I had a few options for today, all on neutral venue 3G pitches, but with it being during the official F.A. ‘Close Season’, I decided to play it safe and head for this one, as Middlesex County League side Estudiantes are very active on Twitter, so no problem confirming kick off time or venue. It was also the nearest one, so at least if it was called off at short notice, I wouldn’t have wasted too much time driving. The set up here is a typical cage with spectator viewing along three quarters of one side.

The game itself was much closer than the scoreline suggests. The difference was that nearly all the chances for Estudiantes finished with goals being scored. Redbridge could easily have scored six goals themselves, but at least with the two late ones they did manage to give the final score some sort of respectability.
