Fowlmere have been playing here in Meldreth for the last two seasons, but are hoping to return to their normal home ground, back in their own village, for next season.

Ely City Reserves arrived here tonight knowing that a point would see them promoted into the Premier Division. Fowlmere, who are in fourth place in the league table, gave as good as they got for the opening half hour, but the young Ely side dominated once they had gone ahead. Apart from the four goals, there were another half a dozen efforts that struck a post, with a couple of those coming from the hosts.

This now leaves Ely two points behind league leaders Bar Hill, with both teams having two matches to play. Bar Hill may not have been top however, as in three of their last five matches, the opposition teams have failed to turn up, (all three matches awarded as walkover wins for Bar Hill) which if they had, perhaps the full nine points would not have been gained. Unfortunately, clubs are not punished enough for failing to fulfill matches, which means teams can win leagues by default, which may be the case here, although it is not the fault of Bar Hill, but it certainly doesn’t reflect too well on the Cambridgeshire County League.
