Aldershot Traction Athletic Club, known locally as ‘The Traco Club’, has two pitches, with tonight’s game played on the one adjacent to the clubhouse, running lengthways away from the building and roped along part of the pitch along the right hand touchline. There’s a small car park here, with very few spaces, not helped by the adjoining bowls club being very bust tonight, but got there just in time to bag one of the last remaining spots.

The match was 4th versus 1st in the league table, with the visitors having clinched the title after being awarded three points for their match away at Burpham, where the hosts couldn’t be bothered to raise a team, which saw them come into this still unbeaten for the season. Upper Hale had only lost one game themselves and the reverse fixture, which was only played on Saturday, had finished in a 1-1 draw.

It was a game between two evenly matched teams, producing few real clear cut chances. Upper Hale relied heavily on a long throw in merchant, but just couldn’t take advantage of it. Farnborough looked the more dangerous on the break, but just couldn’t find the breakthrough. Just as it looked liked it’d end up goalless, a quick break down the left saw a cross met with a side footed shot that diverted the ball low into the far corner to win it for the hosts and inflict the first defeat of the season on the champions.

Remarkably, a clear M25 and A3 in both directions, which is a real rarity these days.
