Maybe the Dockers should arrange a pre-season friendly versus Dieppe next year, the visitors wouldn't have too far to travel from the ferry.

Well it all starts for real down at Gorings Mead today, Horsham YMCA v. Eastbourne Town in the Southern Combination League, 3pm kick off. A warm welcome guaranteed for all who venture down.
Yep, just called off.

Finished 6-4 to Littlehampton. Four goals for last season's top scorer (and my boy's PE teacher) Joe Benn. Hilariously bad defending all round, but great entertainment.

Hope you enjoyed a pre match pint or two in the Sportsman.

Unfortunately I was driving today, but the very hospitable AFCV provided free hot drinks all round - which was a nice touch. It's a million miles away from the Premier League, that's for sure.

Bonkers games being called off in July!
Wasn't the only one though.......Deal Chatham was abandoned at half time.

Not strictly non league but made me chuckle over the weekend.......the ref got injured in the Albion Rovers Edinburgh game and they clearly don't have a fourth official....they carried on but with only one lino

Reading the twitter commentary on the situation is quite amusing.

Planning on visiting Sporting Bengal United in East London this weekend, as I'm doing a pub crawl in London, should be an interesting ground / club. A exciting tie in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round.

My mate described it as a quirky ground when we visited on Saturday for their SCFL debut!
Ground located via a pothole infested lane, met at the gate by a friendly chap who took our money before strategically parking the car behind the goal to avoid being hit by wayward shots, crosses, clearances!
One small seated stand of about 50 seats otherwise standing room only. For some reason there are a couple of containers filled with debris/rubbish at one end?!
The grass on the pitch was rather long but the game itself was a reasonable watch with Selsey winning 2.0.
Only 3 more grounds now to visit in SCFL Division 1, Hailsham, Roffey and Surrey based newcomers Godalming.

Am I right in thinking they playing at Oakwood’s ground in Crawley?

Yes this is correct

I noticed southwick appear to have got themselves together and reformed as afc southwick, groundsharing at whitehawk for the next two years and only one step below county league now
What happened there? I thought they were all set to return to Old Barn Way and then there was a furore over the players being "asked" to pay to play for the team which resulted in them leaving. Was the club dissolved? I'm not local so haven't been keeping up to date.
The ground-sharing is separate thing from the manager and players leaving en masse. It's just the works to Old Barn Way will take ages so they're ground-sharing in the meantime. The board wanted the players to pay their own FA registration fees for some peculiar reason as they said it showed commitment. The manager said it was a bad idea and he quit along with a load of the players and even some of the board members.
