The weather has really turned this week, as the clocks went back and winter officially arrived. To be fair it was still relatively warm for the time of year if very blustery, and showery, which forced me to take refuge in the Sevenoaks Town main stands for much of the game. This Isthmian League South…

I was up in the Cotswolds, visiting my parents, so came to watch this Hellenic League Division 1 match. The fixture saw Clanfield 85, who sit currently 4th in the league, play Pershore Town, who occupy second place. Clanfield 85’s manager, Jamie Butt, saw his team lose narrowly, 0-1, last weekend to Southam United, which…

This midweek fixture was one I had watched last season, when with both sides struggling early season, at the foot of the Southern Counties East Football League, Premier Division, Holmesdale had left their hosts with a comprehensive 2-4 victory. The match had been entertaining and both sides recovered well from their early positions in the…

Salters Lane (Aquatherm Stadium) has been Faversham…

This chilly October mid week evening, brought me to Gay Dawn Farm, for the second time this season. Tonight’s game was a Kent Senior Cup tie, between Corinthian FC and Hythe Town. Both teams ply their trade in the Isthmian League (South East Division). Hythe Town, managed by Steve Watt, sit currently in 12th place,…

I joined the second of the South East England (SCEFL) groundhog’s six fixtures of the weekend, in another familiar ground, the home of Staplehurst Monarchs. The weather was glorious and I arrived at a packed Jubilee Sports Ground to be shepherded into some extensive free parking. The club provided a warm welcome and it was…
