Basildon Town v Stambridge United

Today I am at Basildon Town v Stambridge United at the Salex Sports Ground in the Essex Olympian League Division 3.
 
Basildon Town's ground is only a stones throw away from their Essex League rivals Basildon United.
 
Both grounds have an excellent view of the 'onion', a famous local landmark.
 
There is a comfortable clubhouse with Guinness placards on the entrance walls, but no stand or covered terracing. 
 
With a cold westerly wind blowing Stambridge played some very good football, creating many chances in the first half but by half time they had to be content with a solitary goal scored by James Roberts.
 
Half time 0-1
 
On 70 minutes  however, Basildon were back in the match with an equaliser and shortly afterwards  a winner.
 
Goals coming from Adam King and Daniel Lee Wilkins.
 
Full time 2-1
 
A word of praise must go to the referee who handled  the match very well particularly through a feisty patch towards the end.
 
Attendance 16
 
Programme complimentary and good
 
Drinks in Clubhouse
 
 
Another club I would heartily recommend for a visit.
