Harpenden Town 0 Ilford 2

A groundhopper from another Forum was in attendance at Rothamsted Park, also see some highlights of the action if the link works:

https://x.com/i/status/1812214451451601183

PSF - Rothamsted Park - new tick
Harpenden Town 0 (0) Ilford 2 (1)
F&N Coffee and a Twirl: £2 Attendance: 50-ish
My original intention was to watch Crawley Green at The Brache for a 1315hrs KO, but I checked in early on Futbology, only for Hemelhopper to DM me noting that the match was moved to Crawley Green Sports Club 3 miles away with the same KO. No biggie as I hadn't actually got there, so a quick diversion to find that cricket was on at the sports club and that the football had been moved to the 3g cage (with no spectator access). Not fancying wasting my Saturday away standing outside a cage, I hopped in the car and drove the 9 miles to Harpenden for a 1500hrs KO. Smart 3g venue behind the sports centre with its own parking and a nice enclosed feel to it. Good to see substantial terracing down one side. raising the view by a good 5ft.
A Step 5 clash between Spartan and Essex Senior teams, this was quite a good watch. Ilford were the better side for most of the game, but a lethargic home side made more of a fist of it 2nd half. They had gone 1 down after 12' to a beautiful cut-back and side-foot into the roof of the net. Ilford were slick and worthy of the lead.
2nd half, the home side missed a few chances with poor shooting but played much better, finding space and chasing down the ball. Sadly they then received a sucker punch on 77' with a fine individual goal after a channel run down the left.
Home in 135' via St Albans/M25/M4/Marlborough; it could have been a bit quicker but the A1081 was shut due to a car crash just N of St Albans.
