Ah yes. A second half hat-trick following a 4-0 half time lead. October 2017? I was left disappointed. I hadn’t ever seen an ‘eight’ before and they had 21 minutes left to do it!

Kai Innocent has left Eastbourne Borough for Havant & Waterlooville.

And as soon as the clock hit 90 minutes the referee called time. It was outrageous. If I remember rightly all substitutions were made which was atleast 3 minutes to be added on.
It wasn't a cup game.
Goal difference can be crucial at the end of the season. If the referee felt sorry for Oxford he shouldn't be officiating that far up the pyramid. There is no room for that kind of sentiment in the game at this level and he should have stuck by the rules.
Imagine, come the end of that season, if we found ourselves on the cusp of automatic promotion only to fail on goal difference by one goal.

Ah, Mark Onyemah, what a great little player he was. Shame he got that injury. It really knocked the stuffing out of him.

Biggus Dickus first on the scoresheet.

James White rejoins Concord Rangers and James Rogers signs for Lydd Town.

Adam Cunnington is on the move again, this time leaving Enfield Town for Bedford Town.

Jake Robinson has signed for Worthing for another year.

Hardly a surprise given the proximity of the two clubs and how much less travelling he will have during the season as a result. Also probably offered more money at Billericay given the players they are signing.

Bishops Stortford's finances must be stretched to breaking point and they must be prime candidates for relegation

George Porter has left Dulwich Hamlet for Cray Wanderers and Alex Brown signs for SCEFL side Bearsted.

Bobby Dunn signs for St Albans

Only saw Bobby play once at PP and he was subbed at half time I think. I couldn’t understand that decision as I thought he played well. He is a good prospect

Not the best kept secret in football but good luck Connor, he was great for us:-

Absolutely PL, after watching Connor & Tom behind the goal against St Albans, you really get to appreciate their defensive skills. Good luck to Connor at his new club.

thats a really good point-i thought exactly the same.

Jack Smith has signed for Kings Lynn.

Always gave 100% for the Darts , IF we had a few tacklers in midfield then he would have done better with us but wish him well at Kings Lynn !!!!
