CPD Bangor City 1876 5-1 Porthmadog What a fantastic game of football, incredibly open and the last 3 Bangor goals were bangers. Creamer scored 2 of them, one from 30 yards and then from all of 40 yards he looked up and lobbed the keeper. #BangorCity1876 @cpdporthmadog.bsky.social #ArdalNorthWest

Morecambe 0-3 Southend Utd Comfortable win as Southend took their chances. Boyes crossing continues to be magnificent and Spasov looks a real find. Morecambe are in for a long season on this showing. @morecambefc.bsky.social @southendunited.bsky.social #NationalLeague

Haywards Heath Town 7-0 Lancing This scoreline would have perhaps been less lopsided had Lancing not kept playing so high and leaving lots of space at the back. Credit to Haywards Heath though who took their chances superbly. #HaywardsHeathTownFC @lancingfc.bsky.social #SouthernCombination

AFC Totton 1-1 Truro City A slow burner of a game that Truro grew into and got a deserved equaliser in the last 10 minutes. Jay Emmanuel-Thomas crashed a 93rd minute penalty against the bar for a replay. Lovely ground, well worth a visit. @afctotton.bsky.social @trurocity.bsky.social #FACup

Basildon Utd 2-2 Soul Tower Hamlets Basildon took a surprising two goal lead inside 12 minutes and were the better team in the 1st half. STH were much improved 2nd half and claimed a point with 2 goals in the last 5 minutes. @basildonunited.bsky.social #SoulTowerHamletsFC @essexsenior.bsky.social

Woking 2-2 Truro City So near and yet so far for Truro. They had more chances throughout and finally led in the 88th minute before shooting themselves in the foot and giving away a penalty from the restart. @trurocity.bsky.social @wokingfc.bsky.social #NationalLeague

Southend Utd 0-2 Scunthorpe Utd The achilles heel of this Southend side showed yet again as a very well drilled Scunny side could not be broken down. Once again switched off at the start of the 2nd half to gift goals. @southendunited.bsky.social @sufcofficial.bsky.social #NationalLeague

Punjab Utd 1-1 Phoenix Sports A full blooded affair which unsurprisingly ended with both teams down to 10 men. Punjab had the better of the game, especially in the first half but the Phoenix keeper had a superb game. @punjabunitedfc.bsky.social @phoenixsportsfc.bsky.social @scefl.bsky.social

Eastbourne United 2-0 Halls Athletic A pretty straight forward FA Vase win for the home side who dominated the first half, took a two goal lead and then comfortably held off Halls who improved in the second half but lacked a cutting edge. #EastbourneUnitedAFC #HallsAthleticFC #FAVase

Chipstead 0-4 Reading City Chipstead will come away from this wondering how the scoreline was so one sided, they played the better football but could not take their chances. Reading scored some fabulous goals. #ChipsteadFC @readingcityfc.bsky.social #CombinedCounties

Stansted 2-0 Dunmow Town If only Dunmow had, had any kind of composure in the penalty area they may have had a chance of winning this game. Stansted had far less chances, but they took them and won. #StanstedFC #DunmowTownFC #EasternCountiesSouth

Punjab Utd 3-1 Sutton Athletic Sutton could not handle the aerial ability of Punjab as they won the battles in both boxes, all 3 goals came from headers. Sutton had two sin binned in the final 5 mins as they got frustrated @punjabunitedfc.bsky.social @scefl.bsky.social #SuttonAthleticFC

AFC Greenwich Borough 2-1 SC Thamesmead A first half in which Greenwich should have had a lead but managed to go in level after giving away a penalty. The second Thamesmead were the better team but got caught out on a Greenwich break. @afcgreenwichb.bsky.social @scefl.bsky.social #SCThamesmeadFC

Rochester United 2-0 Staplehurst Monarchs A dominant display from Rochester, especially in the 2nd half as they made it 5 out of 5 in the league. They played some really good passing football as well. @rochesterunited.bsky.social @staplehurstmon.bsky.social @scefl.bsky.social

Coleshill Town 2-1 Worcester Raiders FA Cup action in driving rain. The home team should have been out of sight by half time but came in 0-0. They then found themselves one down before throwing everything at Raiders before finding an 89th minute winner. #ColeshillTownFC #WorcesterRaiders #FACup

