North Norfolk Derby

Saturday 28 December 2019, Sheringham 1 Fakenham Town 0 - Eastern Counties League, Division One, North, Weybourne Road



There were three of us at the game, all from Suffolk and this was deepest, darkest Norfolk but we had to admit, we were made welcome, the locals were friendly and we only saw one kid in a Norwich shirt.





Then there was the football, a local derby, hard tackles, a few fouls but players respected each other, no quarter given, none asked for.


Skill wise, the teams attempted to play good football but al most impossible on a heavy pitch, but one bit of class by the home team centre forward gave us the only goal of the game.




The ground needs some kre work on it, some seats and get at least one  more side of the ground open however a cracking clubhouse shared with the cricket club and on top of that a club that wants to see it's own North Norfolk born players make it to the 1st team. All in all a good day out, even if it was in Norfolk!
