Liam Lavin was a shoot-out hero once again as Crofton Saints produced a major shock to reach the Hampshire FA Trophy final. Lavin saved one penalty and saw other one miss the target as lower tier Crofton defeated Hampshire Premier League Senior Division leaders Colden Common 5-4 on spot-kicks. That followed a 2-2 draw at Seafield Park, which saw Crofton recover from conceding early on to lead after 20 minutes.

The first weeks of 2025 were spent attempting to obtain Championship entry standard performances. Last Saturday saw the start of the Championships with Harvey Beckles cruising through his heat and semi-final and into the final of the 60m. On his way Harvey clocked 7.08 for a new personal best, beating his own club record. Later in the day Logan Cookson excelled in finishing fourth in the U20 men’s triple jump.

“I felt very worried going in. I thought, do I need to give false details in case they actually report me and say, ‘This woman can’t afford pasta, can you take her son away.’ I was terrified.”“It’s not easy to ask for help… and then when you do, you’re always worrying in the queue: Is somebody going to drive past that you know from the work? Is somebody going to phone my daughter and say, I’ve seen your mum at the food bank queue?

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.
Unpopular opinion - If I could take one win from Forest tomorrow or Cambridge on Sat, I'd take the FA Cup. We've got 17 L1 games left, we've only got one shot at our bit of national glory. Ok, I'm a football romantic - nothing wrong with that, is there? #ecfc @EmiratesFACup
