Alfreton Town 1-0 Chorley (National League North) It's the business end of the season and time is running out for Alfreton Town who are down in the relegation places and fighting for survival in a division they have been in since 2015. Cut adrift it all looks a big ask if they are to stay up with seven points needed to gain even a punchers chance of keeping at the weight they are currently at, against Chorley tonight, they take on a team with little to play for but pride and

Leicester City 0-1 Brighton & Hove Albion  (Women’s Super League) I got back at 11:45pm which I didn’t think was too bad after leaving Hampden Park shortly after 7. The boxing on the radio ensured my drive south would go quickly, well done to Moses Itauma, is he really the real deal? The clocks have gone back, so I’ve lost an hour as I take the dog for a walk on Sunday morning, the wife has gone to stock up at her monthly Boots shop, I do get chance to at least have a cuppa w

Scotland 0-1 Japan  (Friendly) I’ve cut short my enjoyment at Albion Rovers to beat the traffic and head down the M73 and M74 towards Hampden Park from Coatbridge, I’m wanting to get there a couple of hours ahead of kick off so I can park up in a little spot I know which has a decent exit strategy for getting back home to England 'more' quickly. My last viewing of Scotland was ‘that match’ against Denmark. I said to myself the journey was too long to keep doing but the money

Albion Rovers 0-1 Clydebank (Lowlands League) I've got a bit of time on my hands today ahead of Scotland's match with Japan later this afternoon so I'm thinking why not check out some potential games I can attend? Amongst them, Albion Rovers are at home to Clydebank in a 1pm kick off and the town of Coatbridge where Albion play is just twenty minutes from Hampden, pretty much enroute from Dundee, so an easy decision made, I'm out of my hotel for 11am and back down the A9 pas

Scotland U21 0-0 Czechia U21 (UEFA U21 European Championship Qualifiers) The price of fuel is going up, but my road trips seem to be getting longer, something probably has to give, it's time perhaps to stay local for a while, but before that, I'm travelling to Scotland, to cover the national team in both U21 and full internationals this weekend. The U21's are in Dundee tonight and the only ever previous time I have been in the city was when passing through on a train to cove

Morecambe 2-3 Hartlepool United (National League) Boston to Morecambe is just short of 200 miles so it's another lengthy road trip East to West between fifth tier stadiums as less than 24 hours do I watch one National League match between two evenly balanced teams, do I take on another viewing, between two with varied ambition this season. Morecambe are in a relegation battle after a turbulent couple of years, the Panjab Warriors expected bigger and better upon their late ta

Boston United 2-2 Altrincham (National League) It was a tale of two penalties the last time these two teams met earlier in the season at Moss Lane. Jordi Hiwula missed his spot kick for Boston on 32 whilst only four minutes later Elliot Osborne scored his, to give Altrincham a 1-0 home win in November. Tonight's game is likely to be another tight affair, Boston in thirteenth are a point above Alty in fourteenth but the Pilgrims did get beat 6-2 against Carlisle at the weeken

Leicester City 1-2 Aston Villa  (Women’s Super League) I raced back from Braintree last night to pick up a takeaway from Cuzina which is a nice Greek Restaurant close to the City Ground and Trent Bridge, home for 7:30pm the wife put the new Peaky Blinders film on Netflix and we both fell asleep to wake up and find Tommy Shelby was dead.   Spoiler alert! Today is another game of football and one at least a little closer to my south Nottingham home, half hour away in Leicester

Braintree Town 2-3 Scunthorpe United  (National League) I’m knackered today, after getting back from Denmark via Bristol around 9pm last night, I’m back down south for a National League match this afternoon, a couple of hours and more journey time I need to be heading off for 11am, so after a quick dog walk and recharge with full flask of coffee I’m heading to Essex, to watch a couple of sides I’ve seen a bit of this season. Nicknamed the Iron, Braintree are in the relegation

Midtjylland 1-2 Nottingham Forest (UEFA Europa League Round of 16 Second Leg) *0-3 pens aet Mid-Jutland is the central section of Denmark's largest peninsula. Translated to Midtjylland in Danish, the area is home to a team that was only founded as recently as 1999 when both Ikast FS and Herning Fremad joined forces. Based in Herning, Midtjylland are the region's formidable force and are one to be reckoned with amongst Europe's elite, having spent the last 25 years in the Sup

Leamington 0-1 Buxton (National League North) The start of a busy week as I head to Denmark for a Europa League match between Midtjylland and Forest on Thursday, before games at Braintree and Leicester over the weekend, I'm off to Boston then Morecambe next week before covering two Scottish international matches north of the border, the silly season is here as football compresses into the final few months where the business end separates the men (and women) from the boys (an

Alfreton Town 0-2 Peterborough Sports  (National League North) The games are coming thick and fast as we reach the business end of the season and perhaps under the grand scheme this is the most important non-league match I’ve covered so far in 2026, both Alfreton Town and Peterborough Sports are battling for their lives in the National League North relegation zone and should either lose ground on those above today, it’ll heap pressure on their survival chances with little mor
