I remember the moment when Chris Berezai made the decision he needed a deputy. We were on a Hellenic Hop at Abingdon Town when his back seized up. He struggled through the rest of the event, and a few days later I got a phone call, and the rest as they say is history. From then on we’ve acted more as a joint effort rather than me simply order-taking. I wasn’t born to follow, but Llanberis proved to be rather different for a while. Continue reading →

When you’re organising a groundhop time is everything. You sit for hours with lists of clubs grouped by geography then use Google maps to calculate distance and from that, time.

Of the 4 days on this groundhop, Saturday proved to be by far the most difficult to organise. We prefer to have 4 games on the Saturday, as with 3 games you tend to see attendances drop alarmingly for the middle game, as hoppers go off-piste and find alternate games. With 4 they have to give up two hop games which tends to see more stay with the hop.

With a day on Anglesey, the obvious last game would have been Llangefni, with a set of floodlights a relic of their one season in the Welsh Premier, but that idea was scotched as we soon discovered they no longer work. They were replaced by Glantraeth, but were to be the away team at Llanfairpwll. Sadly Llangefni then opted to drop down to the Anglesey League, so we were grateful to Pwllheli who offered to replace them and be an away side twice on the hop.

With all 4 clubs lacking floodlights, it meant an early start from the University Continue reading →
