This fixture, played on a cold Saturday at the end of a freezing month, which had seen so much disruption to the non league fixture schedule, took me close to home to see a Southern Counties East Football League, Division 1, match. The home side and tenants at the Cobdown, traditionally the home of K…

I returned to the Bauvill Stadium for the second time in four days, but this time not to see the landlords, Chatham Town, but instead to watch the tenants, Welling Town, play a Southern Counties East Football League (SCEFL) Challenge Cup, Third Round fixture. Welling Town sat, at kick off, in eighteenth place in the…

My first visit to the Bauvill in 2023, brought me to a really mouthwatering fixture, between Chatham Town, who sit currently second in the Isthmian League South East Division, and the third place team, Beckenham Town, who have four points fewer. The game attracted a big crowd of 1072, all eager to see who would…

Today the weather was wet and lots of games locally were called off. I decided, at the last minute, to drive across country to Lewes FC at the Dripping Pan Ground in Sussex.

I came up to visit my parents and my Dad and I and a friend, came to the Trico Stadium to watch a Worcestershire Cup Quarter Final tie between Redditch United and Alvechurch FC. Both sides play in the Southern League, Premier Division, with Redditch United sitting currently in eighth and Alvechurch FC being placed…

It was difficult choosing the venue for today’s fixture. In the end I couldn’t ignore the fact that having seen the two sides play at the same venue only six days ago, in the Velocity Trophy, when they fought so competitively and hard as Chatham won through, 2-0, I was intrigued to see how today’s…

This was my second visit of the season, to the Belmont Ground, to watch a hastily arranged friendly between two sides, both with relatively new managers, who want the chance to run out their teams before the Christmas and New Year fixtures.
