Today I decided to ’tidy up’ a venue I had already visited, but for a different pitch. Back on 13th April 2011 I saw Angmering draw 0-0 versus Lancing United in a West Sussex League Premier Division match, a game that was played on the pitch that runs parallel in front of the clubhouse, which also has a small area of cover, whilst today’s match was played on the pitch to the rear of the building (complete with training lights along one side) to the right of the car park and running the opposite way to the other pitch. I was guaranteed to get the pitch I needed, as two matches were scheduled here today. Angmering Village hosted Angmering on the main pitch, with Village taking the local bragging rights with a 5-2 win, also in Division 2 South.

This was the first game of the season for Beaumont Park, owing to the odd number of teams in this division, whilst Wittering had lost their opening match 0-4 at home to Angmering Village. There wasn’t much between the two teams today, with a point apiece a fair outcome. Wittering went ahead with a free kick that went in off the underside of the crossbar after eighteen minutes, but Beaumont Park levelled the scores with an equaliser fourteen minutes from time.
