford Hill, but Carston Green still lie bottom on 13 points. Stanmorn lie 15th on 14 points, still lacking that cutting edge to get up the table. 14th is Butterfield Rovers, on 16 points and two off safety, but still willing to give John Clark time. Both Waldster and St Astons City have found some form to escape from immediate danger, with Batchingtonwood Rovers most vulnerable now.

Natfiser Super League

Part 5

Summary
With 5 games to go, and a 15 point lead for Bavingtor, the league title is merely a point away for the holders, but realistically, it was over a long time ago. Now the question remains, can they be unbeaten? Rivals Binclestead Wood gave it a good go on Matchday 21, but they were only able to salvage a point late on thanks to Dirk Russell, with Aston Lombardi opening the scoring for Bavingtor in the 80th minute. Loxthorpe Rovers have hit a stutter, with draws against Apsbrooke and Carston Green followed by a loss to Kings Lunsel. However, all of Binclestead Wood, Langmere Green Rovers and Marthorpe City could only find 8 points in the last 5, leaving the race for the IFCF Spots as it was 5 games ago. With nobody else making inroads on the Top 5 however, it looks very likely the Top 5 as is will be the ones off to the IFCF competitions next time up.

Back in the relegation race, and there’s another sacking. Butterfield Rovers seemed content to at least finish the season with John Clark, but after their winless streak extended to 11 and losing streak reached 7 thanks to a 4-0 capitulation at Waldster, he was sacked. Anthony Kingman comes in now, surely a few games too late to save Butterfield Rovers, now 9 off safety. Batchingtonwood Rovers fall to 15th, and on 20 points are 5 from safety with few games left to make up the gap. One point above them is Carston Green, but fans are hopeful that Charlie Holton has got the club into better form and could maybe make a late push to safety. 6th to 10th are separated by just 4 points, and all sides there look unlikely to have a chance at the IFCF spots, but also unlikely to go down. The S Club’s of Stanmorn, South Maishop and St Astons City are the ones looking nervously over the shoulder at the relegation zone.

Natfiser Super League

Part 6

Summary
Bavingtor wrapped up the title on Matchday 26, with an admittedly poor by their standards display against Apsbrooke. 2 missed penalties and conceding a late equaliser wasn’t a stellar performance, but it got them the Super League for a fourth time in a row. Not that their result mattered anyway, as Loxthorpe Rovers lost at Stanmorn. Loxthorpe Rovers however would deny Bavingtor the unbeaten season. A dubious Paul Amos red card for denial of goalscoring opportunity put Bavingtor up against it, and then 3 goals in the final 15 minutes ended the invincible dream. They’d follow up with a second loss at Kings Lunsel. A win against Bavingtor aside, Loxthorpe Rovers have stumbled. They go into the final Matchday 2nd, but only a point ahead of Binclestead Wood in 3rd. Loxthorpe Rovers need a win to guarantee an IFCF Champions League qualifying spot, or to at least match Binclestead Wood’s result. A loss gives the spot to Binclestead Wood if they avoid defeat. Marthorpe City are 4th, out of the race for the Top 2, but very likely to finish 4th if they avoid a final Matchday defeat. 5th is Langmere Green Rovers, aside from a 5-0 thrashing of Waldster in Matchday 29, haven’t looked the dominant force many hoped they’d be. Chances are 5th is where they’ll finish, at least IFCF football has been secured.

The relegation race is all settled now. A win for St Astons City on Matchday 29 was enough to relegate both Butterfield Rovers and Batchingtonwood Rovers, regardless of their own results. Carston Green fell to a late defeat at Stanmorn, and that was their survival chances gone. 6th to 13th are separated by just 7 points, so that part of the table could well be shaken up in the final Matchday, but this year the Final Matchday offers little excitement. Here are those fixtures:

Carston Green FC v Langmere Green Rovers FC
Waldster FC v Garden City FC
Binclestead Wood FC v South Maishop FC
Marthorpe City FC v Apsbrooke FC
Butterfield Rovers FC v Loxthorpe Rovers FC
Hadford Hill FC v Kings Lunsel FC
St Astons City FC v Batchingtonwood Rovers FC
Bavingtor FC v Stanmorn FC

Natfiser Super League

Part 7

Summary
On a final Matchday with little riding on it, there were some great games. Binclestead Wood took a lead in the 25th minute against South Maishop, thanks to young midfielder Reginald Parker. They were on course for 2nd, with Loxthorpe Rovers at one point down 3-1 at already relegated Butterfield Rovers. However Andrew Brocklehurst, one of Loxthorpe Rovers own youth products, put his stamp on the game and the Golden Boot, scoring a hat trick to take his side back to the IFCF Champions League qualifying rounds. Binclestead Wood’s eventual 2-0 win was in vain. Marthorpe City benefitted from the ever aggressive Alexander May ending his career in a red card, to win 1-0 over Apsbrooke. They were 4th, with Langmere Green Rovers win at relegated Carston Green merely a formality as they finished 5th. Bavingtor lifted the trophy after a 3-3 draw with Stanmorn, the 3 goal throwaway taking a bit of shine off of the final Matchday celebrations for the hosts.

