Imber Court Sports Club is also home to Southern League Premier Division South club Metropolitan Police F.C. They play on the stadium pitch here, whilst there are three parallel pitches on the open part of the sports ground, behind the left hand goal, with this morning’s game taking place on the furthest of the three from the entrance, which has a more enclosed feel than the other two.

Today’s match was 7th versus 3rd in the league table. It was a little disappointing that Wykehamists turned up with just ten players, although an eleventh did make up the numbers three minutes before halftime. An even first half finished goalless, but there had been plenty of chances.

Wykehamists broke the deadlock midway through the second half, the striker who scored all six of their goals when I saw them win at Old Harrovians a few weeks ago, firing his shot left footed across the ‘keeper into the far corner of the net. King’s were level within five minutes, when a one-two on the edge of the box was poked past the ‘keeper and they won it late on, when a free kick was headed back across the box and nodded in from close range. The win sees King’s leapfrog Wykehamists in the league table.
