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…

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…

An early Saturday kick off, at 12.30 pm, brought me for my first ever visit, to Leylands Park, home of Burgess Hill Town of the Isthmian League South East Division. Leylands Park holds 2500 people at capacity, with seating for 408. The highest attendance so far this season was the 579 who came for the…

Friday night football is always fun, with the joy of winter evening games being played under floodlights alongside the feeling that you have made it through to the weekend, that comes with any Friday night fixture. Tonight was no different as I made my way to Martyn Grove, home of Lordswood FC, to watch the…

I decided that I’d make my midweek game this week, a Monday night affair, so came close to home, to the Cobdown Stadium to watch the Southern Counties East Football League Development League fixture, between Welling Town and AFC Whyteleafe. Welling Town’s Under 23 season has been slow to start, with just one victory and…

I took advantage of an early kick off today to go to see a Craske & Wells Memorial Trophy tie between Westerham FC and Tunbridge Wells Foresters FC. The weather was grey and cold as I approached King George’s Playing Field, home of Westerham. The ground has a sloping grass pitch and a nice clubhouse…
