TLFG: 28 May - 3 June 2012

The end of TLFG's first season has finally arrived and my how it's flown by.

Admittedly it hasn't been a whole year, starting as it did in October, but my first venture into blogging has been rewarding and challenging in equal measure.

I've visited new grounds and parts of London as a direct result of putting this together and have also taken a trip down memory lane and re-visited places I hadn't been since I was teenager.

Some of the matches have been superb, others less so. The first was Harrow Borough's entertaining 2-2 draw at Wingate & Finchley in a Ryman League game. While the last was an exciting seven-goal thriller on Saturday played at a level I'd never previously thought of watching, but more on that later.

Aside from the non-league matches, this was also the year QPR made their long-awaited return to the Premier League and what a season it was. The two stand-out matches for me were the home league wins over Chelsea and Liverpool which were packed with drama. The former continues to make headlines even now courtesy of the Blues' captain and what he did or didn't say to Anton Ferdinand.

I'm still pinching myself that Rangers stayed up and almost feel guilty like a survivor of a terrible tragedy - why us and not Bolton? Anyway, onwards and upwards, hopefully.

I'd love to know what the highlights of your season were - best match, favourite new ground visited etc. I'd also like to find out if there are any features or info you'd like me to include next season.

Back to yesterday now. With it being the last recognisable Saturday of domestic football in London, I made a bit of extra effort to encourage people to visit Coles Park (Haringey Borough's ground) to watch the final match of the Middlesex County Football League season between FC Romania and Willesden Constantine.

With there being only two other games on in the capital (another MCFL game out in the far west and the League One play-off at Wembley), I thought this would prove quite appealing to hardcore football addicts, groundhoppers and people who just wanted to get out and about on a beautiful sunny afternoon.

After meeting Non-League Day colleague Mike in Finsbury Park and enjoying lunch at a superb Turkish place, we headed up to Wood Green before walking a mile to the ground.

Our home for the afternoon

Tottenham Hotspur play nearby at 'White Hart Lane', however they're not actually located on the road itself. One football ground is though and that's Coles Park.

Flanked on one side by allotments, it is a bit shabby but in blazing sunshine anywhere looks good and the main stand is actually pretty decent.

After strolling through the main gate, a couple of FC Romania fans were selling some club scarves and programmes from a box on the bonnet of their car. Like their website, general support and actual play it was impressive for a club at Level 11 of the national system.

Once past them, Mike and I finally met up with the legendary blogger putajumperon.

Having recently completed his very own 'Road to Wembley' seeing 26 FA Cup matches from extra preliminary round to the final (including replays), it was great to finally meet him.

His next hop will see him visit every club in Europe founded in or who did something of note in 1881, the same year as his beloved Watford were formed. This odyssey starts shortly with a trip to Germany to visit SW Essen. Make sure you follow his blog to see how he gets on.

Having loaded up with cold drinks from the clubhouse we took our places in the stand and speculated about how the players before us would get on in the sweltering conditions.

It was the hosts, made up entirely of Romanian and Bulgarian ex-pats, who started the better and progressed into a very comfortable 2-0 half-time lead with some classy football.

Willesden had a couple of chances but they were always going to struggle to beat the giant their opponents employed between the sticks - he was huge, the biggest keeper I've probably ever seen. Peter Crouch might actually find himself looking up at this gentleman.

With the referee's whistle sounding for the interval, the teams went their separate ways - the Romanians to the dressing rooms and Willesden to the shade of a large tree in the car park!

This unorthodox activity didn't help them though as they went 3-0 down 10 minutes after the re-start.

At this point it seemed over as a contest - FC Romania had played the better football from the beginning and would have been much further ahead if they hadn't tried to walk it in on numerous occasions so what happened next came completely out of the blue.

Maybe it was the substitution of their giant keeper at half-time but with the game into its 67th minute, the visitors pulled one back and then just took total control. Ten minutes later it was 3-3 and there looked like being only one winner.

Confidence was suddenly oozing out of every pore of the Constantine team but with the game deep into added time, Ion Vintila's players managed to counter attack and steal a fourth to swing the game back in their favour at the crucial moment.

Although the 4-3 win for FC Romania didn't alter either side's final league position (second and fourth respectively) it must have been very satisfying/disappointing for all involved. As a spectator it was a joy.

If my words are not enough, check out putajumperon's photos of the afternoon.

Since the season finished for the bigger non-league clubs three or four weeks ago, a lot of neutrals have found themselves at MCFL games instead and none have disappointed.

The two I've seen produced 13 goals whilst others had all reported seeing four or more in the games they'd been to. In fact Saturday's other game saw champions Interwood win 7-4 at Broadfields United! So give MCFL football a try next season, particularly if the games are being played at a more senior club's ground.

So to the week ahead. There are only two games scheduled and they couldn't be much more different.

On Thursday night M&B Club play Runwell Hospital in the Denny King Memorial Cup final at AFC Hornchurch's ground. I'm not too sure of the significance of this competition but both clubs play in the Essex Olympian League which is a similar level to the MCFL.

Then on Saturday, England host Belgium in a Euro 2012 warm-up match at Wembley. It's officially sold out, so you're probably best watching it on TV (if you've got nothing else to do). Here's the match map anyway:

Looking ahead a couple of months or so there are still tickets on sale for the Olympic football tournament with games taking place at Wembley and at various other venues around the UK. 

Tickets for England's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine at Wembley in September also go on general sale later this week.

So that's it for now, I hope you've enjoyed it. I've decided to take June off and intend to start putting stuff up again in early July once the pre-season friendlies get under way.

