Sunday 19 July 2026, The Rodings & Waltham 2 Prettygate 0 - PSF, Little Waltham Sports Club
Two teams from the Saturday Essex Border League playing on a Sunday, thought it may be a clash with cricket but the cricket ground is on the other side of the road in this small village, close to Chelmsford.
Was interested in this game as I think the home team will be at Step 7 this season , the Essex and Suffolk Border League, Premier Division.
First thoughts- the pitch is too small, if not it must be just at minimum size, also a very noticeable slope and after the heatwave, pitch hard and lacking grass. Decent car parking behind the club house and on street in the village, club house has a full bar (cheap)
One stand! Which looks like the old home dug out - made of wood and called the Brian Honeywood Stand, possibly named after a former Ipswich Youth player who went on to both play for and manage Chelmsford City.
Even start to the game before the hosts took the lead on21 minutes and added a second on 44 minutes. No further goals in the second half, visitors were a decent team (from Colchester, play in one of the lower Border League Divisions)
