Proper Football

Wonderful scenes in Venice.

The Venetian side Venezia who won the Italian 🇮🇹 Serie B title last Friday celebrated in style today on the Grand Canal with supporters surrounding them in boats and looking on from the famous Rialto Bridge.

The Winged Lions clinched the title on Friday with a 2-0 home win over Palermo and will be back in Serie A after suffering relegation last season.

Massive congratulations to Hornchurch FC who have been promoted to the National League for the first time in their history!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The Urchins, who were only founded in 2005 after the previous club folded started life at Step 6 of non-league in the Essex Senior League and now 21 years later they have been promoted to Step 1 of the non-league pyramid!

Hornchurch beat Torquay United 3-2 after extra time in the National League South Play-off Final but in normal time it looked like The Gulls were going to go up, they were leading 2-1 going into injury time but a 92nd-minute equaliser from the home side saw the match finish 2-2!

The winner came in the 117th minute of extra time!

What a fantastic achievement from the Essex-based club!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Congratulations to Kidderminster Harriers FC who have won the National League North Play-off Final and promotion to the National League!

Kiddy beat South Shields 2-0 away with 2 quick-fire goals in the 35th and 37th minutes of the first half.

The Harriers will now be playing in the 5th tier next season after 2 years in the National League North.

Well done Kiddy!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Also a shout out to South Shields FC as well, a wonderful club who we had the pleasure of visiting this season, gutted for them that they didn't go up as they have been there or thereabouts at the top all season, they are a fantastically run club who will without doubt be in with a shout next season.
