Boro made hard work of it, but made it through safely to the 1st round proper of the FA Cup after beating Chelmsford City at Melbourne Park. Graham Westley named a strong side, knowing that the Blue Square South side would be no pushovers. Eddie Odhiambo came back into the side on the left wing while Yemi Odubade once again partnered the in form Charlie Griffin upfront.

It was a frustrating night at the Lamex Stadium last night as Boro were held to a 0-0 draw by Wrexham. It wasn't the best game you will ever see and with the rain just before the game the pitch was very slick which made it difficult to control for both sides. Boro made one change to Saturday with Chris Beardsley starting in place of Andy Drury who again seems to be struggling to keep fit this season.

Boro's good form continued on Saturday with a hard working win against Salisbury. Boro lined up with Bostwick one again at centre half and Yemi Odubade continuing up front alongside former Salisbury man Charlie Griffin. Once again Lee Boylan and Mitchell Cole missed out through injury and they were joined by Eddie Odhiambo who picked up a knock last week against Hayes & Yeading.

On the back of Boro's biggest win of the season so far last Saturday, we entertain in-form Salisbury at The Lamex Stadium tomorrow. It may prove to be a tough game however history is on our with 4 wins and one draw in our last 6 meetings. Our last defeat was back in March 2008 when Matt Tubbs scored a last gasp winner to deny Peter Taylor's team from going second in the league at the time.

They got relegated last season. But it was only 2006 when PSIS were puching Persik Kediri all the way for the Indonesian title. But the days of I Koman Putra, Harry Salisbury, Gustavo Hernan Ortiz and Emmanuel de Porras are nowt but a distant memory for the fans of the PSIS who next season will line up in the Premier League, Indonesia's second tier.

So last week here I introduced you to Grace Gill, the face of Canberra United for Westfield W-League season two. Now Football Federation Australia have introduced two more, Adelaide United's Angela Fimmano and Brisbane Roar's Jenna Tristram.
And it seems the FFA are onto this reporting women's football for women thing, the Q&A's with both Tristram and Fimmano include questions about their favourite Westfield store and in the 'fast five', if they prefer heels or havaianas. Click to continue reading...

Crawley are the latest club to introduce 'variable' admission prices after Kettering and Stevenage's new price initiatives' in the last 12 months. Crawley have 'banded' their games so that games against teams like Histon and Salisbury will be a lower price than 'premium' games against the likes of Cambridge and ourselves.

With so very little official news around, except for Canberra United, what's a girl to do to find out what's happening in the W-League? Welcome to an unofficial, but credibly sourced gossip sesh. So the rumour I heard today? That Matildas striker Katie Gill will play for Perth this season.
Perth already have Lisa de Vanna, the source also said she's staying, so that could be the Matildas current starting strike pair in one team. Click to continue reading...

It's been an interesting several months, a mixture of high, low and unbelievable moments which seem to be a regular occurrence as a Boro fan!Â

We finished last season well with a long unbeaten run and another Trophy win. However the 4th May 2009 will not be a day to remember as we surrendered a 3-1 lead at The Abbey.

But that's about it after another disappointing performance saw Stevenage leave Church Road, with just a point. Hayes & Yeading were the better side throughout and if they had taken their chances in the second half it could of been the home side celebrating their first 3 points in the Blue Square Premier.

PSIS Semarang have announced they are dropping their first team squad and will see out their fixtures using Undr 21 players. The side who are currently bottom of the table have said the money pot is empty and they can't afford to keep paying the high salaries to the first team squad.
Understandable really as the current first teamers have managed to lead the once proud club to bottom of the table where they have just four wins and 14 goals to their credit all season. Click to continue reading...

It wasn't the greatest of performances at Broadhall Way, but Graham Westley's Stevenage side dug deep tonight to beat Kettering Town by 2 goals to 1. It shows how much the team has improved in recent months as I'm sure back in November, Boro would of lost this type of game tonight. Kettering were as [. Click to continue reading...

Stevenage saw off Salisbury as they bounced back from that defeat at Eastbourne with 3 points. The 2-0 win puts Boro into the top ten for the first time this season, but it was far from convincing against a Salisbury side lacking confidence. Graham Westley picked his strangest team of the season so far electing to drop [. Click to continue reading...

McEvilly...thankful for the slimming effect of stripes
Salisbury head the nascent Conference table on goal difference over Cambridge. Only two sides are unbeaten through five games and every team has at least one point.
Salisbury's success, as can be seen from the tables below, has been based on making the most of their attempts and the good goalkeeping of James Bittner. Click to continue reading...
