As October starts to turn cold and wintery it is usually time for an annual meet up with an old friend Mark, in Rochester. Last year we went to watch Larkfield & New Hythe, the year before Chatham Town. This year it was even closer for us, with a visit to Rochester United’s ground to…

Another spell of wet weather made me think that I’d be best heading to watch football on a 3G surface tonight. Thankfully not too far away at AFC Stoneham, just north of Southampton, there was a Velocity Wessex League Cup Second round fixture between two teams from the Wessex League Premier Division. Stoneham Lane Complex…

The rain finally broke to reveal some Autumn sunshine, after a week of flooding and torrential rain, which had made driving and playing football really difficult! I decided to come down the Kent County Leagues to see an intriguing tie in Division Two East, between Len Valley FC and Skippers FC. Len Valley FC play…

I made a dash after a later finish at work, to Ringwood, on the fringes of Bournemouth, to see a Southampton Senior Cup fixture between Ringwood Town of the Wessex League Division 1 and QK Southampton FC of the Hampshire Premier League. The Ringwood community hub boasts a new clubhouse, as well as a 3G…

I drove out after working in Weymouth, to Sturminster to watch a Jewson Western League Division 1 match, between Sturminster Newton United and Warminster Town. Barnetts Field, the home of Sturminster Newton United, benefits from a small clubhouse and changing facilities, adjacent to a neat grass pitch and one covered standing area. The ground boasts…

As the weather had warmed slightly throughout the week and the rain finally withdrew, I came back to a more local location, in which to watch one of my favourite leagues, with two sides expecting to battle the season out at the top end of the Southern Counties East Football League (SCEFL) Premier Division. Potyn’s…

It had been a cold week and I’d watched a game the night before where I actually ended up huddled inside my coat and didn’t feel any desire to blog!! Tonight I decided to brave the unseasonably chilly conditions and head to Hamworthy to watch a Dorset Premier League cup fixture, between Hamworthy Recreation Reserves…

Visiting close friends and Flirty their dog, on the Isle of Wight, gave me the chance to watch a Wessex League (Premier Division) fixture between Cowes Sports FC and Andover New Street FC. The fixture was delayed to a 3.30 pm kick off because of delays to the ferry bringing the visitors to the Island….

The weather had begun to cool into an Autumnal early September evening and I made my first trip after a day at work, to visit the Tatnam Stadium in Poole. Poole Town moved to the Tatnam Stadium in 2000, with the main stand being built for £80,000 to allow them to meet the league requirements…

Having been to all but two of the Kent County League Premier Division grounds, I decided to start my final push to complete the league by visiting Hawkinge Town’s ground today to see their fixture against Bexley FC. The Hawkinge Pavilion Sports Ground provides covered standing under the main sports club and bar’s canopy. The…
