There was a bit of confusion about where this match was actually going to be played. On arrival at the ground there were portable goals on the part railed off pitch, but they were both at one end. All seemed well however, when players started to arrive at the ground, but they were there for a Sunday League match, that was being played at a pitch round the back of the school. The general opinion was that the Oxhey match was being played across the other side of the road, where there was another part railed pitch. About half an hour before kick off, the home team appeared across the road, but then proceeded to walk across to where we thought the game was being played originally! It turned out that the reason for the confusion was that the changing rooms were not available, hence getting changed across the road instead.

Despite being 9th versus 8th in the league table, with neither side really having anything to play for, there was no end of season feel to it. Both teams went at it from the off and it could have gone either way and we could have had more goals if the four efforts that struck the crossbar and/or post had gone in. Bovingdon probably just about deserved the win.
