Luckily, Kulture Klub had posted this venue change on Twitter, as Football Mitoo was (and still is on the results page) showing the game as being played at Henry Barrass Stadium and I’d also received a reply via text message from the home club confirming the venue. It’s a typical college ground, with a number of sports catered for, with tonight’s game played on the pitch running parallel to the driveway leading into the small car park as you enter off Hurst Avenue. Plenty of street parking too and you certainly don’t need to worry about your car around these parts, as it is one of the more affluent areas of London.

The match was 2nd versus 7th (out of 12) in the league table, the last game for both teams, with Kulture Klub guaranteed to finish as runners up and Aloysius able to finish one place higher with a win from this. There was certainly nothing to suggest anything end of season about it, apart from the fact that it kicked off eight minutes late and despite plenty of light, the Referee opted for 2 x 40 minute halves. Plenty of chances at both ends, but the only goal of the first half was a penalty for Aloysius after 35 minutes. Kulture Klub levelled after 66 minutes, cutting inside, before finishing with a shot into the far corner from the angle of the 18 yard box. Aloysius looked to have won it with a free kick round the wall from the edge of the D in the last minute, but straight from the restart, Kulture Klub broke forward and were awarded a free kick 25 yards out, which flew past the ‘keeper to make it 2-2.
