This game will sadly be remembered more by some for the fact that it kicked off earlier than advertised, rather than for it being a really good match. The match kicked off 15 minutes earlier than advertised for some reason, meaning quite a number of ‘hoppers missed the first two goals of the match (some might say it was their own fault for nipping to the pub in between matches). Quite why the organisers didn’t bother to tell anyone about the earlier start is a mystery, although they have form for this, as those of us at Ponlottyn a few years ago will well know.

Anyway, Civil Service were in command early on and ran out deserved winners.

At least the early kick off meant I was home before 8.15pm, even with dropping off a couple of passengers near Heathrow Airport.
