This was the opening fixture of the season for these two. Fordham finished tenth in this division last season, whilst Stretham have been promoted, having finished runner up in Division 1B last season. There wasn’t much between them tonight, with both teams putting in a decent performance, despite the rock hard pitch. The only goal of the first half went to Fordham after twenty seven minutes, when a cross from the right was finished with a cushioned volley at the far post. They doubled their lead with twenty minutes left, when a quick break down the left saw a shot hit the far post, but it was followed in from close range. Stretham pulled a goal back in the last minute, when a high ball into the box was volleyed into the bottom corner.

Home to Fordham is the recreation ground in the centre of the village. There’s also bowling and cricket here, with the football having its own changing room building. The pitch is right in the far corner when looking from the car park. It’s roped along each side and there’s a small covered stand on the far side, painted in the club colours of red and black. Apart from a twenty minute delay queuing at the Dartford Crossing, it was a trouble free journey north. No problems whatsoever on the return, which took under two hours.
