This is the second successive season where Evergreen have been the only club that I haven’t visited in the Premier Division of this league, so it was about time that I got round to completing the set, with the action played out adjacent to the imposing Warner Bros. Studios.

A couple of weeks ago, bottom of the league table Sun Sports pulled out of the league, which meant their results were expunged from the table and that there will now be only one team relegated at the end of the season. This was not good news for Evergreen, as they had taken four points from their two matches against them, and also, it then left Evergreen bottom of the league in their place, whilst third from bottom Broadfields are a point ahead of them, but they lose no points from Sun Sports demise as they had only played them once and they lost that, so were unaffected.

Chipperfield started the day in seventh place in the league and looked far too good for the hosts from the off. By halftime it was 0-3 and there looked like little chance of a comeback, which turned out to be the case. Evergreen did pull one goal back, with a goal awarded by the Linesman, who thought the ball had crossed the goal line, but it certainly didn’t, as I was stood much nearer the incident and it was nowhere near and a perfect headed clearance up onto the crossbar by the defender.

It may turn out to be irrelevant as to whether Evergreen finish bottom or not, as during a conversation at halftime, I was told that they are hoping to join the Spartan South Midlands League next season.