In the meantime I'm heading out to Ukraine for the France v Sweden game in Kiev/Kyiv (I always apply before the draw) and will spend my Saturday's back in Blighty trying to keep fit by taking part in my local parkrun which is something I can't recommend highly enough to runners of any age or ability, it's free too.

Have a great one!

TLFG: 21-27 May 2012

Saturday proved to be quite a day for London football - not only did West Ham return to the Premier League (meaning there are now six clubs from the capital in the country's top division) but Chelsea became champions of Europe.

As a QPR fan I have no gripe with West Ham and depending on which day the fixture falls on, it looks like a group of us will be walking from Loftus Road to Upton Park next season when the clubs play. We do this to raise funds for the QPR Tiger Cubs football team for children with Down's syndrome - the previous three seasons have taken us to Crystal Palace, Watford and Spurs.

Congratulating Chelsea is a much a tougher thing to consider but I am currently compromised as former Blues player and current assistant coach Eddie Newton was a witness at my wedding some years ago.

It so happened that he was a neighbour of my wife at the time of our nuptials and it's hard to turn down an FA Cup final goalscorer whoever they played for.

In fact, my other half has far better football connections than I do having grown up in the same area as DJ Campbell (currently at QPR) - apparently he was 'on his bike the whole time' and she can never remember seeing him with a football.

I digress - I don't like Chelsea but I'm overjoyed for Eddie as he is a gent and went through some tough times when his playing days ended. For that reason, I want Roberto Di Matteo to miss out on the Stamford Bridge job and take himself and Mr Newton somewhere else so I can get back to being bitter without restraint!

Aside from this, I spent Saturday lunchtime hosting a brainstorm/planning meeting ahead of this year's Non-League Day event.

After two successful years, it will be making its return next season on Saturday 13 October 2012.

If you've not heard of it before, it's a day when football fans (particularly Premier League and Championship supporters) are asked to go and watch their local non-league teams instead. This is made possible by scheduling the day on an international weekend when all the big clubs are without fixtures.

Clubs at the grassroots of the game are the bedrock of football in this country and are often operated on a shoestring to the benefit of their local communities.

I set the day up to celebrate what they are about and help people discover what such clubs have to offer. So if you're in England on 13 October please try and get to a game.

Looking ahead to this week - we really are at the fag end of the season so there's very little to choose from (I make it five games). Apart from the two play-off finals at Wembley, there are some games in the Middlesex County Football League and Essex Olympian League.

Please let me know if there is anything going on that I've missed and if you know when Interwood kick-off on Monday night please get in touch (last Wednesday it was 7pm). As always, please double check with clubs on the day that games are still going ahead.

TLFG: 14-20 May 2012

Well what a day!

As a QPR fan it's been an emotional one.

The very minute the fixtures came out back in June we all knew we'd be in for a tough last couple of months of the season given we had to play six of the top eight in our final eight games.

January to March was seen as the time where we really had to get results and build up enough of a points reserve that we could hold on for the remainder of the season.

Perversely it turned out that we lost most of the 'easy' games and took maximum points off the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs as we won our last five home games to move to the brink of safety.

Although QPR did eventually lose at Manchester City today, the previous good work proved to be enough and the dream continues for another year.

I'm still not sure which gave me a greater sense of elation - surviving today or winning promotion last year?

Currently I think it has to be survival - partly because last year's achievements were tainted by an FA enquiry which I still feel we were lucky to get through relatively unscathed. If we had gone down, there would've been a feeling of karma about it.

Anyway, when Gabby Logan and the Final Score team had digested all the day's action I thought I'd stroll down to Loftus Road to join the throng of happy fans who would have congregated at the stadium to celebrate.

Admittedly nearly an hour had passed since the final whistle but there were no signs of life at all when I arrived - I was the only one there. Even the nearby Springbok pub was showing few signs of activity.

A very quiet Loftus Road an hour after the final whistle at Eastlands

Then I remembered I was living in London not Madrid or Istanbul - British people just don't do this sort of thing. Maybe when the supporters' coaches get back later tonight things could get a bit more lively.

Putting that slight disappointment aside, I can now look forward to what I expect to be a big summer - the first under Tony Fernandes and Mark Hughes.

I doubt there'll be mega signings - top top players won't move to clubs with 19,000 capacity stadiums but there will be some quality coming through the door. If you've not been before, put Loftus Road on your list of grounds to visit next year and let me know if you want any help doing it.

By contrast my Saturday afternoon was a far more relaxed affair.

With most football in the top 10 levels of the national system finished, I tried out some level 11 action for the first time.

After a short tube ride from Shepherd's Bush to Perivale I ended up at Hanwell Town's Reynolds Field - the temporary home of Middlesex County Football League club Southall.

The west London club dropped to this level in 2006 after over 30 years in the Isthmian (now Ryman) and Combined Counties leagues. Probably their most famous player during this time was Les Ferdinand who of course went on to play for QPR and England in the '90s.

Significant investment of late has seen their fortunes start to improve and now they're actually competing with QPR for a bit of land that they want for a new ground and the Premier League side want for a training complex.

On the pitch they're not doing too badly either. At the beginning of play they were third in the table having won 17 of their 27 games.

Reynolds Field on a sunny day isn't a bad place to be. One can visit the clubhouse for some reasonably priced refreshment and then sit on the veranda and watch the game from a raised position or you can just go pitch side where there are also plenty of seats.

The match itself was possibly the most one-sided I've seen so far this season with the hosts sweeping visitors Springfield aside 5-1, a result which I think relegated them.

Generally I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of Southall's play so I would thoroughly recommend a trip to see one of this league's top clubs (e.g. Interwood, FC Romania, Southall or Willesden Constantine) before the end of the season.

