Second visit of the season to Clappers Lane for Gresford Athletic v Mold Alexandra in Cymru North. When I was here last month one of the goals was 4 inches too high, this time the posts are "too wobbly". Welsh football, eh?

As of Tuesday evening Peebles Rovers are no more. One of Borders football's oldest clubs have been forced to fold. The issues surrounding their ground have been well documented but context is important. It's ridiculous that their ground, Whitestone Park, was deemed not to meet league requirements.

As someone who went to Cockfosters several years ago and as a big stadium/stands nerd, I'm gutted to know I was so close to Sasacens' old ground without knowing. Let down by a lack of research.

The over-bloated football fest finally comes up with a reason for not having a "round of 32". That said, these both finished second in their groups.

Regular followers won't be surprised that I'm irritated by Canada's choice of an all black kit. Absolutely no reason not to wear red.
