Today I am at Sandon Royals V Benfleet at Sandon Sports Club in the Olympian League Division 1.
This ground is adjacent to the village hall and behind the church in this small Essex village.
Easy to find, ample parking and there is a small clubhouse adjoining the
changing rooms. The pitch is roped off and has a very rural setting
even though it is just a stone's throw from Chelmsford the county town of
Essex.
Benfleet only has 9 players and it would seem as though this would be a
mismatch particularly as Sandon were 4 - 0 up in thirty minutes.
However, Benfleet settled and managed to stem the flow of goals.
Half time 4 - 0
In the second half, 9 man Benfleet put up a very spirited performance and stopped Sandon from increasing their lead.
Goal scorers Ricks 2, 1 each from Filmer and Harvey.
Final score 4 - 0
Attendance 14
No Programme issued but an old one was found for me.
Complimentary tea before the match and at half time.
