Five Matches For £5 (Or Less) This Weekend

I've changed the headline from 'friendlies' to 'matches' this week because it includes a game in the Women's Super League, more of which later...

Starting in East Anglia and the Brewers Green Lane home of Diss Town FC, currently in the First Division of the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties League. They host an open day on Saturday with a lots of family activities, free ice-cream for Under-11's and free entry for all to the 3pm friendly against Norwich United, last season's Premier League champions.

All pre-season fixtures at Lancaster City are half-price and this Saturday sees Blackpool visit the Giant Axe for a 3pm kick-off. Adult admission is priced at £4 for a game which pits Lancaster's assistant manager Trevor Sinclair against the club where he started the career that took him to the 2002 World Cup.

AFC Rushden & Diamonds make the short trip to face Rushden & Higham United of the United Counties League with the two sides competing for the Chris Ruff Memorial Cup in honour of the former secretary of R&HUFC. Admission prices at Hayden Road will be £4 Adults and £2 Concessions/Under-16's with kick-off at 3pm.

The 'Friendly Frenzy' at Dover Athletic means all pre-season home games are £5 admission with Under-11's free. The action starts this Saturday against Whitehawk with a 3pm kick-off.


And Yeovil Town Ladies have moved their WSL2 game against Millwall Lionesses to Yeovil Town's Huish Park ground which, together with the positive publicity generated by England's displays in the World Cup will hopefully see a crowd of over 1,000 on Sunday at 2pm. Tickets are priced at £4 Adults and £2.50 Concessions.

Again, please check with all the clubs concerned to make sure games are still on. Friendlies especially can be moved or cancelled at short notice.