Solihull Moors 1-2 Southend United A game dominated by Southend but they were nearly made to pay for not taking chances when Solihull equalised. Andrew Dallas was excellent today, movement, link up play, finishing, great performance. #SolihullMoorsFC @southendunited.bsky.social #NationalLeague

Gresford Athletic 0-4 Llandudno An easy evenings work for Llandudno as Gresford offered very little. Some nice goals among them including a well worked freekick which was smashed home from 25 yards out. @gresfordathleticfc.com #LlandudnoFC #CymruNorth

Chorley 4-0 King's Lynn Town An incredibly ill disciplined display by King's Lynn sees Chorley win comfortably. They were down to 10 men inside 2 minutes with the first reckless challenge of the afternoon. Wonderful ground and a very decent atmosphere. #ChorleyFC #King'sLynnTownFC #NationalNorth

Rangers Women 2-2 Hearts Women Entertaining game in which Hearts should have been far ahead at half time. Only 1 up they found themselves behind as Rangers improved in the second half before salvaging a draw in the 87th minute. @rangerswfc.bsky.social #HeartsWFC #SWPL

Stranraer 1-1 Clyde Low on quality high on entertainment. Plenty of chances created by both sides but just the two goals. Clydes manager was sent off for stopping a Stranraer player taking a throw in. @stranraerfc.org @clydefc.bsky.social @spflofficial.bsky.social

East Stirlingshire 1-5 Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic Shire had some chances but were poor all over the pitch. Bonnyrigg fully capitalised by putting them to the sword. Some really good goals including a wonderful direct freekick. #EastStirlingshireFC @bonnyriggrosefc.bsky.social #LowlandLeague

Southend United 0-0 York City No goals but a quality game. York seemed quite happy to just pass it about amongst themselves while there was more intent from Southend. Harry Boyes looks a fantastic signing. @southendunited.bsky.social #YorkCityFC #NationalLeague

Eastbourne Borough 0-1 Dover Athletic A tale of two halves as Eastbourne fail to take any chances in the first. Dover scored moments into the second, it seemed to shell shock Eastbourne who really should have ended up losing by more. #EastbourneBoroughFC #DoverAthleticFC #NationalSouth

Southend United 2-0 Tamworth Solid win for Southend against a hard working, well drilled Tamworth. An early penalty save from Collin set the tone as Kendall's deft header and Gus with another backpost beauty sealed the points. @southendunited.bsky.social #TamworthFC #NationalLeague

Erith Town 0-2 AFC Whyteleafe Erith did everything but score in this game including having a penalty saved. Whyteleafe goals were superb team moves and when they turned it on their pass and move was levels above. @erithtown.bsky.social #AFCWhyteleafe @isthmianleague.bsky.social

Bedford Town 2-2 Alfreton Town Bedford make their National North bow. Alfreton were the more controlled and better in possession but decided to stop playing when going 2-1 up and paid for it as Bedford bundled in a 93rd minute equaliser. @bedfordtownfc.bsky.social #AlfretonTownFC #NationalNorth

Benfleet 0-1 Leighton Town Much like the first encounter there was a lot of huffing and puffing but not much quality. When finally a superb corner was swung in it was headed home to take Leighton into the next round. #BenfleetFC #LeightonTownFC #FACup

Stansfeld 0-4 Harrow Borough Not as one sided as the scoreline suggests, Harrow were clinical, including a 20 minute hattrick from Chendlik. Stansfeld had chances and the Harrow keeper made some excellent saves to come away with a clean sheet. @harrowborough-fc.bsky.social #StansfeldFC #FACup

Leighton Town 1-1 Benfleet The FA Cup starts again. The visitors will be very happy to get a replay after scoring early and then soaking up a lot of pressure. The away keeper made an obligatory FA Cup wonder save first half and Leighton couldn't force a winner. #FACup #LeightonTownFC #BenfleetFC

Staveley Miners Welfare 1-0 Pinxton The first half was dominated by the hosts who should have led by more. The second was a scrappy affair in which neither team looked like adding to the scoreline. #StaveleyMinersWelfare #PinxtonFC #UnitedCounties

Gresley Rovers 2-1 Melton Town A game of two halves in a wonderful ground. First was scrappy and saw Melton down to ten men. Second was an excellent game of football which Gresley deserved to win. Melton keeper will not want to see Gresley first goal back. #UnitedCounties #GresleyRovers #MeltonTown

