Match Report
New personal best, mainly due to this being a monumentally long season. Never before, I would hazard a guess, have I started with a pre-season friendly on 26th June and ended with competitive games 11 months later!
I doubt whether I’m ever going to improve on 143 games as (a) I cannot visualise another season of such length; (b) with fuel costs surging beyond £1.70 a litre, nearly 9,000 miles on football alone is not sustainable and (c) I’m not getting any younger!
High point would have been beating Torquay in the Trophy but, with all that went on in the week previously, St Albans was emotional. Low point would have to be a toss up between the FA Cup disaster at Hayes & Yeading or Braintree away, which I would probably go for as the performance matched the place, utterly depressing. One of the best games was the Christmas A26 derby between Crowborough and Tunbridge Wells on an absolute mud heap. It was a special night at Cray Valley when Tonbridge Angels Under-18’s stepped out for an Isthmian Youth League game for the first time in four years and an even better one at Glebe when, in a season of few wins, a first success was gained.
Sadly, it was another year in which goodbyes were said to several from the football family and comradeship is what it’s all about. May they look down on me in 2022/23 as the journey begins again in just 38 days time!
