Thanks Ms Postie for today's beauty of Russian Shoegaze

Then at 7pm it was West Vlanderen v East Vlanderen as KV Ardooie took on SV Sottegem, and it was the host Westerners who took the honours 4-2 in a penalty should out after finishing 2-2 after 90 minutes. Not a game to live in the memory, but Orval available in the club house 😍😍😍

First up was KSV Kortrijk 1-2 SC Roeselaere.

Newly promoted to the West Vlaanderen 2nd tier, KSV almost pulled off the shock against their 1st tier opponents who wasted so many chances.

Admission was 5 Euros, no paperwork

Sunday saw the opening (preliminary round) of the Belgian FA Cup (Croky Cup) and with games so it would have been rude not to a double.

Tuesday is Hampshire Day.

Why isn't there a public holiday???

Has to be said Glenn Donaldson and the gang have smashed it through the sublime brilliance ball park once again

A new album by The Red, Pinks and Purples?

Don't mind if I do

My first published book.
A tale of joy, love, heartbreak and unrequited love

2 years ago. Miss you every day. 😢

You never understood what makes me tick in the same way I never got your love of gardening and crafts, but I know even more now that you were immensely proud of me.

The visitors won by 5 wickets

Thanks to the band for re-issuing their debut album

Thanks to Mr Postie for delivering it safely

My ear drums are happy 😊

If you need a live album in your collection then if you can get this one from the late 1980s it's a must.

Has to be my biggest musical regret never seeing this band live

In time for our new season in the IsthmianLeague the Fareham Town fc fanzine "Up The Creek" is making a come back 😱.

Whether regularly or a one off remains to be seen.

On sale in readiness for the big kick off.

Eternal Blue by Humdrum
VHS by Castlebeat
Submarine Bells by the Chills

The win for the hosts sees them win the title and with it promotion to Cymru North.

Today's groundhopping was probably my last game of the season.

Started out last June with a Faroe Islands 3rd Division clash between B36 III and Skala III (7-4!) Played at the national stadium and ended at Llanrhaeadr Ym Mochnant 1-0 Forden United in the Central Wales League North

No new grounds for me, but looking forward to revisiting some crackers

If anyone fancies some football Saturday, the Hampshire League has their 2 Cup finals

Bank Holiday Monday morning #groundhopping took me to Surrey County Premier League and Addlestone 0-5 Wimbledon Casuals.

Att: 46
Admission and Programme: Don't be daft

Casuals the league champions were far too good, their first 2 goals in particular were worthy of much higher level than this.

Have you're paying Daz Dyer an appearance fee 😂

Saturdays #groundhopping saw me travel west to the quirky Victoria Bottom, home of Nanpean Rovers who were hosting Looe Town. 2nd v 1st, level on pts, 3 games to play. The visitors coming from behind to secure the 3 points to assure promotion 2-1.

Has to be said that Portsmouth and it's surrounds is home to some cracking breweries

Urban Island
Southsea
Staggeringly Good
Powder Monkey

To name just 4

Good afternoon everyone.

What a crazy 7 days it's been so time to let off some steam at The Brewers Tap, home of The Southsea Brewery.

First up is their black IPA - Lights Out

A lovely night for some silly season ground hopping, so up the A34 it was to Lambourn Sports 2-3 Down Ampney in the Wiltshire League. Ironic really as neither side are actually based in Wiltshire but Berkshire and Gloucestershire respectively.

What's this weird thing called promotion all about?

A lovely spring evening in the Cotswold

Gloucs County League
Chalford 2-1 Sharpness
Att: 128

Avonmouths' win elsewhere ended Sharpness title hopes anyway, but 2 goals in 3 minutes either side of the 80 min mark turned the game round in the hosts favour. The winner a controversial penalty.

What do you do on a day off from your vocation as a driver?

That's right, make a 500 mile round trip for midtable Northern Premier League Division 1 East "action" between Ossett United 0-1 Consett.

Att a healthy 406. And 1 strip out in securing the raffle prize
