AFC Stoneham – Play Off Final

Well here we are in the final two. A trip to AFC Stoneham to fight for a place in the Pitching In Southern League South & West Division. For one of the teams in will be trips to Larkhall Athletic, Bideford, Mousehole and Willand Rovers for the other Hythe & Dibden, Blackfield & Langley and Christchurch once more.
