Tickets: Free Entry 🎟️ 

Surrey Premier County Premier League completed ✅

An incredible game of football with the hosts going 3-0 up in the first ten minutes. 

The first goal came from the No.10 on the edge of the area after being laid off by the No.9. The second I completely missed as I was shielding myself from the strong wind at the wrong time. The third came through the No.9 again as he burst down the right side, headed into the box and laid off the No.3 for a simple tap in. 

Five minutes later, Laleham managed to get a goal back. Again I didn't see the goal properly as the wind and rain was coming down heavy so I prioritised trying to avoid it. 

A minute later though, Cranleigh regained their four goal cushion straight from the restart. The No.11 picked the ball up in the middle of the park and drove forward, avoiding a few changes and then striking the ball into the corner of the net from the edge of the box. 

Just before the half time break, Laleham launched a ball forward into the penalty area. The Cranleigh goalkeeper looked to have the ball under control but punched it behind him. The No.9 was then gifted the opportunity to smash the ball into an empty net. 

The second half was much quieter from both sides and even had to be stopped for a hail storm to clear. 

With five minutes left, Cranleigh got another goal thanks to the No.11 again. The winger was played through the defence, rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into an empty net. 

Right at the death, it was nearly a cardboard cutout of the previous goal. This time though it was a poor back pass from a Laleham defender which gave the Cranleigh No.7 the opportunity to be one on one with the goalkeeper. He kept his composure and slotted the ball into the corner of the net. 

The full time whistle then went with the final score finishing 6-2 to Cranleigh FC. A very entertaining afternoon involving some extreme weather.

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...
