Surprises and not only because Bridon won

Wednesday 5 February 2020, Forest Hill Park 0 Bridon Ropes 3 - Southern Counties East, Division One, Ladywell Arena


Not sure what I was going to get here, athletics track, inner London and on first arrival it seemed to be what I expected, no parking little sign of a football club being here with young athletes training on the track but then came the first of a number of surprises. A programmer was free with admission, a cafe run by the club selling cheap drinks and hot dogs, teams on a board and everyone willing to chat - very friendly.

Football wise just one small stand, and not a great view - we also had some Bridon fans, not expecting much as they had not won for 8 games. We then got a further surprise as Bridon ran out 3-0 winners with the last goal a cracker. the last surprise was the spirit the game was played in, very few fouls and little chatting back to the ref.

Both club deserve praise for whta turned out an enjoyable night in South London
