 However, unlike the first four Magic Weekends, the matches were played over a weekend at the end of May (after the end of the football season) rather than during the May Day bank holiday weekend at the start of May.Although the last weekend of May is usually the Late Spring Bank Holiday weekend, the Spring bank holiday in 2012 was moved back a weekend as part of the Diamond Jubilee.Following the premise of previous Magic Weekends, the majority of the fixtures were local rivalry games.
