The Brighton, Worthing & District League now has just one division, but it is in a healthy state as there are 16 teams. This match was 15th versus 7th in the league table and was not of the greatest quality. Angmering were coasting towards an easy victory when the weather took a turn for the worse. What started as very light snow soon turned much heavier. The Referee called a halt to proceedings, saying he couldn’t see what was going on. During discussion on his decision, the snow stopped and the players began to re-take their positions on the field, but before we could get back underway it again began to snow and with the pitch quickly turning white, that was it! The result has appeared on both the results page and in the league table on the league website as 0-4, so it looks like the result stands!

The ground is a large field that had two pitches marked out that run widthways in front of the car park, with tonight’s match taking place on the nearer of the two. A raised grassed area gave a decent view of the match.

The F.A. have now relented on their spectator ban, at least as far as games on public land go, which wasn’t really enforceable anyway, so the photos will return from tomorrow onwards.
