The "ontheroad 2013-2014" season was not a classic one, by any stretch of the imagination.
113 games is not a bad total for the campaign and 472 goals is a decent quantity, but some of the games were instantly forgettable.
So, as we wind down this season's blog in preparation for a new challenge next season, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took a little of their time to read the posts and hope one or two were of some interest!
This is the 187th and final post of the 2013-2014 blog - that is a lot down on previous seasons, but still a lot of writing! My excuse? I had a serious loss of interest around the end of 2013 and missed quite a few games.

Goal of the season: Has to be Martin Lench's 40+ yarder for Kimberley MW v Magdala.
Best game: Probably Arnold Tn U19 1-3 Southwell City U19's. What a great advert for the U19 game.
Worst game: Sorry, I had to chose one, and Hucknall Tn v Holbrook St. Michaels is still stuck in the memory as the one game that made you want the two hours of your life back!
Most feisty game: Has to be Kirkby Town v Sycamore Saints - red cards, fights and was eventually abandoned!
Most foul mouthed team: Expected it to be a men's team? Oh no - it has to be Newcastle Utd Ladies. Talk about Geordie Shore! %~@*ing potty mouths!!
Best come back: Forest Ladies coming from 0-2 down 3-2 win over Leeds Utd was good, but not quite as good as Heanor's remarkable 4-3 win against Long Eaton Utd, the Lions turning around a 0-3 half-time deficit to grab all three points.
Nil-nils?: Only one - Kimberley MW v Hucknall Rolls, but as that was abandoned at half-time, does it count?
Double figures?: Only one - Kirkby Town 10-2 Stratford Haven
Sad to see them go: Eastwood Town, T8's.
I couldn't possibly choose a "most friendly" club - there are so many that if I miss one out, I may be in serious trouble!!
So endeth a less than enjoyable season, but here's to "ontheroad 2014-2015" - hopefully for "maggie's", it will be a good and fruitful one!
Hope you all have a good break - see you in July!!!
