Title decider between Crow Pie v Gatehouse, biggest game in years with 3rd placed Hillmorton also with an outside chance .
The League posted nothing about and it was played on a school athletics pitch !

A good crowns and a decent game , decided by the keepers in a 1-1 draw , which I heard gave it to Hillmorton . Miracles do happen .
It couldn’t be much more exciting but clearly not for the committee ! I don’t even think they were there ! Great commitment

Good luck to all 6 teams in the Cup Finals in Daventry tomorrow . 3 games 1st v2nd in all three groups , so it truly is the best of the best .
Now the committees cheat ( having got his teammates kicked out of the final but not disciplined ( just more cheating from the committee) ) it should be fairer open games.

Good luck to the officials and OurJay too.

There was a time that the cup finals for the Sunday morning League were the last game and the big final finale to the season. It was expected that all clubs would be there to support the teams that got to the final. In recent years they haven’t been enough volunteers to steward it properly. Now even the committee members are arranging pointless friendlys on the same day.
AFCs Hoinville has arranged a game against an unaffiliated and probably uninsured team . However all games on council pitches have to be made by the fixture secretary from the committee .
So either the committees chairman has allowed this to happen, meaning less people there for the finals again or Hoinville has booked a pitch with the council, which is in breach of the league rules according to Jamie Malin . He says he is the only one who can book council pitches for Rugby&District clubs. He also knows that only affiliated clubs with insurance can play on council pitches.
You might of thought after last weekend shenanigans , he’d want to stay on the right side of the law!
So three of the league committee on finals day have colluded in a pointless ,ill advised and probably unlawful friendly and without any action being taken against any of them!
Shameful behaviour by the Chairman on what should be the big day of the season .

If you’re there at Butlin Road tomorrow, you can ask David Sharpe why he allowed more breaches of league protocols by committee members .

Good luck to Brinklow , Caldecott , the Webb and Gatehouse ( hopefully without the ‘fans’ pitch invasion this time ).
