The FA Cup game at the weekend was farcical with the offsides, delay delay delay, flag up. I cannot stand the premier league, but you have to want to be in it. I don’t watch the champions league either, but very big on my non league footy. 😊
Winchester City will stay where they are for next season the league below Sholing after losing their semi final at home to Shaftesbury 0-2. Like all the non league it is a one off game.
As the season died out for Saints women it was a cracking end to the game to grab a point against top of the table Charlton, who are having a little wobble. We finish the campaign away at Forest next Sunday.
We also lost Pompey out of the league, which would be funny in the men’s game, but not so much in the women’s game as it is a big fixture in the season lost and the chance to promote the women’s game on the south coast. With Bournemouth screwing up their promotion chances we will not have a south coast game next season.
With one game left it will be Watford joining us from the south and Burnley from the north (another game for me to go to) and there will be a playoff place for one other with a playoff between 2nd in each of the north and south leagues Plymouth v Wolves.
I would expect it will be another rebuild as it will be every season as the WSL clubs come in and flash the cash as well as Newcastle in our league. This is the unfortunate state we find ourselves in even in the women’s game as it is a career for them as well. So who know what next season will hold.
Correct kind sir Step 3 Sholing in the southern league premier south (division 7) and step 4 Winchester City in the southern league south (division 8). Could be in the same next season.
Worth mentioning that Sholing missed out on the playoffs even though the had a great 0-4 win at Dorchester they missed out to Berkhamsted who also won 2-0, and Sholing needed them to lose.
Winchester City are in the playoffs
