After nearly 9 months of another action packed season of local football, we reach the final round with not one but two of our teams involved in final day drama. Having seen Barnet, Boreham Wood and Potters Bar achieve safety, both Hendon and Wingate & Finchley can follow suit today. They control their destiny knowing a win will suffice, but equally aware that a slip up could prove extremely costly. Both have the advantage of playing their final match at home but it promises to be a nerve-ridden 90 plus minutes for both sets of supporters.
Wingate & Finchley’s opponents, Burgess Hill are virtually certain to be relegated even with a win as their vastly inferior goal difference would require a huge victory to avoid the drop. Fans at the Maurice Rebak Stadium will have one eye on Whitehawk’s game against Corinthian Casuals where anything but a home win will hand the Blues their survival.
Hendon have a more complicated scenario should they fail to beat mid table Swindon Supermarine. If the Greens match Walton Casuals result at Merthyr Town they too will look forward to a second season in the Premier South.
We trust such an outcome will be the fillip required for David to complete his extended recovery at UCH.
HRB will have all the drama, the twists and turns, the joy and sorrow, and hopefully a double celebration as Saturday Sport gears up for its final fling
To match the occasion, our Dream Team are on duty this afternoon. Pete makes a rare foray into the studio to set the ball rollingand describe the opening exchanges accompanied later on by Mel having supervised the polishing of his gold plated divan at the new Spurs stadium.
Then on Sunday Nick will undertake a forensic review of the weekend’s action.
