A thrilling match just after the Winter Solstice. But no knockout blow yet in the title race.

Swallownest (19-09-2023)
Swallownest MW 0 - 2 Retford (NCEL Cup), Tuesday 19th September 2023

Bromsgrove (26-08-2023)
Bromsgrove Sporting 0 - 2 Stamford (Southern League Central Premier), Saturday 26 August 2023
A trip down memory lane, to see one of King's Lynn's sparring partners in the Dr Martens League in the late 1990s. I believe we played them in the FA Cup en route to Rotherham. I hadn't realised the original Bromsgrove actually finished 2nd in the Conference once upon a time. This is a classic ground and nicely located near the town centre.

Lochar Thistle 3 - 0 Mid-Annandale (South of Scotland League), Saturday 8 April 2023
My 4th match in Scotland, taking in an exploration of Dumfries (burial place of Robert Burns), a wander round nearby Heathhall and my 1st South of Scotland match at Wilson Park. A beautiful day, a smooth drive from Cumbria and my first Saturday game since pre-Christmas!

Pinxton (21-03-2023)
Staveley Miners Welfare Reserves 1 - 4 Club Thorne Colliery (Central Midlands Floodlit Cup Final), Tuesday 21st March 2023 [AET]
The wettest and coldest match of the season, when I was absolutely soaked by the end. But a great match which went the distance, with Staveley only put to the sword in extra time. Shades of Barca-Chelsea 2000, and my first cup final attended since 2019.