It was also a pleasure to meet Bryan from the Hendon FC Supporters Trust who was without a game and came along after consulting the TLFG match map.

In the week ahead, at the same level, there are also a few Essex Olympian League games so if you're on the east side of town they might be better for you.

Apart from these level 11 games and a bit of FA Women's Super League action, the only other matches are the two play-off finals at Wembley over the weekend. Tickets for both are available directly from the clubs involved - unless you're a season-ticket holder or member, your chances of getting anything for Blackpool v West Ham in the Championship game are pretty slim. While the Conference play-off between Luton and York should have some availability.

I'll leave you this week with the match maps. I'm still chasing the kick-off times for a couple of games but will add them when I get them - please get in touch if you have the info.

TLFG: 8-13 May 2012

It's been a busy couple of days so apologies for the slightly later publication time than normal.

After spending Saturday evening on the couch watching Chelsea edge past Liverpool in the FA Cup, I got back to the coalface with a visit to Loftus Road for QPR's crucial final home match against Stoke City.

With a trip to Manchester City on the last day of the season still to come, defeating the Potters would be essential to have a good chance of avoiding the drop.

In typical fashion, Tony Pulis's side were tough and very hard to break down. With news regularly fed to us by gloating Stoke fans that Bolton were going further and further ahead against West Brom, the mood in the stadium plummeted with sometimes only the players' voices breaking the gloomy silence.

However, the Baggies pulled one back and as QPR pushed the atmosphere grew again.

When Djibril Cisse knocked in the 89th-minute winner the place went wild and before the celebrations ended news came through that West Brom had equalised prolonging the joy still further.

There was still time for one last heart-in-mouth moment as the ball fell to former QPR favourite Peter Crouch in a dangerous position but thankfully he steered his effort just wide as the hosts survived.

QPR fans celebrate on the Loftus Road pitch after victory over Stoke

As soon as the final whistle went, the traditional end of season pitch invasion began but it was one fuelled by that extra elation of having seen our whole season pivot around one crucial minute at Loftus Road and the Reebok Stadium.

Whether it proves to be enough is still yet to be seen but if QPR lose at Manchester City they will still stay up if Bolton fail to win at Stoke. To say it's going to be a tense final day would be an understatement.

On Monday, I undertook an epic journey to the far east of London to see AFC Hornchurch take on Lowestoft Town in the Ryman League Premier Division play-off final.

After finishing second and third and level on points the sides had had to enter the play-offs where wins over Bury Town and Wealdstone respectively had seen them get this far.

Bridge Avenue is very easy to get to being just a short walk from Upminster Bridge tube station, it's also close to Upminster too if you come in on the C2C fast train.

I arrived about 20 minutes before kick-off and the stadium was already largely full down both sides of the pitch. It wasn't so busy behind the goals mainly because there's a running track around the outside which keeps you some way from the action.

Nestled close to the Urchins' equivalent of ultras in the east stand I took up my position for the rest of the afternoon.

The first half provided few chances and those that did largely went the way of the hosts. The second half saw more of the same but with Lowestoft creating the better chances with Lubomir Guentchev crashing a stunnig effort against the bar and another just over.

AFC Hornchurch celebrate promotion to the Blue Square Bet South

Extra-time proved to be a far more open affair as Leon McKenzie pounced to give Hornchurch the lead early on before Dean Sinclair levelled from the penalty spot just before half-time.

With time running out, a penalty shoot-out looked certain until Michael Spencer fired home Hornchurch's winner with just seconds to go to seal their place in the Blue Square Bet South.

It was a good day all round for east London clubs as news filtered through that West Ham had comfortably seen off Cardiff City to make the Championship play-off final at Wembley later in the month.

Given that some of the details/locations/kick-off times for the Level 11 and amateur clubs are a bit sketchy, make sure you check with them or their respective leagues before travelling that the games are still on and please let me know if I've got anything wrong or details have changed.

Here are my pick of the matches that are on this week. Feel free to add your own recommendations in the comments section below:

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v FULHAM (Sunday 13 May, 3pm)

A win for Harry Redknapp's Spurs side in this London derby will see them secure fourth place in the Premier League and a place in next season's Champions League qualifiers. With Newcastle just a point behind and Chelsea also possibly within reach by Sunday, there will be no margin for error. Former Tottenham manager Martin Jol has created a decent Fulham side who will be no pushovers and a win could see them finish seventh so there is plenty to play for. TICKET INFO

CHELSEA v BLACKBURN ROVERS (Sunday 13 May, 3pm)

How important this match turns out to be depends on how well Chelsea do at Liverpool in the Premier League tonight (Tuesday). A win at Anfield will keep them in sixth but will leave them only two points behind Spurs in fourth meaning they'll have the opportunity to pounce if their north London rivals and Newcastle slip up. What kind opposition they'll face on Sunday is hard to tell. Blackburn succumbed to relegation on Monday night after losing to Wigan so whether they'll really go for it knowing the pressure's off or not bother and allow the Blues to rack up a cricket score remains to be seen. Given the hosts' great form I'd expect the latter. TICKET INFO

FA TROPHY FINAL (Saturday 12 May, 3pm)

NEWPORT COUNTY v YORK CITY

WEMBLEY STADIUM

Unusually for a TLFG recommendation, there's no London interest in this match at all. It is, however, taking place at our hallowed national stadium and provides a great chance for you to see a showpiece event there. If you don't know, the FA Trophy is a knockout competition which is contested by teams in the top four divisions of non-league football (Levels 5-8 of the national system). On Saturday two clubs from opposite ends of the Blue Square Bet Premier (Level 5) go head-to-head in pursuit of glory. Welsh club Newport County, managed by former Spurs player Justin Edinburgh, finished just above the relegation places while York have booked their place in the play-off final so will be back at Wembley again shortly. The smart money therefore says York should be favourites but will they be tempted to save themselves for arguably the bigger game a week later? TICKET INFO

