Southend Utd 0-0 Wealdstone Southend win 4-2 on pens. Part two. Another poor game, played more like an end of season friendly but it matters not as Southend get their hands on the trophy. #FATrophy

AFC Stoneham 0-0 Cockfosters Stoneham win 4-2 on pens Part one of a dire non league finals day. Stoneham were particularly poor for a team who won their league at a canter and scored plenty of goals. They set up from the off like they were playing for penalties. #FAVase

Rusthall 1-1 Punjab Utd Punjab promoted to step 4! Unreal scenes as Punjab win the shootout 4-3. The game was as tense and nervous as you like but came alive in extra time where Rusthall led before being pegged back. @fcrusthall.bsky.social @punjabunitedfc.bsky.social @scefl.bsky.social

Soham Town Rangers 1-1 Fakenham Town Fakenham win promotion with a 7-6 penalty shootout victory. Decent game, both goals well taken and the players ran themselves into the ground in a tight contest. #SohamTownRangersFC #FakenhamTownFC #EasternCountiesPrem

AFC Croydon Athletic 1-1 AFC Whyteleafe. Playoff finals time in non-league football. Two teams going for it, Whyteleafe ending with 10, a saved penalty that in the aftermath saw another penalty given, this one scored and Whyteleafe getting promoted winning 5-4 on pens. @isthmianleague.bsky.social

Larkhall Athletic 2-0 Mousehole Decent game in the Somerset sunshine. Very friendly club at Larkhall in a beautiful setting. Both teams missed chances first half before Larkhall finally took one early second half then scored a penalty. @larkhallafc.bsky.social #MouseholeAFC #SouthernLeague

Bath City 2-3 Maidstone Utd Magnificent football ground that got a very decent game as Maidstone tried for a playoff place but fell just short. Bath shocked their opponents going 2 up but couldn't hold out the 2nd half charge. @bathcityfc.bsky.social @maidstoneunited.bsky.social #NationalLeagueSouth

Banstead Athletic 1-0 Rochester United. A deserved win for the home side who created a lot of chances but could only put one away. Rochester tried to play passing football on a very bobbly, dry pitch. #BansteadAthleticFC @rochesterunited.bsky.social @scefl.bsky.social

Aldershot Town 0-2 Southend United All the hard work done in the 1st half as Southend played some lovely stuff. Second half saw Aldershot have more of a go but a comfortable night on the road. @theshots.bsky.social @southendunited.bsky.social #NationalLeague

Cockfosters 1-1 AFC Welwyn An even first half but Cockfosters dominated the second. Better play in the final third would have seen the home team take the points but it wasn't to be. #CockfostersFC #AFCWelwyn #SpartanSouthMidlandsLeague

Sutton Utd 0-3 Southend Utd As easy an away day as I've ever seen Southend have in the spring sunshine. Sutton offered absoutlely nothing and gifted Southend the opening two goals. #SuttonUnitedFC @southendunited.bsky.social #NationalLeague

Horsham YM 1-2 Roffey YM played some nice football but seemed more intent on kicking lumps out of the opposition, unsurprisingly they finished the game with 10. They were then undone by their own mistakes at the back. #HorshamYMFC #RoffeyFC #SouthernCombination

Binfield 1-2 Southall Entertaining game where both teams tried to attack as much as possible. Lots of missed chances but Southall edged it, the winner being a beautiful curled effort from the left hand edge of the box. @binfieldfc.com #SouthallFC @isthmianleague.bsky.social

Southport 1-3 Southend United Que Sera Sera and all that. Fantastic atmosphere as Southend turned it on second half to salvage the FA Trophy Semi Final. Charlie Kendall's 2nd was a peach turning defenders inside out before smashing it in. #SouthportFC @southendunited.bsky.social #FATrophy

Everton Women 2-3 Liverpool Women Everton didn't turn up first half and Liverpool took full advantage. A more even 2nd saw Liverpool reduced to 10 with Everton then throwing everything at their neighbours, but they couldn't salvage a point. @women.evertonfc.com #LiverpoolWomenFC #WomensSuperLeague

Jarvis Brook 1-2 Infinity A decent watch where Infinity should have had a bigger winning margin but missed a few chances then conceded late to give Jarvis Brook hope. Lovely burger off the barbecue in the sunshine at a very friendly club #JarvisBrookFC #InfinityFC #SouthernCombination

