Steve B the Groundhopper: January 2015
http://stevebthegroundhopper.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. Cwm Welfare v Newport Civil Service. 2pm 24 January 2015. Welsh League, Division Three. Cwm Welfare 4 Newport Civil Service 0 (att 16). Comfortable win for league newcomers Cwm Welfare, and a result that should ease their fears of slipping towards the relegation zone. Apparently the club have plans to lay some more hard standing for spectators, which on the evidence of the very muddy pitch surrounds, would b...

Steve B the Groundhopper: Dyffryn Banw v Abermule
http://stevebthegroundhopper.blogspot.com/2015/08/dyffryn-banw-v-abermule.html
Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. Dyffryn Banw v Abermule. 645pm 12 August 2015. Mid Wales League, Division Two. Dyffryn Banw 1 Abermule 2 (att 35). I've always liked watching football in the Mid Wales League, grounds in lovely rural settings and enjoyable country drives to get to them. Abermule survived the late scare to claim the points. Their players no doubt happy as they walked out of the field, across another field to the road, the...

Steve B the Groundhopper: Langney Wanderers v Lingfield
http://stevebthegroundhopper.blogspot.com/2015/08/langney-wanderers-v-lingfield.html
Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. Langney Wanderers v Lingfield. 315pm 8 August 2015. Southern Combination League, Division One. Langney Wanderers 2 Lingfield 3 (att 75). Having stayed in west London on Friday night I'd anticipated a trouble-free journey to one of the trickier grounds added to the ranks of "step six" for this season, but the M25 did it's best to hamper me. The home side created plenty of chances though, in a game that was al...

Steve B the Groundhopper: March 2015

Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. Wavertree West Derby Old Boys v Cardinal Newman. 6pm 31 March 2015. Liverpool Old Boys Amateur League, Division One. Wavertree West Derby Old Boys 4 Cardinal Newman 2 (att 6). Once the clocks go forward it's the start of what many groundhoppers refer to as the "silly season", the chance to spend midweek evenings watching matches you might not bother with on a Saturday afternoon. Wavertree West Derby Old Boys...

Steve B the Groundhopper: BEADS v St Mary's College
http://stevebthegroundhopper.blogspot.com/2015/08/beads-v-st-marys-college.html
Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. BEADS v St Mary's College. 630pm 10 August 2015. BEADS 1 St Mary's College 2 (att 34). Bit of a shock result this one, at least to me. BEADS have been one of the Teesside League's top sides in recent years, while St Mary's College were a division lower last season, but the leagues have been merged to create a one-division competition for 2015/16.

http://stevebthegroundhopper.blogspot.com/2015/08/ketton-v-netherton-united.html
Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. Ketton v Netherton United. 1045am 1 August 2015. Peterborough and District League, Premier Division. Ketton 2 Netherton United 2 (att 284). An early start to the season for clubs participating in this years Peterborough/United Counties League "hop", and an early start to the day for Ketton and Netherton to kick off the first of the day's four staggered games. Link to map of Ketton FC. When I’m not work...

Steve B the Groundhopper: April 2015
http://stevebthegroundhopper.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. 615pm 28 April 2015. Huddersfield and District League, Division One. Newsome 3 Holmbridge 3 (att 22). Thought I'd take a look at Huddersfield League champions Newsome, ahead of their likely elevation to the West Riding County Amateur League for next season. Newsome ended the game attacking in search of a winner, but the visitors held out for a point. For a late season game with nothing at stake it was en...

Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. Plungington v Brockholes Arms. 7pm 29 June 2015. Catforth and District Summer League, Division One. Plungington 8 Brockholes Arms 0 (att 16). My final game of the 2014/15 season, and it was a stroll for table-topping Plunginton who were far too strong for visitors Brockholes. That the home side didn't score more was down to a combination of wayward shooting and good display by the Brockholes goalkeeper.

Steve B the Groundhopper: Huddersfield Town U21 v Colchester United U21
http://stevebthegroundhopper.blogspot.com/2015/08/huddersfield-town-u21-v-colchester.html
Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. Huddersfield Town U21 v Colchester United U21. 2pm 10 August 2015. Under 21 Professional Development League Two. Huddersfield Town U21 4 Colchester United U21 0 (att 105). Easy win for Huddersfield Town as the new season got underway for professional clubs at under 21 level. The under 21 pitch has an area for spectators along just one side of the pitch. As usual at these venues there's no cover, which wo...

Steve B the Groundhopper: May 2015

Steve B the Groundhopper. Watching lower league football across the UK . and occasionally beyond. Dundee North End v Dundonald Bluebell. 230pm 30 May 2015. SJFA East Region, Premier League. Dundee North End 1 Dundonald Bluebell 3 (att 89). North End needed at least a draw, and ideally a win, to keep alive any hopes of avoiding relegation, but after a bright beginning it wasn't to be. Dundonald's third goal came after the break, while Dundee North End had scant consolation from an 83rd minute penalty.
