Saturday 8 October 
Premier Division
Risborough Rangers 1 Colney Heath 1

A groundhopper from another Forum was present:

Spartan South Midlands Premier Division
Risborough Rangers 1-1 Colney Heath
Att : 84
Admission : £7 (although the man on the gate insisted on charging me £4 for concessions, I must look old!)
Programme Online
Cans of beer/lager £3, small bottle of wine £3.50
Colney Heath were much the better side in the first half and deservedly lead 1-0 at the break. After missing a good chance to double their lead early in the second half, Risborough equalised almost immediately and looked likely winners until an end-to-end final 15 minutes, where Rangers had most of the possesion, but Colney Heath had the better chances.
Colney Heath will probably think they deserved all three points, and although they slipped to 18th after this result, if they continue to play like this they should quickly be climbing the table.
As for Risborough, they still seem to be suffering a hangover after not being promoted last season on ground grading criteria. Their brand new stand housed 8 spectators at its peak !
Strangely, veteran striker Jefferson Louis played at centre-back today for Rangers.
For anyone interested, a full report can be found below.

Division One
Eaton Socon 2 London Tigers 1

A groundhopper from another Forum was in attendance, another poster later corrected him that London Tigers groundshare at Spratleys Meadow:

h/c 84
Coffee £1
As you approach the ground you park in the bowls club car park and it is a short walk to the entrance hit behind the goal. There iare areas of cover behind the goal and the tea bar is located just past the entrance to the changing rooms. The dug-outs are on the right hand side of the ground. The pitch is fully railed and the floodlights are now in use. The first half was end to end but with little goalmouth action. The home team finally broke the deadlock from the penalty spot and it was 1-0 at half time. The second half started like the first but the home substitute scored from virtually his first kick of the game, and a great finish it was as well. The Tigers then pulled a goal back from a goalkeeping mistake and were unlucky not have had a penalty when a home player seemed to handle in the box. The game saw a home player sent off in the last few minutes after he tried to waste time, but it was too late for the Tigers to take advantage. Now I just need the Tiger's ground in Southall to complete the division. Eaton seema very friendly Club.
