Play-off dreams still alive
Nope, no change in the rules I'm afraid but 
Eastbourne Borough play Hampton and Richmond Borough tonight at Stevenage Borough's Broadhall Way to contest the Conference South play-off final, kick off is at 7.45pm and £13 if you live nearby and fancy giving the Sports a cheer on my behalf!
Borough comprehensively beat Braintree Town 5-0 over two legs in the semi, whilst Hampton knocked Fisher out on penalties.
At one point the Sports looked like they would take the title and automatic promotion but local rivals Lewes overtook them as Borough won only one of their final eight matches, me trumpeting their aspirations obviously put the kibosh on them. However they came good in the play-off's and I'm hoping my inherited non-league team satisfy my promotion fantasies tonight by climbing into the highest non-league tier for the first time in their 44-year history.
UPDATE 4PM. EASTBOURNE WON 2-0. ¶ 14:32
