Basildon Town-Grounhoppers Report

[Basil-Don]

Basildon Town 0 Springfield 2

Essex Olympian League Division 3

Admission and programme Free

 

Before the game, these sides were 4th and 2nd in the league, and two goals in the 1st half ensured that the away side stay inthe promotion race along with Castle, and I can't see anyone challenging these two. Basildon played well, and could have scored a couple themselves, but having lost 5-0 at home to the top club just before the enforced Winter break, the top 2 look different class.

 

A roped off pitch, with no spectator cover, and with the car park, club house and changing room located in one corner. Dedicated club officials ensure that a programme is issued for most games, including reserve games, according to the League website,very commendable for a club at this level. The 16 page programmes were freely available, being left on all the tables within the club house for punters to read. In truth, it only took about 5 minutes to read, cover to cover, however contained all the essentials such as team line ups, table, fixtures and manager's report.
