It took around 35 minutes to drive here from Hampton. The 3G pitch is behind the main stadium of Tooting & Mitcham F.C. with the changing rooms for the synthetic pitch being in the building beneath the main stand.

Tooting Bec were unbeaten in the league before today, with 10 wins and three draws, from their first thirteen matches. Chessington were far better than their 10th position in the league table suggests, although it was very much backs to the wall for most of the second half, including eight minutes of added time, but they hung on for a deserved, if not expected, win.

Bec now trail league leaders Royal Holloway Old Boys by 5 points, but do have three games in hand.

With it already raining by 10 o’clock and the forecast for it to continue until the early evening, I decided to settle for an easy option and do a couple of matches on 3G pitches.

Old Bradfieldians kept up their 100% winning start to the season with their twelfth win, in a game that was over as a contest in the first quarter of an hour. Old Malvernians remain second bottom in the league table.

For the second time this season, I was the only spectator at the match !
