I returned to the Bauvill Stadium for the second time in four days, but this time not to see the landlords, Chatham Town, but instead to watch the tenants, Welling Town, play a Southern Counties East Football League (SCEFL) Challenge Cup, Third Round fixture. Welling Town sat, at kick off, in eighteenth place in the…

My first visit to the Bauvill in 2023, brought me to a really mouthwatering fixture, between Chatham Town, who sit currently second in the Isthmian League South East Division, and the third place team, Beckenham Town, who have four points fewer. The game attracted a big crowd of 1072, all eager to see who would…

Today the weather was wet and lots of games locally were called off. I decided, at the last minute, to drive across country to Lewes FC at the Dripping Pan Ground in Sussex. The tie between Lewes FC and Corinthian Casuals FC, was an Isthmian League Premier Division fixture. The Dripping Pan ground is surrounded…

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…

After a day Christmas shopping at Bluewater I came the short distance to the Bauvill Stadium to watch Chatham Town play their Isthmian League (South East Division) rivals in the Velocity Trophy. The winners of the tie would earn the chance to play against Carshalton Athletic in the quarter finals. Chatham Town’s first season at…

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…
