The small car park at the ground was full on my arrival 30
minutes before kick-off so I parked in a side road behind the top goal. The pitch
is shared with cricket and is railed on 3 sides but can be removed for the
cricket season. One touchline has hard standing and there is an area of cover
attached to the clubhouse. Inside the clubhouse is a good size with a bar
selling alcohol and soft drinks as well as snacks. Inside there was also a small kitchen which
sold burgers, hot dogs and chips as well as hot drinks. Programmes are
available from the hardworking secretary, Ged Deacon.
The match was dominated by Bedmond from the start. The no9
& 10 strike force Arron Lewis and ‘Sipo’ Sippetts were dominant. Both had
scored in the first 3 minutes. A period of domination without adding to their
score for half an hour, then from a free kick from the left was headed in by ‘Sipo’
after a well-timed run. 5 minutes before the break no9 got his hat trick with
another header in the 6 yard box.
The second half produced a barrage of goals, with no10 Lewis
adding 3 to his first half effort and Bedmond reached 8 before the consolation
away goal from Letchworth. I missed 2 goals just collecting my cheeseburger and
came back to see the attacking double act being subbed. It didn’t stop the home side adding 2 further
goals before taking the foot of the accelerator for the last 5 mins.
Bedmond are a quality Step 7 side on this performance and
together with Standon & Puckeridge and Belstone are a class above the rest
of the division.
