I saw the semi-final win at Hamble, that was a cracking game in the rain.

A win would cap a fine season for the Purps, only goal difference in the end preventing them going into the Southern League.

I was also at that semi and what a fantastic game it was considering the dreadful conditions.

I see Lymington have allegedly been relegated, almost certainly to the Wessex League, after supposedly failing ground grading criteria.

I assume they can appeal this but having already been given two years extension to meet the specifications I wouldn't be hopeful.

Shame from a playing point of view after they were well adrift earlier in the season and turned it round to finish one above the standard bottom 4.

Millbrook FC will therefore be reinstated and we will face them in the final on Thursday 11th May.'
