Please do let me know if you didn’t receive the copy/copies you ordered. There are a few copies left for anyone who wants one. Next week, several clubs who rarely use lights or have recently installed them have midweek fixtures including Altofts (page 5), Blackpool Wren Rovers, Longridge and Garstang (all page 7), Aylsham (page 11) and Fry Club (page 19). Also, I’ve noted a few artificial pitches being used on Saturday, useful if the bad weather persists, which don’t often crop up such as the double header at the Harraby Sports Centre in Carlisle (page 4), Lea Manor Leisure Centre in Luton (page 10), another double header at Moulsham High School in Chelmsford (page 12) and Pershore High School in Pershore, Worcestershire (page 18). Several Sunday games have been pencilled in by the South West Peninsula League (page 19). Finally, the correct post code for EBAC Northern League Division Two side Sunderland Ryhope CW is SR2 0AB.
