When Saturday comes we watch football and it's FA Vase action at the RM Stadium for Hucknall v Saffron Dynamo. A brilliant 3.0 win for Yellows,Dynamo hitting the self destruct button,Captain in the sin bin,late tackles, red cards, the locals loved it! "Can't catch,can't kick,what can you do?"

It's the first home game of the season for Gedling Miners for the visit of Cotgrave. 2.0 down at the break, but a rousing second half showing and three goals saw GMW come from behind to win 3.2, for their first league win of the season. £6.00 entry what's not to like. Non league footie at its best!

It's match day at the RM Stadium for Hucknall Town v Wisbech and it's an absolute thriller.Town 2.0 up at the break before the Fenmen hit back with 3 goals of their own,Town levelling late then hitting the bar in the dying seconds. 6 goals, top entertainment Non league footie at its very best!

Whoosh, bang,wallop,it's the Fourth Earl back in for some "Stout Sunday" shenanigans and these two big lads really pack a punch. With more booze than Best and the smoothness of a well sucked spangle they hit the bullseye. Boozy and sweet and black as the night. Bravo Jeff!

It's the Fourth Earl, and it's time for some more psychedelic shenanigans with the pouring paints as we hit the accelerator and crash head first into a silicone infused mind bending colour extravaganza of gargantuan proportions. Bravo Jeff!

A grim afternoon watching Gedling Miners easily dispatched by a South Normanton side riding high in the league and full goals, dishing out 5 of the best, the third an exquisite 25 yarder into the top corner the keeper rooted. Oh well!

It's match day up at the Plains. GMW up against a strong Grace Dieu side. GMW slipping to a 4.0 defeat ruthlessly dispatched despite giving it a real go but with no real end product. Oh well!

It's the Fourth Earl and refreshment has been taken @verdantbrew.bsky.social "Binky it's the Don" juicier than Biggins on a day trip to Margate. It's a colossal full on flavour fest, boozed to the hilt and asking all the right questions. "Carstairs fetch the curling tongs I'm going in" Stunning!

It's the Fourth Earl and midweek footie is back at the Plains, Gedling MW facing a Hucknall Town side in an entertaining encounter. 1.1 on the night plenty of positives for both sides and a monumental downpour at fulltime.

It's the Fourth Earl getting into the swing of things with some hedge cutting action for the first time this year heading into a hypnotic utopian state of relaxation. The results with more curves than Spaghetti Junction and smoother than Duncan Goodhew doing the 100 metres freestyle. Bravo!

It's off to the RM Stadium for some Hucknall Town action for the final time this season. Slipping to a 3.0 defeat at the hands of Kimberley MW in a lacklustre performance. Yellows not at the races today. All eyes on the Senior Cup final now. Go Yellows!
