On this week's episode, we're diving headfirst into the latest buzz surrounding the NWCFL, shining a spotlight on the league's most exciting movers and shakers. Get ready for an in-depth look at standout clubs in the National League North and the Northern Premier League, along with an exclusive early peek at the upcoming Second Round draw for the FA Trophy.

But it's not all just highlights and draws—we're tackling a serious issue: violence at football matches. Hear the harrowing story of Richard Agbasoga, who was viciously kicked and punched in the head during a game for Ormskirk West End after a pitch-side altercation, leaving him with a fractured skull. Tensions flared as a dozen or so men stormed onto the pitch just as chaos erupted during the game.

We question whether these violent incidents are on the rise and discuss the troubling increase in verbal abuse among players, managers, and supporters. Is it time to hit the brakes before violence spirals out of control?

In the show's second half, we welcome a very special guest—Dave Dempsey, manager of Burscough. He shares the wild story of what might be the shortest, and most controversial, management tenure in Northern Premier League history—just three days at Prescot Cables. He also opens up about what led to his sacking at Clitheroe, despite the team being third in the league. Additionally, Dave discusses his journey from player to manager and his mission to turn Burscough's fortunes around.

And finally, we look at Skelmersdale United's recent setbacks and the tough road ahead in a league that's proving more challenging than ever.

All this and much more—stay tuned for an episode packed with action, drama, and insight you won't want to miss!
