Heybridge Swifts 0 Takeley 1
High on effort low on quality; Swifts' survival hopes dealt hammer blow after scrappy home defeat.

Opportunistic stop on my way up norf' for work.
Cobblers beat Saddlers in EFL Trophy.
Lovely stuff

Seven goals, one game changing red card, and a guy who had the Excorcist theme music as the ringtone for his wife.

Chelmsford 1 Dagenham & Redbridge 4
Five goals and some mildly entertaining bin-throwing crowd trouble.
Also, every bar should have one of these:

Even all the extra cheese couldn't keep him warm; a tale of Christmas excess and poor coat selection.
One of favourite local(ish) #nonleague grounds.

Guinness, cheeseburgers, flute-hating, and enough hipster moustaches to last a lifetime.
Fabulous #Christmas catch-up with three of my oldest mates.

Witham Town 2 Felixstowe & Walton United 1
Another super evening at Witham, the home side producing one of their best displays of the season to deservedly take 3 points from the @isthmianleague.bsky.social league leaders.

Witham Town 4 Newmarket Town 2
Six goals, a penalty, a red card, and a half time tunnel scrap with an alleged manager headbutt. All under pissing rain. 0-2 down, 4-2 up...
Gotta love #nonleaguefootball

Six men lean on the railings, waiting for a football match to kick off. Photo is in black and white, and is taken from behind the men.
Herne Bay 4 Hastings Utd 0
Highly entertaining game. An electric winger on either flank for the home side. The Last Post on the bugle. Decent ground. Halftime cuppa. Two hours geek chat with my Dad and Brother.
Lovely stuff.

Football match a Maldon and Tiptree. The players are small in the foreground, put on perspective by the sun, clouds and sky above
Crazy game at Maldon - Waltham Abbey received THREE first half red-cards, leaving the door open for a second half rout.

Cracking day at Vale Park yesterday - proper old football stadium.
Immensely proud of the Maldon & Tiptree boys.

I understand progress is progress, but this is still a cathedral.
Bit of a weird atmosphere though as Curva Nord-less Inter laboured to a 2-1 win over Sassuolo

Bishop's Stortford goalkeeper Adam Hayton gives a big smile and a thumbs up to the camera after making a string of good saves to help his side to a 1-0 win over Real Bedford in the FA Cup

Towards the end of last season I went Tilbury FC, to sample their legendary cheeseburgers (and watch some football).

Took my girls to football. They had a lovely time, although I think the 10-goal thriller going on in the background didn't really have much to do with that 😂

FA Cup Extra Prelim Round replay. Low on quality but ultimately, the visitors held their battling hosts at arms length to emerge unscathed and progress to next round

Three goals, two red cards, great saves, and a hatful of missed chances. Great entertainment.
Competitive non-league football, oh how I've missed you.

It looks like I am going to have a theme this season, any new ground I visit, the home side have to wear striped shirts (or at a push hoops). Now off to see how many of the clubs on my 25/26 grounds wish list fit that criteria & research teams that do! #nonleague #grassroots #matchhopping
