Scrappy on the slope

Saturday 15 January 2022, Tring Athletic 0 Harefield United 1 - Spartan South Midlands League, Premier Division, Cow Lane

Easy to get too as not far off M25, Large modern clubhouse, raised stand on one side - wooden and worth a look plus two other bits of cover both with seating in them, pitch has a distinct slope. Rugby club next door and also a bowls  and squash club in rural setting. A rugby game was going on on a far pitch, one what looked an even steeper slope.

Nice touch was the wooden walkway round the tree at the Rugby club end.

Scrappy game, with too many stupid stoppages, Harefield scored in the first half and both keepers made a few good saves, second half got even scrappier - and in the end the visitors probably just deserved the win.

 

No Twin Towers or an Arch, but plenty to enjoy

Tuesday 27 October 2020, Wembley 1 Tring Athletic 4 - SSM Premier, Vale Farm

Heavy traffic once off M1 but arrived on time only to find the game kicked off 5 minutes late. Game was a bottom of the table match up with Tring bottom.

Tring went ahead early on with a bit of a fluke but their next two goals were crackers with the last goal the best of the bunch.

Wembley had a better second half but Tring just sat back and soaked the pressure up, Wembley got one back and kept pushing forward without ever really challenging the keeper, Tring then hit them on the break and got 4th goal after 86 minutes,

Tring were the better team but they were helped by the ref who seemed quite lenient when dealing with some perstemt Tring fouling.

Liked the ground with an odd mixtures of stands, terracing, seats and bits of cover, maybe no twin towers or a large arch but plenty of cover to keep you dry and one stand even had seats with tables!
