If we’re going down the route of ex-Leicester. Get Bezza in from Quorn. Set Goughy, Jasper & Mason on Faes, JV & Coady and they’d soon run away quick. Problem solved

Shepshed 1 - 1 Quorn It says a lot when a draw to secure a whole season unbeaten away from home is looked upon in mild disgust. Quorn making a few changes from previous weeks leaving out Captain Rico disrupted the midfield already struggling with no Noble & Bezza present. A huge call from the Ref sending Shepshed Keeper Dan Wallis off for colliding with Paddy Webb when thru on a one on one and after Webb had tried to lob him but the ball bouncing over the bar. Apparently if the goal would have gone in, a yellow would only have been shown. Quorn MOM Billy Kee scoring from the resulting free kick. Missed chances again costing Quorn with the stand in Dynamo Goalie having a blinder. Second half came and it was difficult to see who had the man advantage. Quorn finding it difficult to get the grips with the conditions and pitch resulting in Louis Samuels grabbing the equaliser. The home team could have and should have maybe won the game. The point was enough to take Quorn’s tally to a ridiculous 100 for the season.

Quorn 2 - 0 RC Warwick A pre-match spat on Twitter between Home Secretary and Away Manager livened up the proceedings a little but the game didn’t quite live up to the hype. Warwick rattling the bar twice but eventually succumbed to an absolute Rocket from Captain Rico and Jordan Clarke grabbing the 2nd minutes from time. 21st clean sheet of the season is absolutely ridiculous at Step 4 with a budget similar to that of Step 6 Clubs. Onto tomorrow and a local derby up the Butthole

Been keeping a close eye on the Pilgrims given Quorn had young Striker Luca Alonzi on loan. The loan ended and the idea was to give him more game-time. But given the current situation, staying up is priority and rightly so. Hell of a change in form. Great to see

Loughborough Students 0 - 1 Quorn 100 Goals up for this season. 30 wins. 21 Clean Sheets. It’s easy to switch off now the league is done and dusted but with the club aiming for 100 points for the season, Beswick clearly isn’t allowing any let up. Loughborough clearly waiting for the end of term holidays as making a game of football competitive clearly wasn’t their objective today. A scrappy game with both sides lacking the answers in the final third. Grantham working tirelessly as the lone man upfront. Bello & Fyfe busy in midfield and the back four their usual tight self. Ironic that the goal came from a set piece. Centre back Frizelle meeting a corner unmarked at the back post. Facilities at Loughborough as you would expect as possibly the best in the league. Stunning ground. Abnormally long Sausage Rolls with a poor meat to pastry ratio. Proof you can’t get everything right

Quorn v Loughborough Students away this Saturday if I can get out of being taxi to and from a kids Party held at the ridiculously selfish time of 3-4:45 Ventured out to watch Quorn v Ashby Ivanhoe in last night LMFYL league game. Lad up front for Quorn currently second top goal scorer in the Senior League playing for Aylestone Park Res. According to source, they have some serious young players coming thru

It has to be the case that we can’t afford to pay him off. Can’t be any other reason whatsoever

Watching this remind me of my old gaffer the sadly departed Leicester Legend, Dave Moore. Back in 1997 when managing our Sunday side, when conceding he’d scream ”you’re all cvnts and you’re all on drugs” Only slight issue is cvnts are useful

Genuinely praying for a fan riot. reality will be a 5-0 defeat and about 1000 left at the end clapping them off

Oh Enzo

Darlaston Town 0 - 3 Quorn A journey up the M6 resulting in a Performance worthy of champions. Tbh it was a good reconnaissance mission for next season’s away trips in Step 3 whichever division that may be. The M6 being a kind as it usually is forcing us into a detour around Walsall Ring Road. Great little set-up at Darlo. The Home Team forming a guard of honour before kick off which was well received. Not much in the two teams for the first 20 or so before Quorn started to get a foot in the game. Billy Kee rolling back the years with a bullet header from a Corner for Quorn’s first. Closely followed up with a good second from the ever lovely Cain Noble. Young Oscar Marshall getting the finisher before time. Everything today is what I love about non-league. Visiting grounds you never would usually. Chats with the players. I enjoyed a chat with the Darlo Manager ‘Big Dean’ who’s a top, top fella. Hopefully they’ll build on this season. Roll on next week v Rugby Town and the Trophy lift.

I won’t lie, I don’t watch a lot of our Women’s Team by virtue of it isn’t on TV. Was that an average performance, below or above? Genuinely intrigued

Seem to be contriving to give the ball away at every opportunity possible.

Sunderland at home in the MON era. Never been that cold ever up in the Double Decker

Quorn 3 - 0 Wellingborough War of attrition in the first 20 minutes Wellingborough clearly coming to have a go at Quorn who reverted back to their favoured 4-3-3 formation. Quorn grew into the game and got their reward with Paddy Webb grabbing the first. A quick double salvo from Webb and the ever improving Alonzi on loan from Boston effectively ending the game at HT. Open play from both teams in the second half resulting in chances no one could put away. Full Time arrived and an anxious 7 minute wait for the news to filter through that Corby only managed a 0-0 draw against Coleshill. Queue the celebrations that we’ve been waiting for for weeks. Quorn are champions of Northern League Premier Midlands. Well done to all at the club. What a season
