Simon Woods hailed an “outstanding achievement” as Fareham Town celebrated their first promotion since the late 1970s.

For the first time since 1993, Fareham Town have lifted silverware. And for the first time since 1979, the club are celebrating promotion. On a memorable afternoon at Cams Alders, Simon Woods’ young side defeated Andover New Street 2-1 to win the Wessex League Premier play-off final in front of a crowd of 1,103. Not even the most ardent Creeksider would have imagined such scenes last summer when Woods stepped up from managing the club’s under-23s to replace the sacked ex-Pompey boss Graham Rix.

Wisest words you'll read today...
If anyone ever asks you why you do it, why you travel around the country to watch your team, get those early and late trains, talk about old players for hours on end, why you take that lucky scarf or wear that badge week in week out… show them this. https://t.co/3uFLyTqTa1
Manchester United will travel to Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong straight after their final match of the season to play two friendlies. Three days after facing Villa, they will play the ASEAN All Stars. Can't be arsed with FA Cup replays, though. Yes, I'm STILL bitter...
We missed out on an FA Cup replay at Forest because Premier League clubs play too many games, or so we're told, so understandably things like this really piss me off #ecfc
Aston Villa will play a friendly match with Al Ain FC tomorrow evening in Abu Dhabi. The game against the UAE Pro League side will kick off at 10pm local time at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium.
