The biggest match of the season

Forget your Champions League Finals, Premiership relegation deciders and Championship play-offs, the biggest match of the 2006-7 season takes place tonight.




Tonight sees the number one footballing side in Leeds, Farsley Celtic, take on Hinckley United in the Nationwide Conference North play-off final. At a time when our major football club are doing nothing but bring embarassment to the city of Leeds, Lee Sinnot's men could earn their second promotion in as many years should they win at Burton this evening.

Forget all your fancy-dan, multimillionaire superstars in your UEFA 5-star stadia, this is football at its rawest. There'll be no sign of injury feigning and elaborate play-acting, just two teams of eleven blokes trying to beat each other until one of them wins a place in the highest
division of non-league football.

If I could have gone, I would but instead I'll have to be content with Setanta Sports in the supporters club, such is life.

But still we can dream: The right result and we could end up making away days to exotic places like York, Halifax and Weymouth.

Bring it on!
