Having been at Meon Vale for my last match, the ‘Meon’ theme continued, as it was a trip to East Meon for today’s game, although the two villages concerned are over 100 miles apart. As with the match on Thursday, this is not the normal home venue for the club, with Clanfield playing this match, plus one other, here in East Meon as their own pitch recovers from damage caused by moles.

In very windy conditions, where the wind was blowing down the pitch, it was pretty even early on. Locks Heath went ahead with a penalty, but Clanfield were level within two minutes. With the wind in their favour for the second half, Clanfield totally dominated and were well worth their three goal winning margin, which gave them their first win of the season from the opening three games. Locks Heath are one of four teams that are yet to pick up a point.
