After a chilly Autumnal week, the weather had warmed in time for today’s FA Vase fixture between Horsham YM (Young Men’s – having recently (2025) lost the CA, which stood for Christian Association) and Snodland Town.

Saturday football is always a welcome treat, after a long week at work. Today I was able to make the relatively short journey to Chennells Brook, home of Roffey FC, to watch them play a Southern Combination Football League (Premier Division) fixture against Eastbourne United. Roffey FC were established in 1901 and in the 2024-25…

Heavy rain fell all morning as the muggy heat of yesterday broke with the heavens overnight. I decided to stay closer to home today and attend a local fixture at Rochester United of the Southern Counties East Football League (SCEFL) Division 1, whose campaign last year saw them fall outside of the play off places…