BLUE SQUARE BET SOUTH PLAY-OFF FINAL (Sunday 13 May, 3pm)

DARTFORD v WELLING UNITED

For those of you who like a good play-off game, head down to Princes Park on Sunday where these two meet in the Blue Square Bet South final. Dartford finished the season higher than Welling so have home advantage for this one off winner-takes-all game. If your geography's not up to much then you're probably not aware that these two south-east London clubs are also big local rivals whose grounds are only five miles apart. The atmosphere should be great so give it a go if you're in the area. TICKET INFO

SURREY SENIOR CUP FINAL (Tuesday 8 May, 730pm)

WOKING v SUTTON UNITED

at KINGSMEADOW

Blue Square Bet South champions Woking go after another bit of silverware on Tuesday night when they play Sutton United at AFC Wimbledon's ground. The U's come into the game having suffered an aggregate defeat to Welling in Sunday's play-off semi-final so how motivated they'll be is hard to predict. Both sides have big followings so there should be a decent crowd as they complete their seasons with this cup final. TICKET INFO

FA VASE FINAL (Sunday 13 May, 3pm)

DUNSTON UTS v WEST AUCKLAND TOWN

WEMBLEY STADIUM

Like the FA Trophy above, this game doesn't have any London interest either but again represents a good chance to go and see a match at Wembley. This competition is open mainly to clubs who play at levels nine and 10 of the national system. Both these sides come from the Northern League which is made up primarily of clubs from Newcastle and the north east of England. It should be a close game as they finished third and second respectively this season. TICKET INFO

TLFG: 30 April-7 May 2012

My Saturday began with a morning trip to Summers Lane, home of Wingate & Finchley, to help my friend Mike run a five-a-side tournament he'd set up.

He'd been fretting about it since Wednesday as the heavens unloaded bucket after bucket of rain onto the capital but fortunately the pitches were deemed playable and the action got under way at 1030am. 

My reward for helping out would be free admission to Wingate's end of season encounter against Carshalton Athletic in the Ryman League on the main pitch later that afternoon.

However, with two and half hours still to go until kick-off and my services no longer required I decided to head elsewhere.

I enjoy watching games at the north London club a lot but there was nothing of great significance riding on this one and I still had time to get myself to a match that did.

From memory I recalled that Wealdstone were hosting Concord Rangers in the same division and that there was a play-off place at stake.

Alex Dyer curls in a free-kick for Wealdstone

What followed were a number of logistical calculations which also included a brief pit-stop back in Shepherd's Bush on my way through.

As the crow flies it's about 11 miles (18km) from Summers Lane to Grosvenor Vale over in the west London suburb of Ruislip. 

To give those who don't know London too well some idea of its scale and public transport network, I got on the tube at West Finchley at 1pm and made it to Wealdstone seven minutes before the 3pm start. 

I hasten to reiterate that this did include a detour which pretty much doubled the overall mileage but two hours does seem like a long time!

Anyway I made it and joined a considerable queue, bigger even than the one I described at Dulwich a couple of weeks ago.

If you haven't read this blog before you may not be aware of what a great season the Stones have had.

They started slowly but have gone on to have a season to remember which has included a sensational run to the FA Trophy semi-finals after beating several Blue Square Bet Premier sides on their way there.

This combined with a run to the Middlesex Senior Cup final had caused a huge backlog of fixtures, one that would end most clubs' promotion ambitions.

In April alone, Gordon Bartlett's side have had to play nine matches in order to finish their season on time.

Ashlee Jones saves from a free-kick as Concord fight back

Sensationally they have won seven of them, drawn one and the only defeat was in the aforementioned cup final against higher league opposition Hampton & Richmond Borough.

All this had seen them creep into the play-off zone just four days before the end of the campaign.

Having accrued a healthy goal difference of plus 35, they only needed to draw against Concord to keep their promotion ambitions alive.

With persistent drizzle still blighting things, the hosts came flying out of the blocks and took the lead after only 30 seconds when Alex Dyer found the net.

Surely getting the point they needed was now a formality with the Essex club obviously not too bothered about what was for them a nothing game.

Nothing could be further from the truth as Concord equalised shortly after and then proceeded to have much the better of the first half. In fact they should've have taken the lead but Harry Elmes contrived to lash the ball over from close range with the goal at his mercy.

With promotion rivals Bury Town and Lewes both winning at half-time there could be no margin for error for the Stones in the second half.

As it turned out they won fairly comfortably in the end with further goals from Richard Jolly (his 48th of the season) and Scott Fitzgerald.

The 3-1 scoreline ensured them a place in Wednesday night's one-legged winner takes all play-off semi-final at Lowestoft Town. If they get through, it'll be either away to AFC Hornchurch or home to Bury Town on 7 May in the final (the team who finished higher in the league gets home advantage).

