Dirty Old Town

Newhaven v Eastbourne United Town in the Southern Combination Premiere League

The Dockers hosted the Townies at the Trafalgar Ground.  After an early chance to the Dockers, it turned in to a battle of half chances.  Newhaven went a goal up but conceded an own goal just before the final whistle.  Doh

Eastbourne's tactics of rolling around on the floor as if mortally wounded would put The Vegans to shame.  Wouldn't be surprised to see a few of them getting trials at the New Lawn.  The ref was impressed too.

Lovely night out and excellent hot chocolate.

Dockers unbeaten in 3.  Keep up the good work lads.

See you soon

Stay Safe.

Swerving the Checkatrade with you

Newhaven FC v Eastbourne United FC at the Trafalgar Ground in the Southern Combination Premiere League

The Dockers hosted the Whites in my first visit to my local team at Fort Road.  

There wasn't much of a battle though with Newhaven 2 goals up in 4 minutes.  It was 4-0 at half time.  Eastbourne put up s better fight in the second half but the chances fell to Newhaven and it finished 5-0 under the lights.

Nice friendly ground in walking distance of home.  Felt sorry for the bloke who had to keep fetching the ball form the park next door. A good noise from the supporters in the skate park.  Really impressed by the football played at Step 5 especially Newhaven who have a plan and are organised enough to stick to it.

And Tranmere got a point for a draw with Port Vale but lost the penalty shoot out apparently.  Good job I swerved it.

See you next week.

Stay Safe.

 Up the Dockers

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moonwalk

Horsham  away to South Park in a Pre-Season friendly


Back at the football for the first time in 179 days.  Never got to Wombledon as the season was ended and Tranmere demoted.  🤬
Uncle Dougie has transferred to Horsham for an undisclosed fee although it is reported that cans of Coke and Jaffa Cakes were involved.  

So it's the Hornets away at the Sparks for a pre-season friendly at King George's Field in darkest Surrey.

There was lots of running without much product.  Both sides had chances with SP testing the Horsham trialist keeper a few times in the first half.  Dougie had a good chance but unusually for him, hit it wide.  Horsham were better in the second period and won it with a late corner.

A fun night out on an Autumn evening. 

Was great to meet the Tranmere legend and current South Park player Baz Savage today although he is a bit taller than me. 


Hope to see you somewhere soon.

Stay safe.
