Karen - Thanks for that, it's a coincidence that the four Club's who will contest the Division One play-offs meet tomorrow afternoon, Amersham Town have come from nowhere winning their last eight League games:

Will be an epic fight in those playoffs. Wish I could watch those too. I'm invested in who is coming up!

You must be relieved that Real Bedford won the Championship as the play-off's are always a lottery and it is very rarely, if at all, the best, or most deserving, team of the four who get through, Amersham Town have to be the favourites the way they are playing.

[RallyInRaleigh]

Absolutely. Close it out on your own terms and don't let it come down to one bad performance after a hard fought season. Amersham have played so well down the stretch but Chenecks is quite tough too. Will be interesting to see how much they show each other in these final regular season clashes.

This one is mouth watering isn't it although Northampton ON Chenecks won both League meetings fairly comfortably:

Heck of a finish to the season for Amersham but it wasn't to be.

No sooner has the dust settled following the two Division One Play-Off Semi Final's on Tuesday and Wednesday than we are looking forward to the Final tomorrow afternoon at Billing Road, which way will it go:

Back to back! Nicely done by them. Pure joy on their faces is a sight to see. Hopefully they can keep pushing through the ranks with Bedford next season. I'm ready for some friendlies and next season already.
