This game was played on a bright, unusually sunny afternoon. Both teams came into the tie with confidence high, Chatham Town occupying second place in the league with 24 points from 11 games and Ashford United a place behind them, in third, with the same number of points, but a lower goal difference.

I thought this week I’d break the mould and not go to another Friday non league fixture, instead coming to the Rush Green Stadium, formerly the home of Ford United (now Redbridge) and Romford, to watch a Premier League 2 match. This league replaced the Under 21 Premier league in 2016/17, with a focus on…

A mild but dry, Wednesday, November evening after a week of heavy rain, brought me back to Potyns Field for a Southern Counties East League Challenge Cup (Second Round) tie. This season has been a really positive one for both tonight’s teams, with Snodland Town sitting second in the SCEFL Division 1 table, with 25…

For my second game of the day, I came to the London Hire Stadium, to see a Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division fixture. The game pitched Sutton Athletic, currently in tenth position in the league, against Deal Town sitting in fifth position. Sutton Athletic’s goals have been flowing this season, with Arlie Desanges…

The first of two Saturday fixtures this week, came in the Bill Manklow Inter Regional Cup at Crockenhill FC. Crockenhill FC play at Wested Meadow, a ground which was used to house a barrage balloon in World War II, then was bought by Crockenhill FC. Since then the club have added a stand, clubhouse and…

The weather has really turned this week, as the clocks went back and winter officially arrived. To be fair it was still relatively warm for the time of year if very blustery, and showery, which forced me to take refuge in the Sevenoaks Town main stands for much of the game. This Isthmian League South…

I was up in the Cotswolds, visiting my parents, so came to watch this Hellenic League Division 1 match. The fixture saw Clanfield 85, who sit currently 4th in the league, play Pershore Town, who occupy second place. Clanfield 85’s manager, Jamie Butt, saw his team lose narrowly, 0-1, last weekend to Southam United, which…

This midweek fixture was one I had watched last season, when with both sides struggling early season, at the foot of the Southern Counties East Football League, Premier Division, Holmesdale had left their hosts with a comprehensive 2-4 victory. The match had been entertaining and both sides recovered well from their early positions in the…

I had heard a lot from fellow non league enthusiasts about the experience and enjoyment of watching football at the Menace Arena, on the south circular in East Dulwich in South London, so decided to drop in to watch a Kent County League Premier Division, fixture. The Kent County League feeds into the Step 6…

A late change of plans, which saw my wife pick up a late booking, spurred me on to find a Friday night fixture. As regular readers will know, I’m not a huge fan of watching matches in Athletic Stadia, however as this was within a reachable driving distance for me, I decided to come to…
