http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/steps-3-6/bognor-hamlet-the-horn-twins-and-the-orgasmatron/ Bognor, Hamlet, the Horn Twins and the Orgasmatron. A Ryman Premier League odyssey- kind of a match report!

That's his game. Out of four NLP match reports I've written at Worthing this season, he was man of the match three times and scored in all of them. I was very surprised when he hadn't gone by the end of January, there were scouts at every game. Didn't see one from Rovers, mind you!

New signing tonight- Omar Bugiel from Worthing. Strong, quick, scores for fun, occasionally prone to rash challenges. Was linked with a number of clubs during the last six weeks but I didn't see this one coming. Not sure about the cost, undoubtedly it'll have been a good deal for the Rebels. I...

Coleshill leave Crows in a House of Pain. Coleshill Town head to the last eight of the FA Vase with victory over Crowborough Athletic- a much (much) longer version of my NLP report. . http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/cup/coleshill-leave-crows-in-a-house-of-pain/

Sutton left with sour taste as Lemon leaps to level! Worthing FC, Sutton United and the FA Trophy. http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/cup/sutton-left-with-sour-taste-as-lemon-leaps-to-level/ A little something (sorry about the headline, I did try to resist) from last weekends FA Trophy match at...

I'm covering this one for the NLP. Worthing are on a fantastic run, 13 games unbeaten, and their front two Bugiel and Dawes already have twenty one goals each this season. You're not wrong they shouldn't be taken lightly! But the food is good, the bar is great, the new outdoor bar will cut down...

http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/cup/city-fail-to-buck-trend-as-athletic-run-continues/ Buckland Athletic progress to the last 16 of the FA Vase with victory at Chichester City. Words, pictures and a collection of odd-shaped ball fanatics (a much longer version of a report that appeared in the...

I have a certain affection for the place, but I wouldn't like to live there anymore. It isn't the same town I moved into in 1990.

http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/steps-3-6/otoole-returns-to-haunt-heath/ O'Toole returns to haunt Heath as Musselmen go 8 clear...Haywards Heath Town, Shoreham, the battle for Southern Combination Premier supremacy... and an evening of pantomime.

And that's part of the problem. Non League sides, particularly at step 5 & 6, tend to have little finance and few volunteers. The websites are often awful, the social media badly used or badly managed, and they have little or no marketing- to the extent that people don't know they exist. The FA...

I remember watching Crawley Town in the Dr Martens League. I ended up as the Chair of the Supporters Trust when we got to Old Trafford in the cup, and then two years later we were beating Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. It's gone a bit wrong since, but if you'd ever said to me that we'd be in...

http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/little-league-love-affair/the-best-team-in-englandand-a-stand-for-the-psychic-19/ A little something (actually I lie, quite a big something) featuring the FA Vase, Eastbourne United Association & Crowborough Athletic FC.

Just Who Is The Five O'Clock Hero. Featuring Lancing, Eastbourne Town, the Southern Combination Football League and some "old people's music." http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/steps-3-6/just-who-is-the-five-o-clock-hero/

http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/cup/cox-steers-hillians-through-choppy-waters/ Dean Cox, currently playing for Burgess Hill Town as he waits for the next transfer window to join up with Crawley Town, was magnificent on Saturday as they beat Beaconsfield SYCOB. I had to write a report for the...

I'm not surprised. I felt very much the same.

I had to go to Shoreham for the NLP, and took some time to look at the club and its emergence from the shadows over the last few months. http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/cup/shoreham-search-for-success-and-symmetry/ Please note- if you have OCD, you'll hate the photograph at the top.
