Steve Jupp, BA11's Club Historian, offers his thoughts on relegation and the season's final away assignment.
Winchester’s 4-1 victory over Chertsey on Saturday confirmed the Robins’ relegation from Southern League Premier Division South.
After giving their absolute all in that breathtaking clash with Dorchester, Danny Greaves’ charges will be looking to end the season on a positive note in their final two fixtures with the first of these away at Plymouth Parkway on Easter Monday.
Parkway too faced the drop for a good chunk of the campaign and as recently as early February, were in the bottom four before an upturn in results. SIX wins in their last NINE, with no midweek fixtures, has eased them to safety and a comfortable mid table berth despite Saturday’s 2-0 reverse at Walton & Hersham.
They weren’t so comfortable in the reverse encounter at Badgers Hill on Boxing Day as the Scarlet Runners scorched to a scintillating 5-0 thumping, a FOURTH win on the spin producing TWELVE goals with NONE in reply. Happier times.

2023-24 FA Cup W 2 – 1 D 2 – 2

With nothing to play for at Bolitho Park but pride, it would give all Frome fans a lift to break that recent run of painful narrow defeats and maintain the unbeaten record against one of Devon’s finest.
That Albie Hopkins free-kick ended the goal drought in spectacular style. Time now to get the points tally clicking over once more.

The realization of relegation this weekend has left a very bitter taste for all at the club. and a lot of supporters rather bewildered.
At no stage this season have we shown that we were good enough to stay in this elevated league. At times there was promise, to be sure, but this soon dissipated into another bad run.
After the Sholing defeat, where we were given a lesson on how to hit a team on the break by a very good footballing side – we then play 15 games with just two wins.
Practically in the bottom four the whole of the season. The writing was on the wall. The lowest scorers in the league. Our strikers and attacking…
