3 Yellow cards and off!

Saturday 8 February 2020, Sutton Athletic 3 Lydd Town 0 - Southern Counties East, Division One , London Hire Stadium



Home side dominated the first half and went in at the break two up, second half was bit  scrappier and Lydd improved when they bought on a fast winger, he was then taken down by the keeper but the Ref gave nothing. this caused the Lydd number 10 - the most experienced player on the pitch but one who normally plays centre half but today playing as a converted forward to go crazy - Yellow card - sin bin, refused to go, second yellow, went mad again - Red card!



Down to 10 men Lydd actually played better with the  fast winger now playing down the middle but in the last 5 minutes Sutton got back on top and added a third goal in the 89th minute.



The ground is in a very rural setting, but under 10 minutes from the M25 and the Dartford tunnel. An old pavilion housed the changing rooms and the club house - bar, TV plus hatch selling food and hot drinks.


Small home made seated stand on far side and some rudimentary cover on the dugout side. Friendly local and a nice setting to watch football in the winter sun.
