20th May 2022 - Non League Finals, Littlehampton Town & Boston United

Season 6, Episode 39,   May 20, 2022, 04:00 AM

A busy week in non league so we start with the Non League paper round-up. Jon Couch helps go through a vast array of stuff including the FA Trophy final, The FA Vase final and the National League Play-offs which get underway on Monday. Before all that though on Saturday its the National League Step 2 play-off finals as we find out who will join Gateshead and Maidstone United in promotion to the top tier for next season. Plus we chat about some of the many managerial changes and swaps that have happened this week.

Phil Annets gives us the stats on the FA Vase final with his @FAVaseFactFile hat on and next up is a Chairman of one of those club’s in Sunday's final. Sounding relaxed and ready, Rob McAlees is the kind of Chairman you would think most managers and players would want to work under. They clearly do as his joint management team seem on point and firmly part of the club and the thriving community at Littlehampton Town hoping to make further history this season.

Back on the show for the second time, this season is a manager involved in one of those play-off finals on Saturday. He’s switched clubs since we last spoke and got his new club into the play-offs making history already and now is one game from leading the club to a return to the top level of non league football. Paul Cox has had the necessary impact on Boston United since his arrival in January and with plenty of success and experience on his CV he is confident of a result but also has his feet firmly grounded.
