Cogenhoe United 0 Loughborough University 1 - Compton Park, UCL Premier Division
Irchester United 3 Wellingborough Whitworths 3 - Alfred Street, UCL Division One
Whittlesey Athletic 1 Huntungdon Town 2 - Feldale Field, UCL Division One
My first UK groundhop - and I enjoyed it - OK, the rain made it not the best day to watch football but that was just a glitch.
3 good games - all very different, the first saw a good half of football with both teams attempting to pass the ball and once at full strength, Loughborough will cause a number of teams a problem.
Game 2, was a typical local derby, some good football, some poor football, strong tackles and a cracking equaliser in a high scoring game.
The last game did not see much good football other than again a cracking final goal but this was about a young club finding their feet in a higher division, a club where it was the volunteers and helpers who were rightfully in the limelight not the players.
Then we had the 'groundhoppers' many I knew,. some from Romania and Serbia but others I have seen at games all over the country but they are/ we are a strange lot - those who must have a programme or/and a badge, the rush to get the teams written down and then the bit I do not understand the large number who do not even seem to watch the game, but will I go gain - simple answer, yes!
