Penn & Tylers Green Vs Hillingdon Borough 
📍 French School Meadows 
Tickets: £1

I finally got round to completing the Combined Counties League Division One! 

For some reason I thought it was a good idea to walk and hour and a half from High Wycombe Station to get to the ground. I do not recommend, just take the bus it's a lot easier. 

The opening twenty minutes of the match was mainly dominated by the home side. They kept the ball well and created a lot more. 

Finally the deadlock was broken on the half hour mark. A corner ball was swung in for Penn and nodded in by the No.9. 

A few minutes before the break, Hillingdon managed to equalise out of no where. A break away saw the No.10 pick up the ball in the middle of the park. He then drove forward and managed to skip past a few challenges. He then fired a shot across the goal and into the bottom right hand corner of the net. 

Four minutes into the second half, Penn retook the lead from another corner. This time quickly taken and passed off to the No.3. From a ridiculous angle, he smashed the ball as hard as possible and saw his effort fly into the roof of the net. 

A few minutes later, the home side added a third. The No.7 picked up the ball on the half way line and headed towards goal. He dribbled into the box, cut inside and hit the ball with his left foot into the bottom left corner of the net. 

Another two minutes went by and Penn had a fourth. The ball was looped high up into the box and met by the towering header of the No.12. 

Ten minutes later, a fifth for the home side. A perfect cross field pass was played through to the No.7, he kept his composure and saw his effort deflect slightly into the roof of the net. 


With the game approaching full time, Hillingdon managed to get a couple of goals back to make it interesting. 

The first from a free kick on the edge of the box which was swung in and met by the head of the No.11. 

The second from a quick break away down the right side which ended up with the ball played into the box. The Penn defender cleared the ball but straight into the on rushing No.15. The ball cannoned off his knee and into the back of the net. 

The final score finished 5-3

01/01/26 - Ground 463 - 📍 Steel Park - Corby Town Vs AFC Rushden & Diamonds

Corby Town Vs AFC Rushden & Diamonds  📍 Steel Park  Tickets: £12 The first game of the new year and my first time for quite a while venturing out of London to watch a game of football.  It was the away side who took the lead with only five minutes played. A free kick was swung into the box from the edge of the area and met by the head of the No.4 and captain, who saw his effort loop over the keeper and into the net.  The rest of the action in the first half was rather scrappy in fairness, which resulted in not a lot of chances for either side being created.  Three minutes after the break, it was the captain again who doubled Rushdens lead. A swift counter attack resulted in the ball being played up to the No.10. He then held the ball up and played it through to the No.4 who found himself one on one with the goalkeeper. He kept his composure and slotted the ball underneath the goalkeeper and sent the away end into madness.  Once again though the game tu...

17/01/26 - Ground 464 - 📍 High Road - Tooting Bec Vs Clapton CFC

Tooting Bec Vs Clapton CFC  📍 High Road  Tickets: £6 A difficult ground to get to in all honesty but it worked out well in the end. I didn't expect to be offered a lift on route but took the opportunity, big thanks to the Tooting fan who saved me a fair walk!  The game itself was quite an end to end affair, with both sides creating a few half chances each. The opening goal of the game came just before the half time break. A corner was swung into the box from Tooting and then nodded back across the goal. The loose ball was then stabbed in by the No.7 to give the home side the lead.  The pattern of the game continued in the second half, with it becoming a lot more scrappier and stop start. With the game approaching the final whistle, Tooting added a second goal to seal the win. Another corner was swung into the box but this time cleared. It was then worked back out and crossed in towards the No.6. He managed to meet the ball with his head and saw it roll into the back...

13/12/25 - Ground 462 - 📍 Royal Holloway College Sports Centre - AFC Royal Holloway Vs Richmond & Kew FC

AFC Royal Holloway Vs Richmond & Kew FC 📍 Royal Holloway College Sports Centre  Tickets: Free Entry  Another eventful game in the Surrey Premier League which saw the away side dominate the match.  The first goal of the game went in just after thirty five minutes had been played. A corner ball found itself eventually working it's way out to Richmonds No.31 on the edge of the box. He then set himself and let off a brilliant strike into the top right hand corner of the net.  A couple of minutes before the break, the away side managed to double their lead. A lovely through ball from the No.7 split the defence and allowed the No.7 to run through clear on goal. He kept his composure and slotted the ball into the corner of the net.  In the second half, with half an hour left to play, Richmond added a third in style to kill off any hopes of a comeback from Holloway. After a one two between the No.11 and No.7, the ball was then played across the goal for the No.15 t...
