Stevenage turn down bid for club
Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace today revealed that he had turned down a bid for the club from a Bedfordshire based consortium. Wallace indicated that he was enjoying working at Stevenage and the he was under no pressure to sell. Meanwhile, on the field things were set back a little for Boro when they went down 4-1 at Morecambe on Saturday, but that came after an excellent 2-0 win at home to the then league leaders Exeter on Tuesday thanks to goals from George Boyd and Dannie Bulman. Boro now sit in 6th, 5 points off the joint leaders Grays and Accrington, about where they would want to be at this stage

Cents Through to Final Playoff
Rugby Roundup
Another weekend of success for Matchbeat teams. As the rugby league season builds to a climax St Albans Centurions proved their place among National League Threes elite by beating Warrington Wizards comfortably at Woollams.
Kristian Warner had an outstanding game at full back while recent acquisitions Nick Surtees and Farren Mahoney scored two tries apiece
Cents now play Bradford Dudley Hill Demons next Saturday October 1st to decide Bramley's opponents in the Grand Final.
In the weekend's union matches Hertford secured a hat-trick of league victories with a narrow win against new boys Bracknell.
The result was a repeat of last Saturdays win at Bridgwater and leaves the Blues in 2nd place alongside joint unbeaten clubs North Walsham and Cambridge
Old Albanians enjoyed their first win of the Powergen London One season at the expense of Herts rivals Tabard.
Letchworth are up and running in London Two North beating Norwich but St Albans remain without a point after failing to trouble the scorers at Thurrock
Newly promoted Stevenage got their season going in London Three North West with victory at Fullerians but Welwyn lost in a low scoring game at Tring
And Datchworth showed last years run was no flash in the pan winning their first away game in London Four North West at Hammersmith & Fulham.

Tide Goes Out on Bury's Cup Dream
FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round
St Margaretsbury 0 Folkestone Invicta 1
A 72nd minute goal from Michael Everitt was enough to end St Margaretsbury's dreams of FA Cup glory. Everitt slid the ball home after Bury keeper Kris Smithers failed to cut out a left wing cross. For the most part the home side more than matched their Ryman Premier League opponents and should have gone in front on the half hour when Ryan Brown wasted their best opportunity of the match blasting over with only the keeper to beat. That was as close as Bury got to repeating their 1st Qualifying Round heroics as Folkestone held on to take their place in Monday's draw.

Young Shield 1st Rd 1st Leg
Rye House Rockets 62 Isle of Wight 30
The Rockets easily beat the Islanders for the third time this season at Hoddesdon to give themselves a great chance of progressing to the next round. Victory came at a price though as Stuart Robson was involved in a spectacular Heat 6 crash. Having missed the start Robson careered into the 3rd bend fence and was taken to hospital with a suspected broken arm. Chris Neath top scored on the night notching a 15 point maximum on his return from a back injury.

Rockets Take Title
The Rye House Rockets are the new Speedway Premier League Champions. the title was confirmed when second placed Berwick went down by 48-41 at Sheffield leaving Rye House on top of the table with a meeting to spare. Its the first time that the Rockets have won the Championship in 25 years. They will have little time to celebrate though as they host the Isle of Wight in the first leg of the Young Shield on Friday (7:30) followed by the second leg of the Knock Out Cup Semi final against Reading (7:00) the following night.

Stevenage reduce losses
Stevenage Borough today posted their financial figures for last year, recording losses of just under £10,000. This was an amazing achievement for the Broadhall Way outfit, as it was roughly 10% of the losses for the same period last year, despite the lack of a major cup run. In footballing matters, Ronnie Henry will serve a one match ban for his late dismissal in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Hereford. The defender was dismissed for a second bookable offence after taking down Daniel Carey Bertram in the last minute.

Rye House Rockets secured a sensational win at Exeter to put the Premier League title within their grasp. If the Rockets win their final two home meetings against Newport and Somerset they will be crowned champions for the first time in 25 years.

Tacey dropped one point from his five rides as the Rockets completed a memorable night.

Barker Off as Brave Bury Live On
FA Cup 1st Qualifying Round
St Margaretsbury 0 Billericay 0
Bury survived for 65 minutes with ten men against their Ryman Premier League opponents to earn a memorable draw at the Recreation Ground.

George Boyd could have sealed victory for Stevenage after 60 minutes but his shot was superbly saved by Halifax keeper Ian Dunbavin.

Local Radio MD Denies Axeing Sport
Hertbeat FM Managing Director Brett Harley has denied axeing local sport from the stations schedule. In an e-mail to an irate listener Harley said there had been no decision to remove local sport. The station has replaced its 4 hour flagship show Matchbeat and morning local sports news with 3 one minute updates during Saturday afternoon's. The updates are sponsored by local club Broxbourne Borough FC who's results are not mentioned by the station as part of the deal. The decision will leave fans of non league football below the Nationwide Conference, National League Rugby and Premier League Speedway frustrated with a lack of coverage for their local clubs.