Part 8
Flavovespia Gold Cup

A cup of many upsets this was not, after the thriller of last year. Only one side outside the top six tiers made it to Round 1 proper, and FC Faylake dropped the chance to go further, missing all their penalties in a shootout vs Narrock Community Sports. Last year’s semi finalists John’s Park were also out in Round 1, losing to Locksmith-on-Carron. Early upsets included Waldster Park United defeating Whittlesbury Wanderers in extra time, bridging a gap of 3 divisions. Third tier Old Marthorpe and Westwood also went out to non-league opposition, and Ellerstone United lost at home to local non-league side Ellerstone Aerodrome.

Round 2 saw one non-league side survive. Eastern Alliance D2 side Loxthorpe Green impressed to win at Eastern Alliance D1 side Capton Valley. 16 Super League sides entered, and only one would be eliminated here. That was Marthorpe City, suffering a 2-0 upset loss at Locksmith-on-Carron. Surprises were at a premium in this round, some credit though to Narrock Community Sports, who put 2 past Langmere Green Rovers, even if they did lose 2-5.

Round 3 saw one big upset. Déjà vu struck for Langmere Green Rovers, out again at this stage, losing at home 1-2 to Radstye Rangers of the third tier. Also suffering an upset loss were Carston Green, losing in extra time to North Mayshop of the Challenge League. Henhaven Islanders also produced an upset, bridging a one division gap to defeat Nailwood Mills, who themselves lifted the trophy not all that long ago. Loxthorpe Green had their journey ended, but fought hard, only losing 2-4 to South Maishop a full five tiers above them. Spare a thought for poor Alstone, who were 6-0 losers at Capton Club.

Round 4 saw every club outside the Super League eliminated. Batchingtonwood Rovers showed no mercy to take down Radstye Rangers 6-0. Loxthorpe Rovers had to dig deep to beat Henhaven Islanders 1-2. The contingent of 4 Challenge League sides also had their journeys come to end, ensuring the trophy will go to a top flight team, so no heroic underdogs now.

In the Quarter Finals, Loxthorpe Rovers kept their trophy defence up with a 0-3 win over a lacklustre Waldster side. Bavingtor weren’t at their best, but were still able to overcome Batchingtonwood Rovers 2-1. Butterfield Rovers produced a surprise result, ripping through Kings Lunsel to win 4-2. Binclestead Wood also moved on, with a close 0-1 win in Hadford Hill.

The semi final stage, and Butterfield Rovers vs Loxthorpe Rovers looked a relative mismatch given league performances. And it proved to be, the holders Loxthorpe Rovers won 1-4, and that wasn’t a flattering scoreline by any means. Then, Binclestead Wood hosted Bavingtor in a fierce derby semi-final. Binclstead Wood blunted the success of their neighbours, winning 2-0 to take a ticket to the final in Highland Road.

The final turned out to be a thriller. Amrik Singh opened the scoring in the 11th minute, with a flick in at the near post. David Hulme low driven effort doubled the lead in the 22nd minute. In the second half, Loxthorpe Rovers were fired up, and Philip Swales on the half volley halved the deficit in the 52nd minute. Amrik Singh was then brought down by Cliff Thompson, allowing Kloro McManus to come up from defence and restore a 2 goal lead, just a few minutes later. Then, in a 5 minute flourish, Philip Swales struck twice. 70 minutes gone, it was 3-3, and Swales had a hat trick. It was all in vain for the young winger and Loxthorpe Rovers though. Dirk Russell headed in a cross by Amrik Singh in the 75th minute to make it 3-4. Binclestead Wood held on, and lifted the cup, 5 years since the last time they did that.

Other Cups

The League Cup, the secondary cup competition, yielded some more success for smaller sides. Vale made it all the way to the semi finals, before eventually being defeated 2-0 by Binclestead Wood. In the other semi final, Hadford Hill needed just one goal to defeat rivals Waldster. City Arena hosted the final, and in the 74th minute, a close range effort by Mark Paul went in, and was enough for Hadford Hill to lift the trophy, another bit of silverware for a famous club that’s lacked some in recent years. In the Alliance Shield, it was the bigger names at the level having the most success. The final was contested by Floombury United and Galling Rangers 7AU, the latter would win with a single goal late in the first half.

Playoffs

The Challenge League playoffs had the excitement of Boll Lake Mariners and Nailwood Mills both pushing for a first ever promotion to the Super League. However, neither could do so. Nailwood Mills eliminated in the lower semi final to Boll Lake Mariners, and then Capton Club beat Boll Lake Mariners in the Eliminator. The final in Rovers Arena with Narrock Wood United vs Capton Club was one of the least close for many years. Capton Club ran riot, and were 0-4 up at the break. An early second half goal for Narrock Wood United gave little hope, and then Capton Club scored twice late on to really rub salt in the wound. In a season pundits thought could be open, it was all 3 relegated sides to the Challenge League who bounced straight back. Down the divisions, and Buchraston made it a return to the Challenge League for the first time in a decade, and Alstone bounced straight back to National League Division 1.