Great Yarmouth Town 0-0 Lakenheath Season opener with a game in which Yarmouth did everything but score. Chance after chance went begging, poor finishing, good goalkeeping and four off the line. Lakenheath went down to 10 early in the 2nd half but still they couldn't force a goal. #EasternCounties

Oldham Athletic 3-2 Southend United (AET) On the balance of the game the correct result. I still don't know how we snuck into the playoffs, let alone the final. Massive congrats to Oldham, a proper club, who like us have suffered for far too long. #OldhamAth #Playoffs @southendunited.bsky.social

US Gravelines 1-0 AFC Compiegne The away side came into this game with a chance to win the division but were very poor including gifting the home side the only goal when one defender struck the ball against another, going through to a forward who would have been otherwise offside. #FrenchFootball

FCV Dender E.H 2-2 KV Mechelen A first half full of incident with Mechelen down to 10 after just 14 minutes but already a goal up. Poor defending cost Dender as they twice had to fight back. The 2nd was attack v defence and the Mechelen defence won. #JupilerProLeague #FCVDender #KVMechelen

FC Axel 6-5 VV RCS Where do I even begin with this game! After chatting to a home supporter he told me we'd picked a good game here because "both these teams like to attack, you'll never see these defend" He wasn't wrong! Some screamers, some poor defending and a 87th minute penalty winner.

✍️ How do you even begin to sum up a night like that?!

QUE SERA SERA

A COMEBACK FOR THE AGES 🤩

Hackney Wick 2-0 Rayleigh Town. 1st half saw Hackney deservedly lead by two goals. 2nd saw Rayleigh come back at them but couldn't take their chances, including a ridiculous stutter stop penalty that the ref rightly deemed against the rules and gave Hackney a freekick instead.

Aldershot Town 3-0 Spennymoor Town. Spennymoor will rue their missed chances in the first half, it was all Aldershot in the 2nd as they ran out comfortable winners. The 3rd goal was a banger. @theshots.bsky.social @spennymoortown.bsky.social #FATrophy

AFC Whyteleafe 1-2 Whitstable Town (AET) That was a quality final, two teams who gave their all and played some great football. Both keepers made superb saves to take this game to extra time before a 100th minute winner takes the cup to Kent. @whitstabletownfc.bsky.social #AFCWhyteleafe #FAVase

Soul Tower Hamlets 0-0 Forest Hill Park/SE Dons. Tower Hamlets win 5-4 on pens. (At Corinthian FC) A typical playoff final, a tense affair in which the best chances were squandered. The shootout saw some great pens before a Dons player blazed over and STH wrapped up promotion. #SCEFL #Playoffs

Dartford 4-3 Cray Valley Paper Mills. AET A good night of football here! The game turned with a penalty and red card for Cray with Dartford two down. A 95th minute freekick forced extra time as Dartford threw everything at Cray. @isthmianleague.bsky.social @crayvalleypm.bsky.social #DartfordFC

VCD Athletic 2-0 Punjab Utd. We've reached playoff time for the season, semi final of SCEFL Prem. Punjab had more of the ball but couldn't fashion enough clear openings to trouble a very good VCD defence. The first goal was an absolute screamer. @punjabunitedfc.bsky.social #VCDAthletic #SCEFL

Brackley Town 5-0 Farsley Celtic. The most one sided game I've seen in a long time as Brackley win the National North. Farsley never looked like doing anything other than trying to keep the score down and managed a straight red in the 20th minute. @brackleytownfc.bsky.social #FarsleyCeltic

Weston Super Mare 0-2 Truro City. Massive win for Truro to set up a huge last day. A nod to the ref here who for both goals made really good decisions. An advantage for the first and coming back to award a blatant penalty deep in added on time at the end. @trurocity.bsky.social #WestonSuperMareFC

Launceston 0-1 Callington Town. Only ground I've ever seen with a wind turbine in one corner! Game was nothing to shout about, Callington clearly the better team but could only take one chance. #LauncestonFC #CallingtonTown #SouthWestPeninsulaLeague

Bodmin Town 0-3 Dobwalls. A fairly one sided affair but the Bodmin goalkeeper had a fine game making some incredible saves to deny the Dobwalls forwards. #BodminTown #DobwallsFC #SouthWestPeninsulaLeague

Wadebridge Town 1-1 Camelford. The River Camel derby, may as well have been played in the river considering the conditions! Very entertaining game as both teams gave everything. #WadebridgeTown #CamelfordFC #SouthWestPeninsulaLeague
