Combined Counties League Premier Challenge 1st Round

CAMBERLEY TOWN 4 (Taylor 37 45 47p Jones 68)

Att 427 (Ground Record)

Entry £5

Programme £2

With no disrespect to the folks at the Thames Valley Premier League I don’t expect to see them supply too many clubs to either of the Step 6 Leagues in their area, the Hellenic or the Combined Counties. That’s got nothing to do with anything to do with the league, more its geography. This is well and truly in the M4 corridor territory with sky-high land and property prices, so for Yateley to both grow their club and develop their ground here is a stunning achievement.

It does pay to have a back-up plan. I’d woken up expecting to watch Glyncorrwg AFC, but they were kind enough to let me know their game had been lost to overnight rain, so I changed plans and headed to Wiltshire League club Ludgershall Sports. But the A34 was blocked at Abingdon; I waited an hour before being slowly shepherded off the main carriageway on to a diversion where a working knowledge of the North Berkshire League was handy.

Pre-Season Friendly

METROPOLITAN POLICE 2 (Body 4 Akinbibi 33)

YATELEY UNITED 0

Att c75

Free Entry

With my pre-season running a rough theme, of old, or third party grounds, this one definitely was one of the latter, but it was one that I’d been after for a while. Many will have been to Leatherhead FC’s Fetcham Grove, and if you haven’t visited there, it’s one to put on your bucket list. But Leatherhead Youth play on the outskirts of town, and yes, the two clubs are linked.

It was unusual to be in the middle of an organised hop and for me to wake up at home. But with the Hellenic Hop visiting 3 clubs all within 20 miles from home and with an elderly father to keep an eye on, it made sense to have a couple of nights back home, even if Robyn and I did miss the full English breakfasts back at the Almondsbury Interchange! I found myself harking back to the days of the North Berkshire League’s Hops too, and on arrival at Stokenchurch you could see why. Continue reading →
