I had a brief look round historic Stanford before the match but with all the people shopping in the narrow streets I headed off to sanity and Lincoln Road Sports Ground.
The ground is a 20 minute walk from the town centre. A large sign advertises 'where you are' so it was easy to find.
Walking down a path leads you to the pay hut, car park and bowling green.
There is also a clubhouse and a snack bar in the ground.
Down the left hand touchline is a small oldish stand next to a small covered enclosure. The rest of the ground is railed off with hard standing.
On the last day of the old year I was rewarded with a very enjoyable and competitive match.
Joe Power gave 'Spencer' the lead on 15 minutes
Half time 0-1
Sharp scored a great breakaway goal midway through the second half to put
'Spencer' 2-0 in the lead.
'Blackstones' piled on the pressure and missed a penalty but Luke Avis reduced the arrears on 85 minutes.
Final Score 1- 2
Attendance 75
Programme - OK
Plentiful supplies of food and drink......Happy New Year!!!
