The new BUCS App is absolutely useless as far as knowing what division or competition you are watching. I knew Creative Arts were hosting West London 2nds in the next two matches, it was just a case of which one was a league match and which was in a cup. This turned out to be the latter. Well, according to both teams, but the Referee thought it was a league match!

Farnham Park is next to Farnham Cricket Club and Farnham Park Golf Club. There are 2 football pitches here. There is one right outside the brick built changing rooms, then beyond a tree lined concrete pathway there is a second one, which was used today and it looked much flatter and in better condition than the other one.

Looking at the positions these two finished in last season, in South Eastern 7C (the lowest level in BUCS football) I wasn’t expecting much, as they were the bottom two in the league table, with Creative Arts failing to win a single game, although that has already been put right this season.

West London 2nds scored early on and Creative Arts soon levelled. Two goals in three minutes just before the break saw Creative Arts go 3-1 up and the visitors looked really tired. A goal in the opening ten seconds of the second half saw West London 2nds pull it back to 3-2 and they were rejuvenated. Creative Arts missed at least a dozen really good chances, whilst the visitors were more clinical with theirs, seeing them turn it round to lead 3-5, before a last minute goal from Creative Arts pulled it back to 4-5, leading to a very nervy couple of minutes stoppage time, but West London 2nds held on. Not the most skilful game, but certainly entertaining.
