This was my first visit to Rookery Hill, in Corringham, Thurrock, the home of East Thurrock United of the Isthmian League North Division. This was the first ever Friday fixture at the Rookery Hill ground and East Thurrock played host to Hashtag United, who were only founded as a senior club back in 2018. East…

My first game of 2023, after being ill for a few days, with a heavy cold, saw me head on a Friday night, after working in Tottenham, to Myrak Park, home of Buckhurst Hill FC. Myrak Park boasts a grass pitch and six high quality floodlights. The ground has a small clubhouse and bar as…

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. Whitstable Town have had a difficult first season back in the Southern Counties…

I had a good response to my first mid season review yesterday so today thought I’d add the midfield and forward players I’d be including in my mid season choice to date. Again if you have any comments or suggestions about anything included then either add to my Twitter page or comment on here. So…

It’s almost halfway through the season and due to the ice and snow I have a clear Saturday. I thought it might be of interest to some of my readers, to reflect with me on who they’d have in their non league team of the season, at this stage. My choices are based upon purely…

For the second game of the day, I headed back to an old favourite at the Bauvill Stadium, to watch Chatham Town of the Isthmian League South East Division, play against Lancing FC. Chatham Town came into the fixture in third place in the league, with thirty points from 15 games. Manager and owner, Kevin…

This 12.30 kick off, drew me to watch a National League South fixture between Dartford FC, managed by Alan Dowson, and Bath City, who are led this season by Jerry Gill. I was pleased that despite the sub-zero overnight temperatures, the match was okay to go ahead, as Dartford’s grounds team had applied a cover…
