Newton Linford (Leicestershire) have made a plea for help via Twitter with their tie in Pembrokeshire, a round trip of almost 500 miles. They have a league match on Saturday which may not finish until about 7:00pm and are faced with the choice of driving to Wales that night or by coach on Sunday which would enable them to take supporters, this being their preferred option but at a cost they had not budgeted for. I will post any outcome of their request.

The pavilion pictured is that of Shipton Under Wychwood who were beaten at Cookham Dene last week. My wife and I called at this picturesque ground on Friday but alas there was only net practice to capture our attention.
