Richings Park won Division 1 last season, but have found it hard going in the higher division. They came into this having lost their opening three matches, failing to score a goal, whilst Marlow United had opened up with a 4-1 home win.

An early penalty for the visitors, followed by a very dominant first half, saw them lead 0-3 at the break. Their only goal from numerous chances in the second half was a late penalty. They then had a man sent off in stoppage time, for a second yellow card, but his first booking should really have been a straight red for his follow through on the home ‘keeper when it was only 0-1.

For the second successive Wednesday in this league, both teams were at the ground nice and early and warming up at 17.20. It is amazing how many teams round these parts manage to kick off late, even when they have floodlights and don’t start until 19.45 !
