Pick of the Week

A little more detail on some of the things I've retweeted on @AffordableFooty over the past few days. 

With the non-league season in England curtailed below National League level, but the planned easing of lockdown restrictions allowing clubs to play (and hopefully spectators to watch, although the guidance isn't totally clear in this respect as to when that may be), a number of cup competitions and mini-tournaments are being organised.

The Post Covid Lockdown Charity Cup is exactly what it says on the tin for 12, Midlands-based sides from April 17 onwards, while Bristol Manor Farm FC are hosting the Steve Hillier Memorial Cup, from the same date, in honour of their former secretary.

Fundraising is underway for improvements to Villa Park, not that one but the home of Aberlour Villa FC of the Moray & District Welfare League and in a beautiful part of Scotland.

They are hoping to build a new pavilion in time to celebrate 100 years in existence in 2024. 

Monday was International Womens Day and Bury AFC  went into some really interesting detail on how they hope to establish a successful and sustainable women's team and tap into the increased interest in girl's football in the area over the past few years.

And finally, even though football at Sandygate may be over for this season I may still try and make a visit...
