My first visit to the Ladywell Arena, for a non league football match (although I have attended sports and athletics events on the arena previously) took place on a chilly but dry March evening.

I had planned to travel elsewhere but the lure of this mouth watering league fixture between Chatham Town, who were top of the Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division and Glebe FC who are third, was just too much to resist. Both sides came into the tie on the back of a run of…

Corinthian Casuals v Carshalton Athletic – Thursday 3rd March 2022 – King George’s Field Tolworth

This clash, of the Isthmian Premier league sides, came in the Surrey Senior Cup round 2, unusually was played on a Thursday evening.

Chatham Town v Tower Hamlets FC – Tuesday 22nd February 2022 – The Bauvill Stadium

Tonight’s game was played, on a blustery and chilly late winter evening, at what has fast become one of my favourite grounds to visit, the Bauvill Stadium, home of Chatham Town. The Bauvill is a modern ground and with its impressive standing and covered seating provision, high quality food and bar facilities and a pristine…

Folkestone Invicta FC v Cray Wanderers – Tuesday 15th February 2022 – The BuildKent Stadium

I came with two good friends to this Isthmian Premier League fixture, for my second visit to the BuildKent Stadium in Folkestone. The game had been in doubt until a final pitch inspection, by the referee, twenty minutes prior to kick off. Indeed the game between Dover and Notts County had been called off just…
