Work and family commitments; postponements due to the weather and even traffic congestion en route to a game can affect our best laid plans. But for Andy it’s been more about the fixtures themselves. With plenty of grounds left ‘to do’ on his list, the games just don’t seem to match the times he wants to go. With this in mind he intends to holiday in Scotland at the start of next season. Surely the fixture gods will be kind to him when he returns to one of his favourite hopping places?

Tuesday 19 May - TT No.230: Mike Latham - 'The Cumberland County League runs five knock-out competitions with the Ken Glover Memorial Trophy staged at the end of the season.  It seemed strange to find that four quarter-final ties were being staged as late as 16th May but the choice was whittled down to St Margaret Mary’s FC, based in Carlisle. It proved to be something of an inspired decision for never have I witnessed a game played in such an unusual setting as this one'.

WebEd - FGIF are only too pleased to help... Thursday 14 May - TT No.229: Andy Gallon - 'Killie like to describe themselves (admittedly, there's not much competition), as 'The Pride of Ayrshire'. The 'new' Rugby Park is, indeed, a home fit for the county's heroes. Aesthetically, its clean, ordered lines are so much more appealing than the jumbled dilapidation which preceded it'.

United plan to invite Central Midlands League officials to inspect the proposed new venue, which does not, apparently, require much work to reach the required grading. United officials are keen to stress they do not have any plans to change the club's name to feature Driffield in the title, though they acknowledge the move could lead to bigger attendances. United drew 2-2 with Louth, who clinched the championship with the point they gained thanks to Sam Smith's 78th-minute equaliser'.