TLFG TOP 10

FA CUP FINAL

CHELSEA v LIVERPOOL (Saturday 5 May, 515pm)

Traditionally the FA Cup final was always the last match of the domestic season but somewhere along the line this ended. Now it doesn't even have the day to itself let alone the weekend with Premier League and Football League games also taking place. This year also sees the end of the traditional 3pm kick-off with the match moving back to 515pm. As for the game itself, the Blues must be the overwhelming favourites having just seen off Barcelona in the Champions League and thrashed QPR 6-1 in the derby. Liverpool on the other hand have been far less impressive of late but did manage a solid 3-0 win at Norwich on Saturday. Both sides have to negotiate tricky midweek games before this but with 13 FA Cup crowns between them, they should still put on a good show. TICKET INFO

CHELSEA v NEWCASTLE UNITED (Wednesday 2 May, 745pm)

The big matches just keep coming for Roberto Di Matteo's side with this one being crucial to their hopes of making it into the Premier League top four. With Chelsea seemingly unstoppable at the moment and the Magpies showing great form in the league, this looked like being a cracker. That was until Alan Pardew's men collapsed to a 4-0 humbling at lowly Wigan Athletic on Saturday. Chelsea's aforementioned drubbing of QPR has left them just a point behind Newcastle and with Tottenham Hotspur still very much in the mix, both sides will need to get something out of this. TICKET INFO

QUEENS PARK RANGERS v STOKE CITY (Sunday 6 May, 2pm)

Recent victories over the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs had left QPR and their supporters feeling optimistic nay bullish about their chances of picking something up from their trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday but how wrong they were. Even with players rested, the Blues steamrollered them with ease. With a trip to Manchester City awaiting the Rs on the final day, a home win over Stoke looks absolutely essential if they are to stay up. There are still a few tickets left although they must be bought in advance, none will be available on the day. TICKET INFO

WEST HAM UNITED v CARDIFF CITY (Monday 7 May, 430pm)

It seems almost unthinkable that a side who has spent most of the season in the top two and has only lost one of its last 18 matches hasn't earned automatic promotion but that is the case for West Ham. Sadly for them, half of those games ended in draws meaning that they were ultimately eclipsed by Reading and Southampton. In order to go up with them they are going to have to get the better of the Bluebirds over two legs with the all important second home one on Monday afternoon. The signs look quite good for the Hammers who enter the end of season shoot-out on the back of two wins against Leicester City and Hull City - both decent sides themselves. The Welsh club are also in decent form, however, they are notorious for choking in the play-offs having come unstuck there for the last two years. Third time lucky? TICKET INFO

CHARLTON ATHELTIC v HARTLEPOOL UNITED (Saturday 5 May, 3pm)

Saturday is set to be a day of celebration at The Valley as the Addicks bring to an end a season where they have pretty much lead from start to finish. With the League One title already in the bag, the former Premier League club will look to beat Hartlepool to take their points tally to 101. At the time of writing, this match is officially sold out but the club are saying some returns could be available from the box office. TICKET INFO

DARTFORD v BASINGSTOKE TOWN (Sunday 6 May, 3pm)

The hosts have had a fine season with their haul of 88 points being enough to have won them the Blue Square Bet South title in previous years. However, they came up against Woking who have been exceptional meaning they have had to settle for second and a place in the play-offs. The top five in this division seemed to have set up their own mini-league a little while back as they pulled further away from everyone else. It wasn't until Basingstoke crashed the party at Chelmsford City's expense four days before the end of the season that anyone else had broken through for months. The visitors sealed their place yesterday by drawing at Welling United who they could meet again in the play-off final. Basingstoke have marginally the better momentum coming into this so they could cause an upset over the two legs (the first is on 2 May). CLUB INFO

WELLING UNITED v SUTTON UNITED (Sunday 6 May, 3pm)

These two meet in the other Blue Square Bet South play-off semi-final second leg just down the road on the same day. Although they ended the season seven points apart, recent form for both the sides is pretty similar with three wins from their last five. The last time they met at Park View Road just over a month ago it ended in a 0-0 draw so there really is little to choose between them. If you can't make it to this game, then try and get to the first leg at Sutton on 2 May, details on the match map above. TICKET INFO

AFC HORNCHURCH v BURY TOWN (Wednesday 2 May, 745pm)

Having been in the fight for the Ryman League Premier Division title until last weekend, the Urchins have had to settle for second and a place in the play-offs. In this league these ties are decided over just one leg with home advantage going to the team who finishes the season higher in the table. Therefore if the Essex club win this game they will be at home to Lowestoft Town or Wealdstone in the final on 7 May. Whether they do is by no means a foregone conclusion having lost three of their last five - their two wins were against teams who ended up getting relegated. Conversely, Bury have won three and drawn one of their last five and crushed Tooting & Mitcham United 7-1 at Imperial Fields on the final day to secure their place. I can see the hosts tripping up. TICKET INFO

DULWICH HAMLET v FOLKESTONE INVICTA (Wednesday 2 May, 745pm)

After watching Dulwich succumb to eventual champions Whitehawk two weeks ago, a disappointing 1-0 defeat at struggling Burgess Hill Town on the final day ensured they finished third and had to make do with a place in the Ryman League Division One South play-offs. Two defeats in three makes the club from SE22 look vulnerable especially when faced with a Folkestone side who have won their last four. However, Dulwich do have home advantage and start the match in the knowledge that they comfortably did the double over the Kent club this season beating them 5-2 at home and 3-1 away. The hosts to edge it. TICKET INFO

MIDDLESEX CHARITY CUP FINAL

NORTHWOOD v ASHFORD TOWN (MIDDLESEX)

(Monday 7 May, 730pm)

The Bank Holiday weekend comes to a close when these two meet for a bit of late-season silverware at Wealdstone's Grosvenor Vale. These local rivals both compete in the Evostik League Southern Division One Central. Northwood harboured play-off ambitions until the final day but disappointingly lost 5-2 at Leighton Town to finish seventh, three points adrift. Ashford didn't do too badly either ending up just a couple of places behind them in ninth. Although having made it to the Middlesex Charity Cup final three times, Northwood have yet to win while Ashford have triumphed once in their history back in 2000. Tickets for this match are £10 for adults and £5 concessions.

