New Romney Vs Metrogas  📍Taray Group Community Stadium  Tickets: £7 Kent County League Bill Manklow Inter-Regional Challenge Cup Final It was a quick start from Metrogas in the opening stages of this cup final. They opened the scoring with only four minutes on the clock. The ball was played down the right hand side and crossed into the box by the No.10. The initial header from the No.5 was saved spectacularly by the goalkeeper but only parried out as far as the No.11. He created some space for himself and curled in a beautiful strike into the far side of the net.  Six minutes later, a corner ball for Metrogas was swung in and landed right in front of the goal mouth. The No.9 used his strength to give himself some space and flicked the ball into the back of the net with his heel.  Ten minutes later, New Romney had a free kick on the half way line which was delivered into the box by the No.6. The ball wasn't dealt with properly and fell to the No.5 who neatly volleyed...

ACD United Vs Old Chelmsfordians  📍 Henderson Sports & Social Club  Tickets: Free Entry  It didn't take long for the hosts to open the scoring, six minutes to be precise. From a goal kick, the ball was played forward and flicked on through to the No.12.

From a Chelmsfordians corner, the ball was cleared and lost in the middle of the park. This allowed ACD to break away with the ball quickly and work it down the left flank to the No.7. He sat his marker down in quite some fashion and curled in a brilliant effort into the far side of the net.  Just before the break, the hosts started to run away with the game comfortably after adding a third.

10/04/26 - Ground 477 - 📍 Richmond Park - St Patrick's Athletic Vs Shamrock Rovers FC

South Dublin Derby 🔥 St Patrick's Athletic FC Vs Shamrock Rovers FC 📍 Richmond Park  Tickets: £15 The away side started off on the front foot and dominated possession of the ball.  Shamrock Rovers managed to open the scoring with nine minutes on the clock. The No.29 picked up the ball in the middle of the park and headed towards goal. With so much time and space to decide what he wanted to do, he had a shot from the edge of the box which took a deflection past the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.  The rest of the game followed the same pattern. The away side dominated the majority of the ball whereas the home side would look to counter.  The final whistle then went with the final score finishing 1-0 to Shamrock Rovers.  One thing I will add, it was one of the worst weather conditions I've ever experienced while watching a game of football. Torrential rain and wind made it at times unbearable and very difficult to take notes.
