I came back, for the third Chatham Town game in seven days, to see them play at home to Cray Valley Paper Mills. The significance of this game couldn’t be downplayed, as Chatham required just one win to ensure the title of the Isthmian League South East Division in their first season back at this…

Lancing FC v Chatham Town – Saturday 8th April 2023 – Culver Road

A bright Spring day drew me down to Lancing FC on the South Coast, to see Lancing and Chatham Town of the Isthmian South East Division play a game of much significance, for both teams. Lancing FC moved to Culver Road in 1952 and a 350 seater stand was erected soon afterwards. The ground benefits…

With the weather warmer and some holiday time on my horizon, I decided to come up for an evening midweek kick off, to Staplehurst, home of the Monarchs, for their Southern Counties East Football League fixture. This game had been reorganised twice before due to the pitch being unplayable, but tonight the weather was much…

So on the day the clocks went forward and we finally felt as if Spring was here, I chose to return to the Southern Combination Premier Division, to the home of Little Common FC, on the edge of Bexhill on Sea. The weather chose to be cold, windy and wet, to remind everyone that winter…
