The Official Lower/Local/Little Team Thread
Discussion
I preferred the away kit to be honest. Nice pics again though, nothing better than a trophy to celebrate....
Dreadful 5-1 defeat today at the hands of Roman Glass St George, by all accounts it was the worst performance under the new manager (four months). Puzzling as on Wednesday night against Wells City, they drew 2-2 and it took an absolute fluke last minute goal for Wells to even grab a point!
Three games to go and the season can't end quick enough. Away next Friday to the side that thrashed us today. Can't wait!
Well that was a turn up for the book.
Played the team we lost to 5-1 last weekend and after going two up in eight minutes, we eventually held on to win 2-1. Heard on the grapevine that no teams are going down from the lower division so we are safe from relegation although today's result would have meant we weren't going down anyway!!
Not been the best of seasons but after today's win and a fantastically supported Race Night tonight, the campaign is at least ending on something of an up.

I've felt for several weeks now that I was missing a thread somewhere in my Pistonheads and here it is; the place to celebrate lower league football.
My team, Oldland Abbotonians, have a new, enthusiastic and dynamic secretary this season.... me! Yes, I was offered the position during the summer and gladly accepted. I'll say one thing, the paperwork mountain is absolutely enormous. Especially as in two weeks time, we have an FA Vase game v Bradofrd Town which involves yet more red tape and paperwork.
How's the O's season going, I hear you ask? Not three bad really, a season of two halves already. Three games, three defeats to start with and all without scoring a goal. Then, out of nowhere, a lad who was playing for our new under-18s team was drafted into the first team and scored two on his debut on Wednesday night v Calne Town. Looks an exceptional prospect. Won 4-2 and then beat Wellington today 2-1, first time in three seasons we have won two on the bounce.
Difficult games this week coming up with two "local" derbies against Hengrove Athletic and Keynsham Town. That's it from me, I have to enter the match details in Mitoo, write a report on the referee, contact next week's official, sign two new players on, send off today's team sheet, update the league table etc etc etc etc....
Hope Oadby Town are doing well, Alfa?

Great day for Maidstone Utd as todays 0-0 draw with Dulwich Hamlet coupled with Hendons failure to win at Grays means they have effectively won the Ryman Premier League and gained promotion to the Conference League South. With a 20 plus gd its as good as in the bag as Hendon can now only match our points.
Great great day
Nice one Stinkfoot... Great great day
Had some rare old battles with Maidstone in our Conference days, were a very strong non-league team back in the day. Hope they get all the way back again...
