On Saturday 23^rd March, Non-League Day is celebrated across the country. Then, on Sunday 24^th March, the inaugural Sunday League Day will take place. Here’s how you can show your support.

Non-League shines a spotlight on the semi-professional and amateur levels of the beautiful game. It’s a celebration not just of football but of community, resilience, and the pure love of the sport.

In Derbyshire, the following non-league step clubs will be playing at home at 3PM on Saturday 23^rd March:

• Chesterfield FC vs Boreham Wood FC
• Matlock Town FC vs Whitby Town FC
• Gresley Rovers FC vs Sutton Coldfield Town FC
• Glossop North End AFC vs Barnoldswick Town FC
• Clay Cross Town FC vs Glasshoughton Welfare FC
• Dronfield Town FC vs Shirebrook Town FC
• Staveley Miners Welfare FC vs Louth Town FC

Sunday League Day is a new concept to promote Sunday League football across the UK, piggybacking on the success of Non-League Day in recent years. The objective is to raise the profile of Sunday League football and drive interest and participation.