TLFG: 23-29 April 2012

For one reason or another it had been a month since I'd last been to Loftus Road - to watch Queens Park Rangers record a dramatic 3-2 win over Liverpool.

In the build-up to the game I mentioned in this blog that a good result for Rangers could be the 'pivotal moment of their season' and so it seems to have been.

Since picking up three points against the Reds, QPR have notched consecutive home wins against Arsenal and Swansea City (home wins had been virtually non-existent before that) to give themselves a fighting chance of avoiding relegation from the Premier League.

So it was with renewed confidence that I and many other Hoops fans headed to the game with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Spurs have for the most part had a great season and were even in title contention for a while. However, their form has dipped sharply over the last couple of months meaning they were vulnerable.

The hosts started brightly and more than matched their opponents' star-packed team - the likes of Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Scott Parker were all made to look human.

The only goal of the game came midway through the first half when QPR were awarded a fortunate free-kick and former Tottenham player Adel Taarabt curled into the bottom corner. To me it seemed to travel in slow motion and perhaps goalkeeper Brad Friedel should've done better.

QPR enjoyed another crucial win on Saturday but will they stay up?

Mark Hughes' team continued to look reasonably comfortable after the break until Taarabt picked up a second yellow card and got sent off. It was his side's eighth red card of the season but unlike most previous occasions it came late in the game meaning they only had to defend their lead for 15 minutes rather than the 60+ they are used to.

Despite the initiative being handed to Tottenham during the closing stages, QPR 'parked the bus' superbly and nothing got through.

The win leaves the W12 club three points above the relegation zone with three to play so there is plenty still to do. However, they have now closed to within a win of Aston Villa and have put Wigan between themselves and the bottom three.

Their final home game in two weeks' time against Stoke City is on general sale so if you're in London or thinking about it, I thoroughly recommend a trip to Shepherd's Bush for what will be a crucial match.

TLFG TOP 10

CHELSEA v QUEENS PARK RANGERS (Sunday 29 April, 130pm)

Although Fulham are geographically closer to Chelsea, the rivalry between  the Blues and QPR is historically more fierce. The sides have met twice already this season in league and cup and both have recorded a 1-0 win each. Sadly both games have been notable for a racism row involving Anton Ferdinand and John Terry. The latter is accused of saying something he shouldn't have towards the end of the first meeting in October and the bad blood carried through to the cup game three months later. Although this will again be a talking point in the coming days, it shouldn't overshadow that this is also a really important game for both clubs. Chelsea will be freshly returned from their Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona and will need the points to try and get back into the Premier League top four. Anything other than defeat for QPR will be a massive bonus as they look to avoid the drop. Chelsea should win but little will be expected of Rangers who could knick something if they are at the top of their game. TICKETS: SOLD OUT

WEST HAM UNITED v HULL CITY (Saturday 28 April, 1230pm)

How important this match turns out to be will depend on how well the Hammers do at Leicester City on Monday. If they win they will find themselves just two points behind second place Southampton going into the final day of the Championship season. If the Saints fail to win against Coventry and West Ham beat Hull then automatic promotion could very much be on the cards for Sam Allardyce's side as the goal difference between them is close. Even if West Ham do slip up at the Walkers Stadium, the club are giving play-off ticket priority to those who attend this game. TICKET INFO

BRENTFORD v SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY (Saturday 28 April, 3pm)

This League One match is massive for both clubs as they go for promotion. The Bees must win if they are to keep their slim hopes of a play-off place alive but even if they do it may not be enough. Above them the Owls are currently third just a point behind bitter city rivals Sheffield United - only one of them can get automatic promotion. Griffin Park is likely to be packed so the atmosphere should be great. When the sides last met in November it ended 0-0 so expect another close one here. TICKET INFO

BARNET v AFC WIMBLEDON (Saturday 28 April, 3pm)

Two of London's former non-league clubs meet at Underhill on the penultimate day of the League Two season. The Dons secured their place in the division a week or two ago but Barnet are still in the thick of the relegation dogfight. A miserable sequence of nine games without a win has left the Bees just two points above the relegation zone. A win here could therefore be enough to keep them up if fellow strugglers Hereford and Macclesfield both come unstuck. Although the visitors have nothing to play for, they come into this match on the back of 2-0 win over promotion chasing Torquay so will be dangerous opponents. TICKET IN

HAMPTON & RICHMOND v BASINGSTOKE TOWN (Tuesday 24 April, 745pm)

The Beavers' fight against relegation from the Blue Square Bet South took another step backwards on Saturday when they slipped to a 2-0 home defeat against Welling United who secured third spot in the process. Although they have slipped to second from bottom they remain only two points adrift of safety with a game in hand on the sides immediately above them. That crucial extra fixture takes place on Tuesday night against Basingstoke. Sadly for the hosts, the match is of equal importance to the visitors who have won seven of their last eight games to give them a real chance of stealing into the play-off places right at the death. All Premier and Football League season-ticket holders get in for half price. TICKET INFO

SUTTON UNITED v FARNBOROUGH (Saturday 28 April, 3pm)

Although at the time of writing they could mathematically still be caught by Basingstoke, Sutton have guaranteed a place in the Blue Square Bet South play-offs. It is a fine achievement by the south London side who came up from the Ryman League last season. Farnborough, despite a five-point deduction, have secured their place in the division so don't have anything to play for. It's just as well because the U's form from earlier in the campaign has deserted them, having won only two of their last 10. Saturday has also been designated a Community Fun Day with all sorts of activities going on with kids getting in for only £1. TICKET INFO

