Copywriter and Kendal Town media man. Mainly talk about life as the latter, but may occasionally waffle on about whisky and the Lake District ⚫⚪ #nonleague #groundhopper

28.12.2024 10:00 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Had never heard of Tow Law Town before moving to the Northern League, but they've become one of my favourite clubs.
Fantastic little ground and great people (if only it was a tad warmer...).
📸☺️ A fab evening on Friday as we beat Penrith 4-2 in front of a bumper crowd.
Non league's great.
It's rare I actually catch goals, but got this one spot on from last night's win over Penrith.
Lovely overhead from Killer 🎥
Yeah...game off...😔

06.12.2024 09:20 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0We have a busy December at Kendal, with 4️⃣ of our next 5️⃣ games at home!
If any groundhoppers are in the area this month (or just fancy a trip), do give us a visit!
A 200 mile round trip Tuesday night win in the league cup...is rewarded with another 200 mile round trip on a Tuesday night in the league cup...🙄
Anyway, roll on Seaham.
A lovely 4-0 win this afternoon...and much needed #nonleague

But agreed; much prefer it here, and suspect I'll start using the club account soon (you might even prove to be the catalyst 😂).
It is, but currently dormant. Wanted to make sure we got the handle, but been waiting to see how this place takes off before using it.

For everyone else, the excellent @hoppersguide.com visited us in pre-season. You can read about his trip, here 👇

You're definitely not the only one! But not been so since 2000.
30.11.2024 08:36 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0If anyone's in the Cumbria area today, we (Kendal Town) are looking to keep up our play-off push at home to Birtley Town this afternoon.
Come and enjoy some top notch non league football! We're a friendly bunch, honest.
Floodlights in the fog at Altrincham for today's #FloodlightFriday
29.11.2024 19:59 — 👍 8 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Ah, this time last year. Looked like a cold one at home to West Didsbury & Chorlton. Don't remember the score, but 99.9% certain we lost; they always did a number on us.

Tomorrow we travel to Carlisle City for a rare derby game!
Our last visit was in the pre-season of 2023, when I managed to catch Martin Grundy's header in a 1-0 win.
🤞Fingers crossed it beats the weather.
Great to hear from our ladies team manager, Chris Miller, at the end of this week's Non League Cumbria show ☺️

Ah, feels like pitch inspection season gets earlier every year 🙄
Hope clubs aren't affected too badly this winter; can't stress enough how important it is to get games on (cashflow, fixture backlogs, travelling, etc).
It was great to see more groundhoppers at Parkside Road on Saturday! Seeing their photos, blogs and videos reminds us what makes us (and non league) so special and genuinely reinvigorates our love for the old place 🏠
Thanks guys 🫡
Can confirm that this dog is OBSESSED. You should see it watch snooker (genuinely) 🐶🖤🤍
17.11.2024 16:28 — 👍 4 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0This Northern League is brutal. One minute you're in the play off spots with games in hand, the next you're 6️⃣ points behind.
Still a long way to go!
So where are we all off to today?
We're at home to Crook Town this afternoon, if anyone fancies visiting us in the Lakes! #nonleague
