Colchester v Exeter (5:15pm)
Northampton v Cheltenham (7:45pm)
Both games live on Sky
I'll watch the Exeter game as they and Yeovil are the nearest teams to me and I have a soft spot for them both.
By the way, who is aware of the Exeter-Brazil connection? They were the first team to play a national Brazilan team and in 2004, in Exeter's centenary year and when they were having financial difficulties and needed to raise money, I attended Exeter's game against a 'Brazilian Masters' team that included Dunga.
The rest of the Brazilian squad was Branco, Silas, Paulo Roberto, Nelsinho, Valber, Mauricinho, Goncalves, Ricardo Rocha, Paulo Sergio, Alexandre Torres, Wellerson, Wagner, Careca, Jorginho, Mazinho and Dunga. And for some reason or other Uri Geller was involved, albeit off the pitch!

Love it. No fake crowd noise. Just the players, coaches and a handful of fans. Like watching an extremely well-orgainsed game of parks football.
Colchester 1 up with a great free kick.
Nice goal. While not exactly an exciting game, the general standard of play is surprisingly good.
Have to feel for Exeter when even their kit sponsors are in administration!
First injury in the Northampton v Cheltenham game is a pulled hammy for the linesman
Good save there, but let’s be honest - a penalty’s not a penalty without a crowd.....
I do hope we don't have cardboard cutouts in the stands on Sunday.
Decent half of football, that was. Very competitive, plenty of action. Didn’t know Ronnie Jepson had joined Northampton.
Let's all do the Hussey is playing.
HT: Exeter 1 - 0 Colchester (1-1 on agg at the moment)
Extra time and penalties if all square on aggregate after 90 mins. (Away goals rule not in use)
The second game is Cheltenham v Northampton (2-0) at 8pm.
If you prefer the EPL then Man City v Burnley is also an 8pm kick off.
And for those looking further afield there are a couple of La Liga games and Serie A games as well including Juventus
Good game that, helped by the fact that the team I wanted to win (Exeter) made it through.
Cheltenham being blown away
Cheltenham 0 - 3 Northampton 77 mins
No team has made a play off final after losing 1st leg by 2 goals (acc to the blurb before the game)
FfS
EPL currently Man City 5 - 0 Burnley
If you have the Live Score app on your phone / tablet the Juventus game is live streaming. First time I've noticed that before.