WEALDSTONE v CONCORD RANGERS (Saturday 28 April, 3pm)

Several title/promotion/relegation issues were settled on Saturday in the Ryman League Premier Division but the battle for the last two play-off places is still wide open. Six teams are in with a shout of grabbing a place and one of those is Wealdstone. As a result of two impressive cup runs, the Stones have had to get through a sizeable fixture backlog which has seen them play six times in the last two weeks. Five of those were in the league and four of them were won. The Ruislip-based club are now one point and one place off the play-off places with a game in hand. If they win at Margate in midweek then they will jump up to fourth and then try and protect that by beating Concord on the final day. All Premier and Football League season-ticket holders get in for half price. TICKET INFO

AVELEY v HENDON (Saturday 28 April, 3pm)

Another team who could squeak in behind them are Hendon. They only have this match to go and come into it having thrashed already relegated Tooting & Mitcham United 5-0. Confidence should be high on this trip to Essex as Aveley have also been relegated and are five without a win. The Greens have been there or thereabouts all season and even lead the Ryman League at one point so they are well worth a place in the play-offs. It would be a great achievement for a team who are run by a supporters' trust, don't have their own ground and struggle to achieve the crowds their play deserves. CLUB INFO

KENT SENIOR CUP FINAL

DARTFORD v HYTHE TOWN 

(Tuesday 24 April, 745pm @Dartford FC)

On Tuesday, Dartford play host to Hythe Town as they look to defend the cup they won last year. Having beaten Charlton Athletic in the semi-finals, the Darts are overwhelming favourites to win. Not only are they the second best team in the Blue Square Bet South (two divisions above their opponents) but they have partly achieved that by only losing once in their last 15 outings. Hythe have had a much more modest season in the Ryman League Division One South but are on course for a top-eight finish. With the end of season play-offs looming, Dartford may rest a few key players to even things up but a good contest should ensue whatever. Tickets: £10 adults, £5 concessions, £2 U12s (although free with a paying adult).

SPARTAN SOUTH MIDLANDS LEAGUE CHALLENGE TROPHY FINAL

HILLINGDON BOROUGH v HARINGEY BOROUGH

(Tuesday 24 April, 745pm @Hanwell Town FC)

If Dartford is too far to travel, then you have the chance to see another cup final on the same night at Hanwell Town. Located a short walk from Perivale tube station on the west side of London, you can watch the 'Battle of the Boros' in the Spartan League Cup. The two Premier Division sides should be pretty evenly matched although Haringey have had the better season, currently fourth, and should start as favourites. No ticket details as yet but standard Spartan League admission for adults is around £6.

TLFG: 16-22 April 2012

As with so many other ground visits for me this season, Saturday afternoon at Dulwich Hamlet's Champion Hill was a trip down memory lane.

I think the last time I made my way to SE22 to watch the Pink and Blues was in the early '90s shortly after the famous ground had been re-opened following its renovation.

It was at the time one of the best non-league grounds around and I can remember some excitement in going to visit it with Harrow Borough for a game which I think they won.

With this in mind I headed off from W12 and enjoyed a smooth journey through parts of London that are largely untouched by the Tube network. As I've mentioned before, people from my side of town rarely venture to these parts so it is interesting to see how green and hilly these areas are compared to my own.

Champion Hill is historic but so too is Herne Hill Velodrome which the train passes on its way to and from Tulse Hill. Luckily there was a race meet in progress so I caught a glimpse of the venue in use as I passed it.

From East Dulwich station, Hamlet's ground is only a short walk away which makes it one of the easiest grounds to get to by public transport in London.

With the best part of 20 years having elapsed since my last visit, I wondered how much the stadium would've changed/deteriorated.

On arrival I joined a queue of about 30 people at the turnstile, something I hadn't seen at a non-league ground all season - the visit of Whitehawk for the Ryman League Division One South table-topping clash obviously proving to be quite a draw.

A sizeable crowd enjoys the action at Champion Hill

With my exact change (£8) at the ready, the gentleman in front of me suddenly turned and said he was on the guest list and had a spare 'plus one' - would I like it? I gratefully accepted and went in - great start!

The buzz within the ground was evident as soon as I entered but I opted to head to the south side of the pitch where it was quieter and afforded the best view of the ground.

As I took it all in, I realised that nothing had really changed. The impressive grandstand/clubhouse still dominated things and the pitch was still a bit ropey in parts. However, the support had swelled massively (there were over 600 on Saturday) and there was a real feeling that the club was part of the local community.

Although technically a neutral I began the game wanting league leaders Dulwich to win, mainly because of an acquaintance I hold with captain Francis Duku who I've had the pleasure of meeting through Non-League Day.

Dulwich unsuccessfully try to get back in the game

Sadly third placed Whitehawk came flying out of the blocks and had James Fraser to thank for two fine goals which put them 2-0 up after only 16 minutes. Although the hosts were much improved after the break and spent a lot of time in the Sussex club's penalty area, they hardly worked the goalkeeper and it ended 2-0.

The already close top three (also including Bognor) now only have one point between them with two games to go. If Dulwich are your local club and you haven't been to see them, their last home game of the season is on Saturday (21 April) against Faversham Town. Get down there and cheer them on to promotion.

