Amazing! The closest title race ever in English football.

[CTMilller]

Truro City beat St Albans 5-2 to take the title. They're promoted to the National League, the first side from Cornwall ever to reach this level, apparently.

All six clubs in contention won their games so nothing changed in terms of league positions. The other five now all go into a six team play-off tournament.

In looking into this I also noticed that Western-super-Mare just failed to make the play-offs. In Ericsladkilnhurst's interesting thread on ex- Rotherham players in the news, I see that Reuben Reid (now 36) has been pretty prolific for them. Always liked him ever since I watched his trial game at Don Valley where he made a really good impression.

Of personal interest is the possible return of Dorking Wanderers to the National League having made one of the National League South play-off spots. (I owned a house and briefly lived in Dorking many years ago and follow the team with a mild level of enthusiasm.)

Sorry for this rather rambling post. I'm revving up to go out and do some gardening but it's a bit cold and I'm finding excuses to stay in the warm...

A very interesting reply Sir and of info I wasn't aware of. I'm not surprised you once resided in Dorking.....you've lived all over the world!

Thanks for the original post, Brin. I love stuff like that but don't pick too much of it up being far away.

I just ran through them and Dorking is the 19th of the 30 homes I've lived in since I started on Pear Tree Avenue in Bramley.

I think I have covered it before but my late mining buddy lived on Pear Tree Avenue. He would have been about 90 now had he lived. He was called Gerald Davis and his background was he came from a famous circus family trapeze act many moons ago.
