Well, a huge welcome back to The Racecourse to all supporters for tonight’s<br />
league cup semi final. I know it has been a huge wrench for many people for so<br />
long to go without their dose of live action so hopefully tonight’s action will make<br />
up for some of that absence. Being one of the club officials, I’ve been able to<br />
watch some of the recent games <strong>and</strong> it was a tragedy we didn’t have a crowd in<br />
for the quarter final performance against S<strong>and</strong>hurst “Bracknell” Town which was<br />
nothing short of stunning. The whole team raised their game to another level <strong>and</strong><br />
it was clear to see the impact new singing <strong>and</strong> ex-Harrow <strong>Boro</strong>ugh captain Shaun<br />
Preddie had; he was top drawer. I also can’t go without mentioning Binfield’s run<br />
to the FA vase final, which is on BT Sport this Saturday (12:15). All wins away from<br />
home, 4 penalty shoot outs, quite incredible <strong>and</strong> with former Yellamen Chris<br />
Grace <strong>and</strong> Dave Hancock in their side they have a really good chance this<br />
weekend.<br />
The Boy Done Good! Ex-<br />
Yellaman Luqman Kassim in<br />
action for VPS in the Finnish<br />
2nd tier having signed<br />
professional terms with the<br />
club last year.<br />
The season did, of course, get curtailed. However, some teams will be rewarded<br />
with promotion using an average points per game of the past 2 curtailed<br />
seasons. All I know is that our form this season didn’t match last season when we<br />
led the league <strong>and</strong> as such over the 2 campaigns we were behind Sutton<br />
Common Rovers <strong>and</strong> one other team, although I can’t remember if it is Southall or<br />
Spelthorne! In other news, Luqman Kassim (pictured) is now playing<br />
professionally for Vaasan Palloseura in the Finnish 2nd division, whereas James<br />
Richardson is trying out with Chesham United (Southern League South, step 3 of<br />
pyramid). Best wishes to both! Not much else to say, enjoy the game <strong>and</strong> stay<br />
safe. Make the most of the experience tonight, it’ll probably be another few<br />
months before we watch another first team game here! Neal<br />
