A return to a ground I visited 10 years ago for an evening game, so under an hours straightforward drive for me. A good size car park is in front of the main club building and turnstiles which are behind the near goal. There is grass banking on the right touchline which has a seated stand and covered terrace built into it and offers a great view of the proceedings on the pitch.  There is also a snack hut offering normal food fayre but I had a pocket full of Quality Street.

The Wasps are hovering near the relegation zone and Three Bridges are mid table.  The home side took the lead on 16 minutes when the striker went into the box and squared it to Tobon who struck it into the net from 15 yards.  East Grinstead were on top for most of the game but a shot from the visitors on half hour was tipped onto the crossbar by home keeper Taylor.  The second goal took a while coming but on 70 minutes the wait was worth it  A free kick 25 yards out was expertly left footed over the wall and into the bottom corner by Mahoney.
