A couple of non league snippets

[Irishadrian]

Concords Trophy game was called of on Saturday by the match referee just 55mins before KO

As a result of that  Hungerford who were to play Concord on Tuesday have had to postpone that match

So we both will have a free week before our clash on Saturday.

[Irishadrian]

Royston Town  who had a number of coaches which travelled to Concords ground on Sat have announced that all people who travelled  will be able to travel to the rearranged game on Tuesday free of charge Great gesture by a small club!

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

and also a way of ensuring a large royston support midweek .

[A Rebel and a Saint]

I believe it's a gesture from the owner of Concord Rangers. 

[Reading Rebel]

Possibly on the back of Saturday's game Dorking have signed keeper Sam Howes from Woking.

[Irishadrian]

RR Theyve also signed experienced full back Callum Kennedy from Billericay  and arranged a friendly with Whitehawk for tomorrow where all the first team squad will participate and is free to spectators  After we beat them on Sat theyve gained just 8 league points from the last 30 so Marc White is obviously worried.

Notts County, Harrogate, Halesowen (level 8), & Concord Rangers or Royston (level 7), the remaining clubs in the FA Trophy.

If Notts County draw Harrogate in the semi final, Concord Rangers could have a fantastic opportunity to make the Wembley Final.

Its Halesowen v Concord or Royston!

I think he said in the video that he's expecting all the injured players to be back for next week and should have a squad of 22 available.

Lets hope none of them get injured in the friendly.

Fantastic opportunity for Concord as I don’t recall a level 7 or 8 club ever making it to the FA Trophy Final.

[Irishadrian]

Although 20th out of 22 teams at present Billericay are the only team in our league unbeaten at home  Tomorrows fixture against against Havant and Waterlooville could be interesting and do us a favour! (Subject to a pitch inspection at 1300hrs)

Problem is even quick fix would cost thousands and take time so looks like they have no option but to play at neutral venues. This will surely harm their chances of staying up and even if they do can they actually afford to with their financial issues?

Tonbridge v Wealdstone postponed tonight, pitch still unplayable ?

They've pretty much ruled out any action on their pitch for the rest of the season. However the National League want to inspect it themselves before sanctioning moving to another venue. Hopefully it will be sorted long before we are scheduled to go there at the end of the month.

Oxford City have announced that David Oldfield has been appointed their new manager.

[GlenSTFC]

Unexpected appointment. Maybe he still lives in the area as he played for United a while back. I’m presuming he’s full time which if true and being on probably at least a 2 year contract that’s a big outlay for a crowd that struggles to get more than 250 home fans (full price) on a regular basis.

The acting manager over the last few months Andy Ballard becomes his assistant manager

As you might expect Tonbridge have a 9am pitch inspection ahead of their game against Eastbourne B.

[Reading Rebel]

Tonbridge game off.

[Irishadrian]

Maidenhead  were beaten 1-0 at York Rd today by Boreham Wood and have now dropped into the relegation zone.

Hemel Hempstead beat Dorking 1-0  their goal scored by James Dobson.

[Irishadrian]

League 2 leaders Swindon surprisingly beaten by Forest  Green R at home 0-2 Opening goal scored bt Matty Stevens

[Irishadrian]

Bath City full back Joe Raynes (stretchered off yesterday) has tweeted that a fractured ankle and broken leg have been confirmed after scans  I'm sure we all wish him a speedy recovery.
