Weekly Round-up for Sunday 13th January 2019.
We start with our "Match of the Day" and this week that's the Leamington Referees' Association Andy Campbell Challenge Cup 2018-19 - Round 2 game between Division 2 Real Barston and Division 4 Blackdown.

Blackdown are pushing hard for promotion and are comfortable in second place with games in hand, but Barston have some Cup pedigree to support their lowly position in Division 2.
A bitter wind swept across the Wardens Park and the Blackdown youngsters were on the pace early doors. Within 10 minutes young Cameron Coutts was brought down in the box. A poor penalty easily saved. Barston relieved. The wind was making life difficult for the Barston defenders and it was no surprise when Blackdown took the lead on 30 minutes. A corner from the right went deep and was headed back across the box where it was stabbed home from close range by Sam Nunn. Coutts was a threat and demonstrated his pace down the flanks but Barston held on. With a goal disallowed through a push in the box it remained 1-0 at half time.
The second half continued in the same vein, but now it was Barston with the wind at their backs. Blackdown were forced to deal with the onslaught but the odd foray into Barston territory threatened the Division 2 side who were committed to finding an equaliser. Blackdown had the keeper to thank for several fine saves. With a minute left on the clock Barston were running out of ideas, up popped Philip Richardson to level the score and take the tie to penalty kicks.
The dream ended after Blackdown scored their first spot kick. The Barston stand in keeper played his part with three saves and it was all over.
Real Barston win 3 - 1 on penalties.

We move on to the remaining matches and we start as usual with the Cup Competitions.
