News from around the National League South

[Grassbank]

Our leaguer struggles on with just four of the eight scheduled games likely to take place today and only one with the possibility of spectators. What a miserable scenario. The wider lockdown restrictions now see teams with far lower rates in their locality stopped from admitting spectators. This has the potential of lasting for months whilst the data remains unchallenged in the main stream. Disappointing to note that the GOV.UK site that I take data from shows the rate in Oxford at exactly the same level as on 6-Dec and the rate in Dorking exactly the same as on 29-Nov.

For what it is worth, I list below the rates at the PP post code and also those of the post codes where games were due to be held today. Matches at the top four venues are currently on and the bottom four already cancelled. I doubt that he figures will look any better on New Years Day.

This could well turn into a mid-week league!!

Concorde v Billericay was called off for a waterlogged pitch why not just reverse the fixture as they are playing each other next Saturday.

[BANANA BANANA]

Dorking lose 1-0 to Hampton.

Dorking lose 1-0 to Hampton.

Shows the strength of the league this season and confirms our result at Hampton was decent.

Jason Prior went off injured just after halftime and expected to be out for a month. Dorking have a packed fixture list in that period, but just how many of those games are actually played is anybody's guess. Incidentally, Alan Julien apparently played a cracker in goal for Hampton and was the main reason why they won the match.

Slip sliding away??

[Jonty]

Just 3 games survive today. I suppose it could get to a point where teams get too far behind on their remaining games. Could the league possibly call the season off early again and go straight to the playoffs? More reason to finish in the top 6 of this lottery filled season!

3pm Bath City v Hungerford Town
3pm Billericay Town v Braintree Town
3pm Hampton & Richmond Borough v Dulwich Hamlet
