Galleywood v Harold Hill

Galleywood v Harold Hill  at Clarkes Field in the Essex Olympian Premier Division.

 

I had a bit of difficulty finding this ground but it was well worth the effort.

 

There is car parking facilities along the lane and by the club house. The pitch is fully railed off, with a few advertising hoarding's.

 

Galleywood have been having a bit of a renaissance of late but it seemed today was not going to be their say. 

 

Harold Hill dominated the first half but at half time they only had one goal to show for their efforts scored by Jay Nash on 41 minutes.

 

Half time 0-1

 

The second half was a different story as the 'Wood upped their game it was end to end stuff and thoroughly enjoyable.

Dowsett equalised near the end of the match Mackory winning it in injury time for the wood.

 

Galleywood 2 - Harold Hill 1

 

Renaissance continues....

 

Attendance - Forgot to take a head count but it was the largest attendance in the Olympian League this season.

 

Programme good

 

and food available in Club House.

Hutton Versus Galleywood

This was quite an easy ground to find as the changing rooms are on the premises of the senior school on the main road through Shenfield and is called the Shenfield Match Day Centre. 

Like other Olympian grounds I have visited this season  it can accommodate cricket and additional football pitches.The actual pitch is across the lane from the school itself. 

Hutton are newcomers to the premier league having just been promoted Galleywood who finished second bottom last season were spared relegation. Ongar Town being relegated over some ground grading nonsense.

Hutton took the lead in the first minute and scored a second with the last kick of the first half. Half time 2-0

In the second half Hutton took total control  the 'Wood' making things harder for themselves when they were reduced to 10 players for a handling offence on the goal line. The resulting penalty duly converted.
