As I have a visit to St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton, planned for tomorrow to watch Birmingham City, I decided to get my fix of Kent non-league football for this weekend, under the lights tonight, in the Kent County Premier League. Kent United play at home at the Efes Stadium, Dartford. They are currently sitting in…

After much antagonising as to whether to make the journey as the rain continued to fall, even after the pitch inspection at 10.30 am had judged it fit to go ahead, I decided to be bold and drove down to Horsham to see this Isthmian League South East fixture between Broadbridge Heath and Ramsgate.

After a long week at work I came in a relatively short trip down through Lewes to Eastbourne to watch an FA Vase tie, between Eastbourne United AFC of the Southern Combination Premier Division and VCD Athletic of the Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division.
