AFC TOTTON 2 (Watts 64 Gosney 85)

WINCHESTER CITY 3 (Jenkinson 33 57 Wilson 89p)

Att 157

Entry £6

Programme £2

I think there’s a missing entry in the great groundhopping lexicon. There needs to be word or term for a ground you haven’t visited despite being it easy to get to, and you’ve visited plenty further away beforehand. For me, AFC Totton would be an extreme example, it’s easy enough to get to from Oxford, it’s been open since 2010 and to make things worse I actually managed to visit the adjacent Little Testwood Stadium, home to Totton & Eling four-and-half years ago!!

Wessex League Premier Division

TOTTON & ELING 2 (Feeney 34 Anderson 83)

CHRISTCHURCH 1 (Crutchley 90)

Att 59 (h/c)

Entry £6

Programme £1 (reissue from 29/11/11)

Tea 80p

Cheeseburger £1.50
