As I have done ever since I started All Roads Lead Somewhere a brief review of my football watching
season will end the proceedings, though this time it will not be a case of "back in July" but thank
you and goodnight.

A difficult decision has been made that come then end of this season when All Roads Lead Somewhere
will reach its 5th birthday, there will be no more posts. Everything has its life cycle and I feel
that the time is right for this blog to end.
I would like to thank all the people that have visited the site, whether it be just the once or
regularly over the past five years.
LUTTERWORTH TOWN 4-0 SHEPSHED DYNAMO RESERVESSaturday 7th April 2012
Leicestershire Senior League Division 1
Coventry Road Recreation Ground
With the season coming to a close, and despite Oadby Town having a top of the table clash with
Borrowash Victoria I thought it bout time I paid a visit to Lutterworth Towns' home for this
season, the Coventry Road Recreation Ground.
OUNDLE TOWN 1-3 CROWLAND TOWN Saturday 31st March 2012 Peterborough & District League
Premier Division Station Road, Oundle, PE8 4BZ
Today was a case of using up a get out of jail free card as Oundle got us (Dave and myself) out the
proverbial shitter. It had been planned to watch Corby Khalsa v Welford Victoria in the Northants
Combination (NC) Premier Division, which we thought was being played at Corby Rugby Club.
FOSSE CITY 3-1 WEBBYS WANDERERSSunday 25th March 2012
Alliance Football League Division 2
Knighton Park [pitch 1], Leicester, LE18 1EF
With this being the last Sunday shift for the wife today for a while, and with Leicester, like a
lot of the country bathed in glorious sunshine I decided to taken in another Sunday League game.
OADBY TOWN 1-2 GEDLING MINERS WELFARE
Saturday 24th March 2012
East Midlands Counties League
Greene King Park
No report today but photos of the game can be viewed below:
A couple of weeks ago I attended the Belper United v Newark Town match in the Central Midlands
League, and during the week after the game Newark's press officer and programme editor Richard Lane
got in touch asking if he could use a couple of photos in a forthcoming issue of their programme. I
had no problem with this and Richard kindly sent me a copy.
OSSETT TOWN 0-1 WITTON ALBION Saturday 17th March 2012 Northern Premier League
Division 1 North Ingfield, Prospect Road, WF5 9HAToday sees a rare trip up to the Peoples Republic of Yorkshire for a visit to Ossett Town Football
Club. This was not my original plan as I had penciled a game in the more local Northants
Combination, but this suggestion from good friend Kevin Zupp who wanted to visit the ground before
the bulldozers cometh.
I.Q.R.A. 1-5 Syston Midland Railway Sunday 11th March 2012 Leicester Sunday
League Premier Cup Group C Evington Park [pitch 1], Leicester, LE5 6DE
With the wife being given another Sunday shift at her work and also with the weather being
favourable unlike last Sunday, I decided to take in another Leicester Sunday League game for the
second time in three weeks, which like the previous one is at a venue that is not used by a
Saturday side.
BELPER UNITED 3-1 NEWARK TOWN Saturday 10th March 2012 Central Midlands League Division -
South Alton Manor, Nailers Way, DE56 0UT
To be honest I had no plans to anywhere this today but by midweek I was trawling through the
fixtures of league websites that cover the East Midlands.
SILEBY SAINTS 3-0 LUTTERWORTH TOWN Saturday 3rd March 2012 Leicestershire Senior League
Division 1 Platts Lane Sports Ground, Cossington
The choice of game for the Rambler today is a local one and more specifically a visit to one of the
three remaining grounds left to re-complete the Leicestershire Senior League.
GOSCOTE SPARTANS 1-2 SYSTON MIDLAND RAILWAY
Sunday 26th February 2012
Leicester Sunday League Senior Cup

With the better half working this morning between 10am and 1pm this gave me the opportunity to take
in my third Sunday League game this season.