TLFG TOP 10

CHELSEA v BARCELONA (Wednesday 18 April, 745pm)

Chelsea are currently in the early stages of a run of six games which will see them play four London derbies and two legs of a Champions League semi-final against arguably the best team in the world - it really doesn't get much tougher. The Catalan club are the overwhelming favourites coming into this match having won their last 11 league games (they haven't lost in any competition since 2 November) and they hold the balance of power in the head-to-head between the two sides too - Chelsea's last win was in 2006. If Roberto Di Matteo pulls off a win over two legs, the Blues manager's job must be his for next season. TICKETS: SOLD OUT

ARSENAL v CHELSEA (Saturday 21 April, 1245pm)

With Barcelona out of the way, Chelsea then have to take on the Gunners at the Emirates. Despite a recent slip up at QPR, Arsene Wenger's side are still joint top of the Premier League form table having won nine of their last 11 games. The run has left them sitting comfortably in third with a match on Monday against Wigan still to play before this. The Blues' recent record against Arsenal is pretty decent though having won three of their last five encounters. From the neutral's perspective there are usually quite a few goals (eight back in October) and draws are rare (the last one was in 2007). The west London club probably need the points that little bit more than the Gunners but fatigue might be an issue for them. TICKETS: SOLD OUT

QPR v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (Saturday 21 April, 530pm)

Another crucial London derby takes place in Shepherd's Bush later the same day when Queens Park Rangers continue their scrap against relegation against Spurs who need the points to try and get back into the Champions League. Many, including myself, had written off QPR's chances of staying up because of their horrendous run-in but three straight home wins over Liverpool, Arsenal and Swansea have given them cause for hope. A couple of months ago, the thought of beating Tottenham would've been unthinkable but their results, by their previously very high standards, have started to dip. QPR v Spurs games back in the '90s always used to be well contested so I'm expecting another great London derby here. TICKET INFO

CHARLTON ATHLETIC v WYCOMBE WANDERERS (Saturday 21 April, 3pm)

On Saturday a win at Carlisle saw the Addicks clinch promotion from League One back to the Championship to complete the first part of the former Premier League side's revival. This weekend you can be there as they attempt to seal the league title. A win over Wycombe will be enough if second placed Sheffield United draw or lose at MK Dons. However, the Buckinghamshire club will be fully intending to ruin the party as they badly need to win themselves to avoid the drop, sitting as they do just three points adrift of safety. TICKET INFO

HAMPTON & RICHMOND BORO v WELLING UNITED (Saturday 21 April, 3pm)

The Beavers have improved a lot recently which has left them in a good position to avoid relegation from the Blue Square Bet South. However, a defeat on Saturday at Eastbourne has seen them stay in the bottom three. Fortunately they have games in hand on their nearest rivals and one of those comes against Salisbury on Tuesday. If they win that then they will be well placed to take on the challenge posed by promotion-chasing Welling on Saturday. The Wings have already confirmed their place in play-offs and are unbeaten against Hampton in six. Mark Harper will have to hope his side are the more motivated to win as Welling will almost certainly finish third whatever they do in their final two regular season games. All Premier and Football League season-ticket holders get in for half price. TICKET INFO

LONDON SENIOR CUP FINAL (WEDNESDAY 18 April, 730pm)

KINGSTONIAN v HENDON (at Metropolitan Police FC)

If Chelsea v Barcelona isn't for you, there's surely only one place to be on Wednesday night and that's at Imber Court for the London Senior Cup final. With holders Wingate & Finchley dumped out back in November, there will be a different winner this year. Both sides have a decent pedigree in this competition having won it three times each. However, Hendon  have the better recent history in the event having reached four of the last five finals. They also warmed up for this by beating the K's 2-1 at Vale Farm on Saturday and are generally in better form so the smart money looks to be on them. TICKET INFO

HARROW BOROUGH v AFC HORNCHURCH (Saturday 21 April, 3pm)

Both sides came into this weekend's fixtures off the back of draws in huge local derbies as they attempted to beat the drop/go for the title. Both then proceeded to lose to teams below them in the table to make their tasks a lot harder. Hornchurch's 2-1 loss at Wealdstone, themselves going for a play-off spot, was understandable but Harrow's 3-1 reverse at Hastings who were on a dreadful run was very disappointing. The results, with two games to go, have left the Urchins five points behind the leaders Billericay while Harrow are just three points above the relegation zone. Essentially both teams need to win. Hornchurch look the more likely but Harrow are very unpredictable and do pull off unexpected results every so often. All Premier and Football League season-ticket holders get in for half price. CLUB INFO

ENFIELD TOWN v LEISTON (Saturday 21 April, 3pm)

The top two in the Ryman League Division One North go head-to-head at the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium on Saturday in a match that could decide the title. Leaders Leiston could have wrapped up the title on Saturday but surprisingly lost 3-1 at midtable Maldon & Tiptree while Enfield hammered Cheshunt 5-0. The gap is now four points with two games to go, meaning the hosts will need to win if they are to stay in contention. The last time the clubs met in December, the Suffolk side edged to a 2-1 victory so there's little to choose between them. TICKET INFO

DULWICH HAMLET v FAVERSHAM TOWN (Saturday 21 April, 3pm)

After blowing their chance to take a giant stride towards the Ryman League Division One South title on Saturday, Dulwich Hamlet have another go when they face Faversham in their last home match of the regular season. The Kent club are in lower midtable, have absolutely nothing to play for and their form isn't great either having gone five without a win. Surely only nerves can stop the Londoners winning this one. TICKET INFO

NORTHWOOD v BURNHAM (Saturday 21 April, 3pm)

Like other local side Uxbridge, the Woods are making a late charge for a place in the Evostik League Southern Division One Central play-offs. On Saturday the Reds consolidated their place in fourth with a 1-1 draw against Leighton Town while Northwood moved to within three points of the play-off places with a stunning 3-1 win at Beaconsfield SYCOB, one of the teams they have to catch. Burnham meanwhile are another team with little to play for at this point and have only won one of their last six so the hosts should have a great chance to further their promotion claims.
