As far as staging the match was concerned, the club did a fantastic job and the day went well.The galleried viewing area in the clubhouse was taken over by the assembled press corp, which I counted at one point as reaching 23. press association, the sun, the express, the telegraph, the times, southend evening echo, romford recorder, non-league, bbc wales radio, swansea sound and, of course, bbc essex, were those that I know of. not forgetting on the far side gantry the television contingent, sky sports, bbc wales and bbc match of the day. all bbc wales broadcasts, whether tv or radio are done in english and the welsh national language, so they need two commentators, summarisers etc.

 

on the field I felt it was a great effort by the team, and they were a credit to their manager, their club and the ryman premier league. the work rate in the first half hour when the swans were trying to use their superior skill and pace to impose themselves on the game, was phenomenal. to then take the lead and still be prepared to come forward was testament to their belief in themselves. even after swansea equalised and took the lead, billericay took the game to them, and the welsh press corp fully agreed that it could have gone either way.

 

rivalry and banter are all part and parcel of football, and the game would be dull without it, but credit where it's due and billericay town should be applauded for their efforts.
