So a poor week on the old sporting front, the England boys get destroyed by the Germans 4-0, and Andy Murray loses in the semi’s at Wimbledon & the Lions lose the series in South Africa (bloody excellent effort in both games though).
Summer seems to have appeared and it has suddenly got very warm and very muggy. Our friendlies list has been posted, with a hefty 8 games in 4 weeks, which includes a game against a Hull XI.
I meant to mention, and very remiss of me for not, the untimely passing of Tony Kempster. He was the non-league authority on league structures and tables and loads of other things. His website was the first place many would go to, to try and get to grips with the FAs pyramid structure. I had read a few months ago that Tony had been diagnosed with very advanced liver cancer, and was resigned to the fact he was off to meet his maker in the not too distant. He set up a message wall which was a awash with get well messages from people from all over the country – most probably never having met the man – thats testament to his dedication and hard work.
His final posts can be read here Tony Kempster and his last updated non-league site is here Tony Kempster. I am sure you will concur, our thoughts are with his loved ones.
