This was the first game ever played at the complex and in fact, it was only actually passed off for use on Thursday. It will also be home to Bedford Tigers R.L.F.C. although it was not clear whether they will actually play on the same pitch. There are at least 5 pitches here, but the club would never be able to progress up the pyramid as the pitch is too far from the changing rooms. It does seem odd that a brand new facility has been built without having the main pitch next to the only building on site.

It was another match featuring two of the early pace setters, being 4th v 2nd. A decent first half, but the second half tailed off somewhat.

I only did the first two matches of the Groundhop, as I had already visited the third ground of the day at Cranfield United, as they have had floodlights for as long as I can remember, going back to their days in the Spartan South Midlands League. I saw them lose 0-4, versus Olney Town (of the United Counties League) in a Buckinghamshire Charity Cup 1st Round match on 2nd October 2002.
