Greetings everyone and welcome to this week's TLFG.
I've been really pushed for time over the last few days so it's just match maps from me again.
The Non-League Day post-event work is continuing to take up my time and it's all looking good.
On Saturday I took part in this year's QPR Tiger Feet Walk. This event raises funds for the club's sports club for kids with Down's syndrome.
I co-founded it back in 2010 with sports journalist Chris Charles and it's brought in a sum that's now well into six figures.
The route took us from the club's training ground near Heathrow to Loftus Road in time for the 1230pm kick-off against Bristol City.
Originally set for 3pm, Sky's rescheduling meant we had to be at the stadium for 620am to catch the minibus to the training ground.
It all went well and apart from a bit of wind and drizzle when we got to Osterley Park, the conditions were generally okay.
We got to go on the pitch when we arrived and then got a ticket for the game which must have been one of the most uneventful in football history - both sides were lucky to get nil!
The amount raised is approaching £20,000 so if you can help it reach that milestone by donating a little something, I'd really appreciate it.
On Sunday, I had hoped to head north to St Neots to watch Actonians' final away game of the season at Cambridge United.
Sadly a few things cropped up and I had to watch the reserves play Camden Town instead. It was gutting as the first team won 1-0 with a dramatic injury-time goal to go fifth.
The A's have won their last four and are hoping to pip arch-rivals QPR to that fifth spot - there's only one point in it with one game to go.
With the weather set fair for the next few days, hopefully you'll get to a game or two. Enjoy!
THE WEEK AHEAD
The Champions League tops the bill but there are also games in the Premier League and EFL.
We've also got games in the National League, there are one or two minor cup finals and all our other local non-league competitions have games as well.
In the women's game, England take on Spain in a blockbuster World Cup qualifier at Wembley which is almost sold out. As a result of that, most teams in the top four tiers have the week off.
As always, please make sure you check with clubs before you travel just in case a game has been called off or the venue or kick-off time has changed - this is highly possible for some of the lower non-league clubs and development matches. Also, please let me know if anything is wrong or missing.