Stanway Rovers 1-0 Gorleston A non-descript first half was followed by a much better 2nd that got fiesty and ended up with Stanway down to 10 men. The best pass of the match was finished off to win it in the 88th minute @stanwayrovers.bsky.social @gorlestonfc.bsky.social @isthmianleague.bsky.social

Port Vale 1-0 Sunderland A superb atmosphere at Vale Park as the FA Cup produced another bit of magic. Fully deserved result as the Premier League team didn't offer much and found Vale tough to break down. #PortValeFC @safc.com #FACup

Carlisle United 2-2 Southend United A very unlikely comeback is always nice on the longest away trip of the season. Another dreadful 1st half showing but a fantastic comeback from two down in 2nd. @carlisleunited.bsky.social @southendunited.bsky.social #NationalLeague

Abbey Vale 0-2 Dalbeattie Star Picturesque little ground, really friendly people and a very decent game. Controlled by Dalbeattie, esepically the 2nd half, they showed why they've only conceded 6 league goals all season. #AbbeyValeFC #DalbeattieStarFC #SouthofScotlandLeague

Southend United 1-1 Truro City A first half performance as bad as anything seen in the Kevin Maher era, the second improved but not by enough to take the points. Very lucky Truro missed most of the very good chances they created. @southendunited.bsky.social @trurocity.bsky.social #NationalLeague

Punjab United 1-0 Downton What a huge result for Punjab as they made the FA Vase semi finals. A tense affair saw Downton reduced to 10 just before half time but it took an 87th minute bullet header to defeat the resolute visitors. @punjabunitedfc.bsky.social #DowntonFC #FAVase

Sporting Bengal United 3-0 Frenford A comfortable evening for Bengal at Barking in another switched game. Frenford barely threatened and even wasted a penalty, tamely hitting it at the keeper. @sportingbengal.bsky.social #FrenfordFC @essexsenior.bsky.social

Uxbridge 5-1 Weymouth A walk in the 3g park for Uxbridge as they easily swept aside a very poor Weymouth side. Moore with a hattrick which included a direct freekick in an excellent display. @uxbridgefc.bsky.social #WeymouthFC #SouthernPremierSouth

Rochester Utd 4-2 Greenways Game was played at Ashford United due to the non-stop rain for the last 2 months. More dreadful conditions but a game high on entertainment, some quality goals and Rochester played some really decent football. @rochesterunited.bsky.social #GreenwaysFC @scefl.bsky.social

Southend United 5-1 Morecambe As poor as Morecambe were that was a superb performance from Southend today. Took the game to them and put away most of the chances. Goal of the game went to Morecambe, stunner from 25 yards out. @southendunited.bsky.social @morecambefc.bsky.social #NationalLeague

SE Dons 2-1 AFC Greenwich Borough An excellent watch, some good football on display and got a bit fiesty. Down to 10 men Dons defended well and then got a gift from the Greenwich keeper for the winner. #SEDonsFC #AFCGreenwichBorough @scefl.bsky.social

AFC Sudbury 0-1 Spalding United. Sudbury did not manage a shot on target but there wasn't much between these two. Spaldings goal came from a bad defensive error and I was expecting more from the team top of the table. @afcsudbury.bsky.social #SpaldingUnitedFC #SouthernPremierCentral

Prescot Cables 1-1 Workington If you don't take your chances you get punished. Workington dominated the game but were undone in the 88th minute as Cables scored from a corner. Fantastic ground with really friendly locals. @prescotcables.bsky.social @workingtonafc.bsky.social @thenpl.bsky.social

Metropolitan Police 2-2 Moneyfields Very entertaining game with both sides playing some really good football. Moneyfields had more of the play but needed equalisers at the end of each half to get a point from the game. #MetropolitanPoliceFC #MoneyfieldsFC @isthmianleague.bsky.social

Bedfont Sports 1-0 Ascot United Ascot were the better side here but were poor in front of goal and Bedfont made them pay with one of the few chances they created. The prefect ground for planespotters. #BedfontSportsClub #AscotUnitedFC @isthmianleague.bsky.social

Merthyr Town 2-0 Peterborough Sports What a magnificent football ground, up there with the best. The game saw a lot of missed chances before Merthyr scored a fine goal 20 mins from time and with Sports down to 10 they closed the game out. @themartyrs.bsky.social #PeterboroighSportsFC #NationalLeague

Bradford Town 5-0 Newquay AFC Turned up at Bath City at 2:15pm to find out their playable pitch was actually unplayable. Thanks. Bradford Town instead got our custom. One sided game with some cracking goals. 4 of them from Jensen Wakefield. #BradfordTownFC #NewquayAFC @westernleague.bsky.social

