The National League (Conference) and non league football thread

Well done Mark Stimson's Hornchurch, who beat Hereford in the FA Trophy this afternoon 3-1.

Harrogate didn’t have their hands on the trophy for long.

Grimsby Town (hello we're back again), sign former captain Shaun Pearson from Wrexham on a 2-year deal. He left BP 4 years ago and was well respected by Wrexham fans both on and off the pitch. A born captain and leader but he is 32 now so it remains to be seen if he will be anything like the player he was when he left us. It did cause a lot of controversey among Mariners fans that he was allowed to leave but he's back now.

Pearson Joins The Mariners!

Grimsby Town Football Club are delighted to announce that we have agreed to sign Wrexham F.C. captain Shaun Pearson following the expiration of his contract at the club.

Difficult game for Torquay, I wouldn’t want to call it either way.

Notts won 3-2...They travel to Torquay next Saturday.

It was a really entertaining match. I've got a bit of a soft spot for Chesterfield and they've had a remarkable turnaround this season following the appointment of James Rowe, seemingly out of nowhere. It will be interesting to see whether he's genuinely got something about him as a manager or whether this was just a flash in the pan. Credit to County for the resilience they showed to come back twice and get a late winner - I'm not sure the two week break for Torquay will do them much good. I understand the why for the structure of the play-offs in the National League but the scheduling seems bizarre.

Hartlepool beat Bromley 3-2. Watched the second half , bit scrappy. Hartlepool looked the better side , their forward Oates looked useful.
