Rochester United v Bearsted FC – Saturday 19th July 2025 – Rochester United Sports Ground
Heavy rain fell all morning as the muggy heat of yesterday broke with the heavens overnight.

The Royal Engineers AFC are a team representing the Corps of Royal Engineers, the “sappers” of the British army. Their…