Walton & Hersham 2-0 Gosport Borough A more comfortable win I doubt I'll see all year. W&H look a very, very decent side and weren't troubled even when Gosport went all out attack from around an hour in. #Walton&HershamFC #GosportBoroughFC #SouthernPremierLeagueSouth

Southend United 1-0 Sutton United Pretty dire game but at least Southend got the win. Sutton goalkeeper was very decent including saving a penalty which fortunately was turned in by Scott-Morriss on the rebound. @southendunited.bsky.social #SuttonUnitedFC #NationalLeague

Bexhill United 0-2 Little Common Bexhill dominated possession but did very little with it. They were hit by an early goal and never really looked like getting back in the game. A defensive cock up saw Little Common put the game to bed. #BexhillUnitedFC #LittleCommonFC #SouthernCombination

Tamworth 2-1 Southend United A quite dreadful first half performance set the tone for Southend in this one. Much improved 2nd half but far too many missed chances were punished by Tamworth who deserved the points. @southendunited.bsky.social #TamworthFC #NationalLeague

Coton Green 1-1 Northwich Victoria At the start of the second half a calamitous error by the Northwich keeper gifted Coton the lead. Dogged defending from the home side was undone by a fantastic header in the 94th minute. #CotonGreenFC @officialnvfc.bsky.social #MidlandLeaguePremier

Crystal Palace 2-2 KuPs Kuopio Palace dominated this game without creating much before finding themselves behind as KuPs scored 2 goals in 3 minutes. Aided by a bad tackle that put KuPs down to 10 they rescued a point late on. #CrystalPalaceFC #KuPs #UEFAConferenceLeague

Brantham Athletic 2-3 Mildenhall Town So near and yet so far for Brantham. In all honesty they didn't deserve anything from the game but Mildenhall wasted chance after chance before finding the winner in the 90th minute. #BranthamAthleticFC #MildenhallTownFC @isthmianleague.bsky.social

Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 Slavia Prague Routine win for Tottenham which would have seen a larger margin if not for a superb performance from the Slavia keeper, some quite exceptional saves through the game. @tottenhamhotspur.com @slaviaprague.bsky.social #ChampionsLeague

Watford 3-2 Norwich City Very entertaining game in which Norwich were deservedly ahead at half time. For some reason though they came out in the 2nd and decided to time waste from the off. Watford punished them for sitting back and took the points. @watfordfc.bsky.social @canaries.co.uk #EFL

Seaford Town 2-1 Pagham Entertaining game played in testing conditions. Pagham didn't really wake up until going two down then also got a man advantage as Seaford went down to 10 but couldn't salvage a point due to some great defending. #SeafordTownFC #PaghamFC #SouthernCombination

Halstead Town 3-3 Benfleet Halstead will feel they should have been comfortably ahead at half time only to see the score 1-1. Cue a bit of a bonkers 2nd half in heavy rain and Benfleet twice more pegging back Halstead to get a point. @halsteadtownfc.bsky.social #BenfleetFC @essexsenior.bsky.social

Whitstable Town 4-2 Bearsted Superb game of football. Whitstable took and early two goal lead before Bearsted hit back and should have been ahead at half time. Whitstable made some adjustments 2nd half and ran out winners @whitstabletownfc.bsky.social @bearstedfc.bsky.social @scefl.bsky.social

Pictures 2/2

Had a little tour of Borough Park courtesy of the chairman. Such a fantatsic ground staffed by very friendly people, a great club. Pictures 1/2

Workington 3-2 Hyde Utd Excellent performance from Workington, more than deserved the win and Kai Nugent had a great game. Fantastic to finally get to Borough Park, beautiful old ground, such a friendly club. @workingtonafc.bsky.social @hydeunitedfc.bsky.social @thenpl.bsky.social

Reading 2-3 Carlisle Utd Where did this come from?!? 2-0 in the 92nd minute, Reading were very comfortable until they conceded, then they fell apart. In extra time there was only one winner as Reading barely threatened. @readingfcofficial.bsky.social @carlisleunited.bsky.social #FACup

Buckhurst Hill 1-0 Soul Tower Hamlets One piece of quality won this, a 20 yard direct freekick put top corner, in a game otherwise lacking in much. The burger was the highlight of the whole evening. #BuckhurstHillFC #SoulTowerHamletsFC @essexsenior.bsky.social
