Match Report from this afternoon's season-closer to follow in the morning - but here, in the meantime, is our final programme-piece of the campaign.
Enjoy - and, on behalf of both me and my esteemed co-writer, many thanks for reading!

Good afternoon everyone - and, for the final time this season, welcome to Edgeley Park.
Despite the season not concluding in promotion, as we had all hoped, County Heaven has, in contrast, had a very successful and productive 2014/15 campaign:
- My esteemed co-writer has taken on the mantle of County’s official match reporter and Twitter correspondent, and I am sure everyone will agree he has done a fantastic job;
- We’ve created the ultimate soundtrack - a two disc A-Z compilation of the 25 best artists in the world (and Queen) of which we are immensely proud;
- A number of our members - and some non-members - walked to and from the recent away game at Hyde (the first one), raising well over £1,200 for charity;
- We’ve got through 7 quizzes, 9 months of Downy’s Prediction League, 56 limericks (3 of which, thanks to some ridiculous decisions, were against Hyde) and countless awful jokes.
Best of all, our online family has expanded, with a number of new members… why not sign up now, to pass the time over the summer and to make sure you don’t miss out next season? And, finally....
A finer tweeter I cannot recommend
And, as the season draws to an end
He’s been looking towards
Handing out some awards
I’ll see you next season, my friend.
Here’s Maccy!

Why - thank you, Sir!
And just before this term finally unravels…
... here are our winners from the season’s travels!
BEST FOOD AWARD: What better way to kick off than with today’s visitors, HARROGATE, who served up a culinary gem in the form of their pulled pork sandwich. How fortunate we were to play there twice!
BEST DRINK AWARD: LEAMINGTON get the nod, courtesy of their bespoke, and rather palatable, brew, Brakes Fluid.
FRIENDLIEST CLUB AWARD: A two-way tie here, based on my match-reporting experiences, between SOLIHULL (whose Club Secretary allowed me to ‘broadcast’ from his office when the wi-fi failed) and BOSTON (whose fans, at their own expense, brought soup to the press box on a freezing afternoon!).
BEST PRE-MATCH MUSIC: It was a case of Studio 54 revisited at BRACKLEY, who served up a delicious confection of frothy ‘70s disco. Their team runs out to Skids’ The Saints Are Coming, too. Peerless.
BEST PROGRAMME AWARD: Still our own, as was the case last year, of course - but a mention in dispatches this time around for an excellent publication by CHORLEY.
BEST JOURNEY AWARD: It may have ultimately been for the match that never was - but walking to and from HYDE (see above) was this year’s winner all the way… and back again!
TRICKIEST JOURNEY AWARD: LOWESTOFT. Need I say more?! Will set off a day earlier next season…
Enjoy the game - and the Summer.
